Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
described short-term memory. Forgot Long-Term: I went to a lab for blood tests. Another patient greeted me and began talking. She looked familiar but I could not place her. She
works at my primary physicians office and I had just seen her several days earlier. Sternberg (2009) explains the traditional model of memory suggests that information stays in the short-term
memory store for about 30 seconds unless it is rehearsed. This suggests that if I had rehearsed the definition of short-term memory, I would not have had to review it.
I have another reason. I was not paying that close attention to the text because I thought I knew what short-term memory is and my understanding was different than
Sternbergs. My explanation is related to an alternative model that involves working memory and specifically the central executive which coordinates ones attention and guides responses (Sternberg, 2009). My attention was
distracted because when I read the term short-term memory, I immediately began thinking of the definition I thought I knew. Sternberg (2009) states that when we talk about memory, we
are usually talking about long-term memory. This can store huge amounts of information that people can recall, usually easily. The traditional model might decide I have a memory deficit or
a memory lapse. The alternative method is more accurate. I saw this woman out of context. The only place I had ever seen and interacted with her was at the
doctors office. Tulving called this episodic memory, i.e., the memory that stores events and incidents the person has personally experienced (Sternberg, 2009). However, my inability to recall her name when
we met at the lab has to do with semantic memory (Sternberg, 2009). Episodic and semantic memory are part of the working memory model. Edin et al. found that how
