Answer 1

a. Chunking 6. The process of breaking down information into smaller pieces.

• Chunking is grouping informations and dividing them into smaller pieces or chunks so that they are easily remembered.

b. Maintenance rehersal. 7. The process of repeating information to enhance retention.

• Maintenance rehearsal involves holding memory for a very short duration, for about 20 seconds. It does not involve active elaboration, it involves repeating the information for retention and when the task is accomplished, the memory fades away.

c. Consolidation. 4. The process of transforming short-term memories into long- term memories.

Our short memories are tranformed into long term memories by the process of consolidation. When we rehearse and recall the memory again and again, it strengthen the neural connections and thus, memory consolidation occurs.

d. Short-term memory. 3. Subsystem that retains and processes new information for a short period of time.

• Short term memory is the active and primary memory. It actively holds the memory for a short period of time with out any manipulation and elaboration.

e. Elaborative memory. 8. The process of assigning meaning to information to transfer to long term memory.

f. Sensory registers. 1. Hold information as either icon or echo.

g. Encoding. 2. Transforming information into a storable form

h. Long-term memory. 5. Sub-system that retains information for long periods of time
