  2. Sensory memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_memory

    The other two types of SM that have been most extensively studied are echoic memory, and haptic memory; however, it is reasonable to assume that each physiological sense has a corresponding memory store. For example, children have been shown to remember specific "sweet" tastes during incidental learning trials but the nature of this gustatory ...

  3. Haptic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_memory

    Haptic memory is the form of sensory memory specific to touch stimuli. Haptic memory is used regularly when assessing the necessary forces for gripping and interacting with familiar objects. [ 1 ] It may also influence one's interactions with novel objects of an apparently similar size and density.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    The sensory memory is responsible for holding onto information that the mind receives through the senses such as haptic, auditory and visual information. For example, if someone were to hear a bird chirp, they know that it is a bird because that information is held in the brief sensory memory.

  5. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    Sensory memory holds information, derived from the senses, less than one second after an item is perceived. The ability to look at an item and remember what it looked like with just a split second of observation, or memorization, is an example of sensory memory. It is out of cognitive control and is an automatic response.

  6. Echoic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoic_memory

    A short-term memory model proposed by Nelson Cowan attempts to address this problem by describing a verbal sensory memory input and storage in more detail. It suggests a pre-attentive sensory storage system that can hold a large amount of accurate information over a short period of time and consists of an initial phase input of 200-400ms and a ...

    Model of the Memory Process. Human memory is the process in which information and material is encoded, stored and retrieved in the brain. [1] Memory is a property of the central nervous system, with three different classifications: short-term, long-term and sensory memory. [2]

  8. Flashback (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_(psychology)

    Sensory memory is made up of a brief storage of information within a specific medium (the line you see after waving a sparkler in your field of vision is created by sensory memory). [4] Short term memory is made up of the information currently in use to complete the task at hand. [4] Long term memory is composed of the systems used to store ...

    Sensory organs are organs that sense and transduce stimuli. Humans have various sensory organs (i.e. eyes, ears, skin, nose, and mouth) that correspond to a respective visual system (sense of vision), auditory system (sense of hearing), somatosensory system (sense of touch), olfactory system (sense of smell), and gustatory system (sense of taste).
