Chapter 7: Human Memory Human Memory: Basic Questions How does information get into memory? How is information maintained in memory? How is information pulled back out of memory? Figure 7.2 Three key processes in memory Encoding: Getting Information Into Memory The role of attention Focusing awareness Divided attention Encoding: Getting Information into Memory The role of attention Levels of processing Incoming information processed at different levels Deeper processing = longer lasting memory codes Encoding levels: Structural = shallow Phonemic = intermediate Semantic = deep Figure 7.3 Levels-of-processing theory Enriching Encoding Elaboration = linking a stimulus to other information at the time of encoding Thinking of examples

Chapter 7 Study Guide: Human Memory Encoding: Forming a memory code. Attention: Focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. It is like a filter that screens out most potential stimuli while allowing a select few to pass through to conscious awareness. Selective Attention: Filtering out the potential stimulus around you to focus on a very narrow range of stimuli. Early-Selection: Suggests that the filter of attention is placed after sensory detection and before recognition of meaning. Late-Selection: Suggests that the filter is placed after recognition of meaning but before response selection (i.e. Cocktail Party Phenomenon). Levels-Of-Processing Theory: Proposes that deeper levels of processing result in longer-lasting memory codes.

Chapter Seven Encoding: Getting Information into memory Next-in-line effect: Participants in a group take turns talking to the group and they tend to forget what was said right before their turn to speak. This happens because when participants are next in line to speak they are too preoccupied rehearsing what they are going to say. The Role of Attention: Attention ? involves focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Selective attention is important because without it the world would seem like utter chaos because you can?t block out all the other stimuli. Without this you wouldn?t be able to read a book, have a conversation with a friend or even have a coherent thought.
