Information-Processing Approach

3. memory An individual's general knowledge about the world, independent of the individual's identity with the past
5. memory Memory that holds information from the world in its original form for only an instant
6. Retaining information over time
9. of processing theory The theory that processing of memory occurs on a continuum from shallow to deep, with deeper processing producing better memory
12. memory Procedural knowledge in the form of skills and cognitive operations. Nondeclarative memory cannot be consciously recollected at least not in the form of specific events or facts
13. memory The retention of information about the where and when of life's happenings
14. memory A three part system that holds information temporarily as a person performs a task. A kind of 'mental workbench' that lets individuals manipulate,assemble,and construct information when they make decisions, solve problems,and comprehend written and spoken-language
15. term memory A limited-capacity memory system in which information is retained at least 30 seconds unless it is rehearsed, which case it can be retained longer
16. term memory A type of memory that holds enormous amounts of information for a long period of time in a relatively permanent fashion
17. The retention of information over time,which involves encoding,storage,and retrieval

1. model A model of memory that involves a sequence of three stages: sensory memory,short term memory,and long term memory
2. memory The conscious recollection of information,such as specific facts or events that can be verbally communicated
4. Taking information out of stage
7. Grouping or 'packing' information into 'higher-order' units that can be remembered as single units
8. The conscious repetition of information over time to increase the length of time it stays in memory
10. The extensiveness of information processing involved in encoding
11. Getting information into memory
