Sensory Memory Sensory memory is the earliest stage of memory. During this stage‚ sensory information from the environment is stored for a very brief period of time‚ generally for no longer than a half-second for visual information and 3 or 4 seconds for auditory information. We attend to only certain aspects of this sensory memory‚ allowing some of this information to pass into the next stage - short-term memory. Short-Term Memory Short-term memory‚ also known as active memory‚ is the information

Their model suggests that the memory consists of three stores‚ a sensory store‚ a short-term store and a long-term store; all three have a specific and relatively inflexible function. It stressed that information for our environment such as the visual or auditory

Discussion The experiment’s results have shown that the participants had no major difficulty in retaining 6 and 9 digit information……….. Measures of working memory capacity reflect both memory processes and executive attention‚ whereas traditional measures of short-term memory reflect primarily memory processes such as grouping‚ chunking‚ and rehearsal. In the digit-span task‚ the participants were shown a list of digits‚ and afterwards were asked to recall them in order by writing down

Is there a difference between gender and memory? The purpose of this study was to determine whether females or males have better short-term memory. By doing this‚ a study of the ten digit span task was conducted to 40 subjects. The subjects were split into two groups‚ in which consisted of 20 females and 20 males for each group. One group was tested for 20 seconds and the second group was tested for 35 seconds. Subjects were given a paper with ten digits and were asked to memorize it for either 20
