ACTIVITY #2 (SUMMARIES)
Read the following passage and do as required below:
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time elapses, however, the
numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way
to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is
of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory. There is much debate about the capacity
and duration of the short-term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist
who suggested that humans can remember about seven chunks of information. A chunk is Defined as a meaningful unit of
information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the
capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one
can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being Passed on to long-term storage. The capacity of STM can
also be affected by diseases that cause neuro-degeneration, such as Alzheimer’s disease which can be a factor in a person’s
short-term and eventually long-term memory. Damage to certain sections of the brain can disable the ability to think and
recall memories stored in STM. Long-term memory (LTM) is the final stage in which data can be stored for long periods of
time. While short-term and working memory persists for only about 20 to 30 seconds, information can remain in long-term
memory indefinitely.

Long-term memory has also been called reference memory, because an individual must refer to the information in long-term
memory when performing almost any task. Short-term memory is limited to a certain number of chunks of information, while
long-term memory has a limitless store. Understanding the information also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving
information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long-term
memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The
more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be recalled. This is why multiple-choice tests are
often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.
