  2. Sensory memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_memory

    Sensory information is stored in sensory memory just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory. [1] Humans have five traditional senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. Sensory memory (SM) allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased. [2]

  3. Echoic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoic_memory

    A short-term memory model proposed by Nelson Cowan attempts to address this problem by describing a verbal sensory memory input and storage in more detail. It suggests a pre-attentive sensory storage system that can hold a large amount of accurate information over a short period of time and consists of an initial phase input of 200-400ms and a ...

  4. Iconic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconic_memory

    Iconic memory is the visual sensory memory register pertaining to the visual domain and a fast-decaying store of visual information. It is a component of the visual memory system which also includes visual short-term memory [1] (VSTM) and long-term memory (LTM). Iconic memory is described as a very brief (<1 second), pre-categorical, high ...

  5. Measurement of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_memory

    The information that travels from sensory memory to short-term memory must pass through the Attention gateway. The filter of attention keeps a check between sensory memory and short-term memory. You cannot skip systems of memory, such as jumping directly from sensory input to long-term memory.

  6. Forgetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting

    Information in the first stage, sensory memory, is forgotten after only a few seconds. In the second stage, short-term memory, information is forgotten after about 20 years. While information in long-term memory can be remembered for minutes or even decades, it may be forgotten when the retrieval processes for that information fail. [5]

    Model of the Memory Process. Human memory is the process in which information and material is encoded, stored and retrieved in the brain. [1] Memory is a property of the central nervous system, with three different classifications: short-term, long-term and sensory memory. [2]

  8. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    Iconic memory is a fast decaying store of visual information, a type of sensory memory that briefly stores an image that has been perceived for a small duration. Echoic memory is a fast decaying store of auditory information, also a sensory memory that briefly stores sounds that have been perceived for short durations.

  9. George Sperling - Wikipedia

    He believed that all nine letters were stored in the viewer's memory for a short period of time, but the memory failed leading to only 4 or 5 being recalled. Sperling called this iconic memory. This was exemplified through Sperling's Iconic Memory Test, which involves having a grid of letters being flashed for 1/20 of a second.
