  2. Short-term memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory

    Neither holds information for long, but short-term memory is a simple store, while working memory allows it to be manipulated. [17] Short-term memory is part of working memory, but is not the same thing. Working memory refers to structures and processes used for temporarily storing and manipulating information.

  3. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_(memory)

    This allows data to be conveyed in the short term, without consolidating anything for permanent storage. From here a memory or an association may be chosen to become a long-term memory, or forgotten as the synaptic connections eventually weaken. The switch from short to long-term is the same concerning both implicit memory and explicit memory.

  4. Storage (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_(memory)

    However, to explain the recall process, the memory model must identify how an encoded memory can reside in the memory storage for a prolonged period until the memory is accessed again, during the recall process; but not all models use the terminology of short-term and long-term memory to explain memory storage; the dual-store theory and a ...

  5. Memory and retention in learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_Retention_in...

    Short-term memory is responsible for retaining and processing information very temporarily. It is the information that we are currently aware of thinking about. [2]: 13 Short term memory is also known as the working memory. The storage capacity and duration of short-term memory is very limited; information can be lost easily with distraction. [2]

    Encoding is the crucial first step to creating a new memory. Encoding allows the perceived item of use or interest to be converted into a construct that can be stored within the brain and recalled later from short term or long term memory. Working memory stores information for immediate use or manipulation.

  7. Memorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorization

    A mnemonic link system is a method of remembering lists, based on creating an association between the elements of that list. For example, if one wished to remember the list (dog, envelope, thirteen, yarn, window), one could create a link system, such as a story about a "dog stuck in an envelope, mailed to an unlucky black cat playing with yarn ...

  8. Encoding specificity principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_specificity_principle

    State-dependent memory is one example of encoding specificity. If an individual encodes information while intoxicated he or she, ideally, should match that state when attempting to recall the encoded information. This type of state-dependent effect is strongest with free recall rather than when strong retrieval cues are present. [16]

  9. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    For example, short-term memory can be broken up into different units such as visual information and acoustic information. In a study by Zlonoga and Gerber (1986), patient 'KF' demonstrated certain deviations from the Atkinson–Shiffrin model. Patient KF was brain damaged, displaying difficulties regarding short-term memory. Recognition of ...
