Key Concepts

Short-Term Memory

Short-term memory is the system responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information that is actively being thought about. It has a limited capacity and duration, and the information is typically stored in an auditory format, even if the original stimulus comes from a visual sensory memory.

Encoding Processes

Encoding is the process of transforming sensory input into a format suitable for storage in short-term memory. Research in cognitive psychology indicates that, despite the modality of the original information, short-term memory often relies on auditory (or phonological) codes, making auditory encoding a key characteristic of this memory system.

Selective Attention

Selective attention is the cognitive process that filters and focuses on relevant stimuli from the environment while ignoring irrelevant information. It is essential for transferring data from sensory memory to short-term memory, as only attended items are processed further.

Sensory Memory

Sensory memory refers to the brief, initial storage of sensory information after an item is perceived. It includes modality-specific components such as iconic memory for visual stimuli and echoic memory for auditory stimuli. This stage holds information long enough for further processing but only for a very short duration.

Transcript

00:01 All right, so this question is asking, for information to travel from either the iconic or a co -acensory system to short -term memory, it must first be blank and then encoded primarily into blank form.

00:13 A, unconsciously chosen, auditory, b, selectively attended to visual, c, biologically chosen visual, or d selectively attended to auditory.

00:25 All right.

00:28 So when you really have to get it understanding what really makes or allows for information to travel from our sensory system, our sensory system to our short -term memory.

00:41 Just to recall information or perception sensations really travel, or not perceptions, but sensations really travel from sensory system to short -term and eventually is consolidated into long -term where it stays or, it is eventually lost.

00:59 Another thing that's important to remember, especially when looking at the options we have here, is that to remember that memory is an active system and that it's something that our brains are actively doing rather than going into default and having it done mechanically, if that makes sense.

01:21 So something that takes effort, it takes effort.

01:24 Whether you're encoding something or remembering something or storing something.

01:32 So with that being said, when looking at the first answer portion, our options are either unconsciously chosen, selectively attended to, or biologically chosen.

01:46 So when keeping that sort of thinking that memory is an active process, we know that it isn't just unconscious, it's not unconsciously chosen, nor is it biological, biologically chosen.

02:01 Again, or not again, but when thinking about it in a more realistic sense, if memory was biologically chosen, we'd only remember things that would help us survive when thinking about evolution and sort of like the biology of that.

02:19 It just doesn't make sense for us to remember things that are just biologically chosen...
