Three types of Memory
Sensory Memory
Short term Memory
Long Term Memory
Sensory Memory
It act as “buffers” for stimuli received through
senses
◦ iconic memory: visual stimulus
◦ echoic memory: acoustic stimulus
◦ haptic memory: touch stimulus
Human Memory
Sensory Memory
◦ Information is passed from sensory
memory into short-term memory by
attention
◦ Attention is the concentration of the mind

Models of LTM - Scripts
Model of stereotypical information
Script has elements that can be
instantiated with values for
context
Episodic – scene by scene
Script for a visit to the vet
Roles:vet examines
Entry conditions:
diagnoses
dog ill
treats
vet open
owner brings dog in
owner has money
pays
takes dog out
Result: dog better
owner poorer
Scenes: arriving at reception
vet richer
waiting in room
examination
Props: examination
paying
table
medicine
Tracks: dog needs medicine
instruments
dog needs operation
Models of LTM - Production
rules
LTM is not only ‘facts’ it is also ‘rules’
Representation of procedural knowledge.
Condition/action rules
if condition is matched
then use rule to determine action.
IF dog is growling
THEN run away
LTM – Memory Process
3 Steps
◦Storage or remembering of
Information
◦Forgetting
◦Information Retrieval
Storage or remembering of
Information
Rehearsal
Information is stored from STM to
LTM by rehearsal
structure, meaning and familiarity
◦information easier to remember 18
LTM - Forgetting
Decay
◦ information is lost gradually but very
slowly
Interference
◦ new information replaces
old :retroactive interference
E.g. New Mobile No
◦ old may interfere with new: proactive
inhibition
E.g. Old Address , First Impression of a
Person
Forgetting - by Emotional Factors
LTM - Retrieval
Recall
◦ information reproduced from
memory can be assisted by signals,
◦ e.g. categories, imagery
Recognition
◦ information gives knowledge that it
has been seen before
◦ less complex than recall
◦ E.g. Multiple choice Question
