This episode explains the Atkinson–Shiffrin model of memory, outlining sensory memory, short-term/working memory (including visuospatial and phonological systems), and long-term memory (explicit and implicit).
It covers limits of working memory (duration ~30 seconds, limited capacity), study strategies like chunking and rehearsal, the primacy/recency effects, and the power of elaborative encoding using a “memory palace.”
The lecture also discusses kinesthetic memory, implicit procedural learning, and the “overwhelming world” hypothesis for autism as an example of filter differences in sensory processing.
