Iconic Memory
• a brief storage of “raw data” in the visual system
![Page 3: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Echoic Memory
• Auditory information is stored in a similar sensory “buffer”– Echoic memory seems to last for several
seconds
![Page 4: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Properties of Sensory Memory
1. Brief (iconic ~500ms; echoic ~2 seconds)

Short-Term Memory
• process by which we hold information “in mind”
![Page 9: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Short-Term Memory
• process by which we hold information “in mind”
• example: temporarily remembering a phone number
![Page 10: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Duration? Capacity?
• How could one measure these parameters?
![Page 11: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Duration– Brown-Petersen Task:
• subject is given a trigram (e.g. C-F-W) to remember
• vocal rehearsal is prevented by counting backwards
• recall accuracy tested as a function of retention interval
![Page 12: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• STM decays over seconds
![Page 13: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Duration– Brown-Petersen Task Interpretation:
rapid loss of information in STM (over a period of seconds…much longer than sensory memory)
![Page 14: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– How might you measure capacity?
![Page 15: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– George Miller – Subject is given longer and longer lists of
to-be-remembered items (words, characters, digits)
![Page 16: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– George Miller – Subject is given longer and longer lists of
to-be-remembered items (words, characters, digits)
– Result: Subjects are successful up to about 7 items
![Page 17: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!
![Page 18: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!– Recalling takes time !
![Page 19: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!– Recalling takes time !– It seems that the “capacity” of STM (at
least measured in this way) depends on the rate of speech - faster speech leads to apparently larger capacity
– Some believe capacity is “2 - 3 seconds worth of speech”
![Page 20: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Why do we “forget” from STM?– Does the memory trace decay?
• not likely because with very small lists (like 1 item) retention is high for long intervals
![Page 21: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Why do we “forget” from STM?– Does the memory trace decay?
• not likely because with very small lists (like 1 item) retention is high for long intervals
– Instead, it seems that information “piles up” and begins to interfere
![Page 22: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
![Page 23: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
• For example, severity of interference depends on meaning
![Page 24: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
• For example, severity of interference depends on meaning– Subjects are given successive recall tasks
with list items from the same category (e.g. fruits)
– final list is of either same or different category - how is good is recall on this list?
![Page 25: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Accuracy rebounds if category changes
![Page 26: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Coding in STM
• How is information coded in STM?
![Page 27: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate of speech
![Page 28: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate of speech– phonological similarity effect: similar sounding words are harder to store/recall than different
sounding words
![Page 29: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate of speech– phonological similarity effect: similar sounding words are harder to store/recall than different
sounding words
What does this suggest about the nature of information in STM?
![Page 30: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Coding in STM
• It seems that information can be stored in a linguistic or phonological form
![Page 31: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Coding in STM
• It seems that information can be stored in a linguistic or phonological form
Must it be stored this way?
![Page 32: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Coding in STM
• It is also possible to “keep in mind” non-verbal information, such as a map
Are there two different STM systems?
![Page 33: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A Modular Approach to STM
Articulatory Loop
Central Executive
Visuospatial Sketchpad
Experiment 1 in the article by Lee Brooks demonstrates a double dissociation between Articulatory Loop and Visuospatial Sketchpad
![Page 34: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Lee Brooks: interference between different representations in STM (Experiment 1)– Memory Representation
• verbal task: categorize words in a sentence• spatial task: categorize corners in a block letter
– Response Modality• verbal response: say “yes” or “no”• spatial response: point to “yes” or “no”
![Page 35: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Working Memory “Modules”
• Interpretation:– supports notion of modularity in Working Memory (visuospatial sketchpad / articulatory loop)

Long-Term Memory
• Characteristics (intuitive with some introspection):
– Persists indefinitely (up to decades!)
– Requires no active process of rehearsal (at least that we are conscious of)
![Page 39: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Long-Term Memory
• Characteristics (intuitive with some introspection):
– Persists indefinitely (up to decades!)
– Requires no active process of rehearsal (at least that we are conscious of)
– What are some examples of Long-Term Memories?
![Page 40: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Some Distinctions in LTM
• Endel Tulving: There are two broad categories of information that are represented in LTM -
• Examples:– What did you eat for breakfast?– What is the capital of Canada– Where were you when…– Are maple trees deciduous?– Riding a bike !?
![Page 41: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Some Distinctions in LTM
• Endel Tulving: There are two broad categories of information that are represented in LTM -
• Episodic Memory: memory of an event in your life
• autobiographical• has a temporal context - something about time is
encoded along with the memory
![Page 42: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Some Distinctions in LTM
• Endel Tulving: There are two broad categories of information that are represented in LTM -
• Semantic Memory: memory of facts, knowledge of the world
• unconnected to an autobiographical event• no temporal context
![Page 43: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Some Distinctions in LTM
• A third category may be distinguished:– Example: riding a bike, playing an
instrument
![Page 44: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Some Distinctions in LTM
• Procedural Memory: memory for actions
![Page 45: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Semantic Memory
• Capacity is huge (unlimited?)
![Page 46: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Semantic Memory
• Structure of encoding is associative
![Page 47: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

When You Don’t Remember
• Two reasons why you don’t remember:
![Page 49: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
When You Don’t Remember
• Two reasons why you don’t remember:
• Unavailable– It wasn’t successfully encoded - something went wrong while
you were studying
![Page 50: Read: Sacks for Thursday Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for Thursday](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d585503460f94a38314/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
When You Don’t Remember
• Two reasons why you don’t remember:• Unavailable
– It wasn’t successfully encoded - something went wrong while you were studying
• Inaccessible– memory is stored but cannot be retrieved, perhaps because appropriate connections aren’t being
made
