Short Term Memory and Long Term Memory Short term memory (STM) is stored in the brain for approximately 3- 18 seconds‚ whereas long term memories (LTM) can be stored in the brain from up to a few minutes to a lifetime. STM and LTM have different encoding processes. STM is encoded into the brain mainly by sound (acoustic)‚ the way LTM is encoded into the brain in terms of the word or situations meaning rather than sound (semantically). The capacity of LTM seems unlimited‚ though research has shown

Outline and evaluate the multi-store model of memory (12) The multi-store model of memory (MSM) was developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968 and explains how information flows from one storage system to another‚ with three permanent structures in memory: sensory memory (SM)‚ short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM). It describes memory as something made up of a series of stores and these each differ in terms of their capacity‚ duration and encoding process. Information is detected

I can’t recall more than half of the material I "learned" in high school! It was my last 2 years of high school when I really started to slack and

One fundamental part of our brain‚ that is probably one of the most important to the disabled‚ is the Parietal Lobe which receives impulses that control one of our most important senses; touch. The Parietal Lobe is located near the center of the brain‚ behind the frontal
