    What are the three stages of memory in the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

    They are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

    What happens during encoding in memory?

    Information is converted into a usable form for storage.

    How does short-term memory differ from sensory memory?

    STM has a limited duration and capacity, while sensory memory has unlimited capacity.

    What is the duration of sensory memory?

    It lasts between 0.2 seconds and 4 seconds.

    What is iconic memory?

    It is the visual sensory memory that holds images for a brief period.

    What is echoic memory?

    It is the auditory sensory memory that retains sounds for a few seconds.

    What is the capacity of short-term memory?

    It can hold 5 to 9 bits of information.

    What technique can increase the capacity of short-term memory?

    Chunking groups information into larger units.

    What is the primary way information is lost from short-term memory?

    Through decay or displacement by new information.

    What is the difference between explicit and implicit memory?

    Explicit memory requires conscious retrieval, while implicit memory does not.

    What are the two subtypes of explicit memory?

    Episodic memory and semantic memory.

    What is episodic memory?

    It involves memories of personally experienced events.

    What is semantic memory?

    It includes factual knowledge and information about the world.

    What is procedural memory?

    It involves memory for motor skills and actions learned previously.

    What happens if information is not encoded from short-term memory to long-term memory?

    The information is likely to be forgotten.

    What is the role of maintenance rehearsal in memory?

    It helps to keep information in short-term memory longer.
