The idea that memory formation is a simultaneous process is reflected in the:

Which of the following is a feature of the storage stage of memory?

an active system that receives information from the senses, organizes and alters that information as it stores it away, and then retrieves the information from storage

process of transforming information into a form that can be stored in memory

holding onto information for some period of time

getting information that is in storage into a form that can be used

iconic memory (about 1 sec.)

echoic memory (about 4 secs.)

ability to focus on only one stimulus (or a narrowed range of stimuli) from among all sensory input present - information gets into STM through selective attention

content can be held (or stored) in STM

type of long‐term memory including memory for skills, procedures, habits, and conditioned responses

type of long‐term memory containing information that is conscious and known

declarative memory containing general knowledge

declarative memory containing personal information not readily available to others

memory retrieval in which the information to be retrieved must be "pulled" from memory with very few external cues

ability to match a piece of information or a stimulus to a stored image or fact
