A
This is a type of memory that is more easily described or explained to others.
Explicit Memory
As part of our working memory, this process holds and manipulates auditory information for a short time, usually associated with repetition
Phonological loop
This process is used to actively process incoming auditory/visual information
Working memory model
As the control center of working memory, this directs attention and manages cognitive processes
Central executive
This biological process allows for repeated skills to become easier to perform over time due to synaptic connections strengthening every time we repeat the action
Long-term potentiation
Remembering to call your doctor tomorrow would be an example of this type of implicit memory
Prospective Memory
Encoding information this way involves focusing on how information sounds, such as remembering rhyming words
Phonemic processing / Encoding
This part of working memory allows us to visualize objects and their locations in space, helping us with spacial awareness
Visuospatial sketchpad
This type of processing requires attention and conscious attempt at remembering.
Effortful processing
This type of memory consists of the the shortest storage capacity, almost immediately replaced with new information
Sensory memory
As a part of shallow processing, this involves using physical characteristics to encode information
Structural processing / Encoding
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This type of processing involves encoding without conscious effort
Automatic processing
This is general term for learning that has continued over time as you gain knowledge and experiences.
Memory
This type of explicit memory covers remembering personal experiences and events
Episodic Memory
This type of sensory memory involves visual images
Iconic memory
This type of implicit memory would include remembering how to ride a bike or tie your shoes
Procedural Memory
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This type of explicit memory covers remembering general knowledge and facts
Semantic Memory
This type of memory temporarily holds information for processing
Short-term memory
This model suggests our memories are processed through three distinct systems that interact with each other
Multi-store model
This type of sensory memory involves auditory memory
Echoic memory
This type of memory is more challenging to describe or explain
Implicit Memory
This type memory is relatively permanent and limitless
Long-term memory
