Memory Models
Which model includes sensory, short-term, and long-term memory?
Multi-Store Model?
Which memory stores skills like riding a bike?
Procedural memory
Which brain structure is essential for forming new memories?
Hippocampus
All information in sensory memory is transferred to short-term memory. True or False?
False.
Not all information in sensory memory is transferred to short-term memory. Only information that we pay attention to is likely to be selected for further processing and transferred to short-term memory.
Which memory store has a very limited capacity (about 7 items)?
Short-term memory.
Which type of long-term memory stores personal experiences?
Episodic Memory
We can retrieve all the old memories as long as we want. True of False?
False: Not all old memories can be retrieved whenever we want; retrieval depends on factors such as memory strength, retrieval cues, and interference.
We can increase the capacity of the short-term memory. True or false?
False.
The capacity of short-term memory is limited and cannot be permanently increased. However, we can use strategies such as chunking to make better use of its limited capacity.

the working memory model
Which memory stores facts and general knowledge?
Semantic Memory
Which part of the limbic system processes emotions?
