Across
  1. 6. Taking information out of stage
  2. 7. The number of digits an individual can report back without error in a single presentation
  3. 9. Getting information into memory
  4. 12. A type of memory that holds enormous amounts of information for a long period of time in a relatively permanent fashion
  5. 13. A model of memory that involves a sequence of three stages: sensory memory,short term memory,and long term memory
  6. 14. Procedural knowledge in the form of skills and cognitive operations
  7. 17. The conscious repetition of information over time to increase the length of time it stays in memory
  8. 18. Memory that holds information from the world in its original form for only an instant
Down
  1. 1. The retention of information about the where and when of life's happenings
  2. 2. 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
  3. 3. The theory that processing of memory occurs on a continuum from shallow to deep, with deeper processing producing better memory
  4. 4. Retaining information over time
  5. 5. 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
  6. 8. The extensiveness of information processing involved in encoding
  7. 10. The conscious recollection of information,such as specific facts or events that can be verbally communicated
  8. 11. The retention of information over time,which involves encoding,storage,and retrieval
  9. 15. Grouping or 'packing' information into 'higher-order' units that can be remembered as single units
  10. 16. An individual's general knowledge about the world, independent of the individual's identity with the past
