Iconic memory is a form of sensory memory that automatically holds visual information for about a quarter of a second or more; as soon as you shift your attention, the information disappears.
Echoic memory is a form of sensory memory that holds auditory information for 1 to 2 seconds.
Short term memory, more recently called working memory, refers to a process that can hold a limited amount of information-an average of seven items-for a limited period of time-2 to 30 seconds. However, the relatively short duration can be lengthened by repeating or rehearsing the information.
Maintenence rehearsal refers to the practice of intentionally repeating or rehearsing information so that it remains longer in the memory.
Interference results when new information enters short-term memory and overwrites or pushes out information that is already there.
Chunking is combining separate items of information into a larger unit, or chunk, and then remembering chunks of information rather than individual items.
