true

Sensory memory lasts a fraction of a second before the information is lost. t/f?

true

Short-term memory, long-term memory, and sensory memory are the three memory stores. t/f?

true

The prefrontal cortex, parietal lobe, and hippocampus are brain structures attributed to memory. T F

true

The process of storing, encoding, and retrieving information is known as memory. t/f?

true

Two ways to transfer a memory into long-term memory are maintenance rehearsal and elaborative rehearsal. t/F?

true

Explain chunking, recency effect, and primacy effect in regards to short-term memory when more than nine items of unrehearsed information are taken in.

Chunking increases the capacity of short-term memory by recoding information into more meaningful units. When large amounts of information are given, short-term memory usually remembers the first set of unrehearsed information (primacy) or the last set of unrehearsed information (recency), but few things from the middle.

What are the two types of long-term memory? Name a characteristic of each.

Explicit memory is used for facts, events, and meanings such as names, dates, events, and ideas. There are two subtypes of explicit memory: semantic and episodic. Implicit memory is used for skills and motor patterns such as actions skills and operations, like riding a bike or driving a car. One subtype of implicit memory is procedural memory.

What are the three processes of memory?

The three processes of memory are encoding, storing, and retrieving
