• Attention: Attention: Focusing awarenessFocusing awareness• Selective Attention:Selective Attention: selection of input selection of input
– FilteringFiltering: screens out most potential stimuli while : screens out most potential stimuli while allowing selected info to pass through into conscious allowing selected info to pass through into conscious awarenessawareness
– Cocktail Party PhenomenonCocktail Party Phenomenon: suggests that filters : suggests that filters occur lateroccur later
– Stroop Effect:Stroop Effect: automatic processes can interfere w/ automatic processes can interfere w/ other tasks other tasks GreenGreen//RedRed
– Next in Line EffectNext in Line Effect: when taking turns speaking : when taking turns speaking you forget what is said right before your turn.you forget what is said right before your turn.
– Serial Position Effect-Serial Position Effect- When you remember info at When you remember info at the beginning & end but nothing in betweenthe beginning & end but nothing in between

• Incoming info processed at different levelsIncoming info processed at different levelsDeeper processing = longer lasting memory codesDeeper processing = longer lasting memory codes
• Encoding levelsEncoding levels::1) Structural 1) Structural = shallow (physical structure)= shallow (physical structure)
2) Phonemic2) Phonemic = intermediate (sounds like) = intermediate (sounds like)
3) Semantic 3) Semantic = deep (meaning)= deep (meaning)

• ElaborationElaboration = linking a stimulus to other info at = linking a stimulus to other info at the time of encodingthe time of encoding– Thinking of examplesThinking of examples
• Visual ImageryVisual Imagery = creation of visual images to = creation of visual images to represent words to be rememberedrepresent words to be remembered
• Dual-coding theory Dual-coding theory = semantic + visual codes = semantic + visual codes (2 >1)(2 >1)
– Easier to visualize concrete objects Easier to visualize concrete objects
• Self-Referent EncodingSelf-Referent Encoding = making info = making info personally meaningfulpersonally meaningful

• Information-processing theoriesInformation-processing theories– Subdivide memory into Subdivide memory into 3 different stores3 different stores
• Sensory, Short-term, Long-termSensory, Short-term, Long-term
– Atkinson & Shiffrin Model of Memory Atkinson & Shiffrin Model of Memory StorageStorage = incoming info passes through 2 = incoming info passes through 2 temporary storage buffers 1) Sensory 2) Short temporary storage buffers 1) Sensory 2) Short Term then 3) Long TermTerm then 3) Long Term

• Working MemoryWorking Memory – (Baddeley) allows temporary – (Baddeley) allows temporary storage & manipulation of the info necessary for complex storage & manipulation of the info necessary for complex cognitive tasks (cognitive tasks (language comprehension, learning, reasoninglanguage comprehension, learning, reasoning) It ) It require the simultaneous storage& processing of info. require the simultaneous storage& processing of info. – Executive control system: Executive control system: attentional-controlling attentional-controlling
systemsystem– Phonological rehearsal loop: Phonological rehearsal loop: stores & rehearses stores & rehearses
speech-based info & is necessary for the acquisition of speech-based info & is necessary for the acquisition of both native & second-language vocabulary. both native & second-language vocabulary.

• Encoding Specificity:Encoding Specificity: memories are linked memories are linked to the context where they are created to the context where they are created (learning (learning a word by the way it sounds then sound would be a word by the way it sounds then sound would be the retrieval cue to help remember)the retrieval cue to help remember)
• Transfer-Appropriate Processing: Transfer-Appropriate Processing: memory will be best when the processes memory will be best when the processes engaged in during encoding match those engaged in during encoding match those engaged in during retrievalengaged in during retrieval
