Memory Storage Sensory Information Storage This is the first system of memory in which the information is brought to us by our senses and the information is retained as long as it is exposed to our senses. As soon as the sense loses contact with the information, it is vanished from the memory. For example, we see many faces at a metro station and they instantly fade from our memory when we look away. This type of memory is extremely volatile and much gets "lost" in less than a second unless we pay attention to it. Technically speaking, the information received was never "found" or "retrieved" in the first place because sensory input is not stored unless specified. Learn more about that in the next section. Instructions The subject is seated in front of the drum and the following instructions are imparted to him. This is a learning experiment and you will be shown a list of meaningful words and later on, a list of nonsense syllable. You will learn by heart with full concentration. First the list of meaningful words will be shown to you at 2 seconds intervals through the window memory drum. After the list has been shown once, you will be required to write the list in the same order. If there are spelling mistakes or the orders of the words are not maintained, again the list will be shown to you. After the list is over you will again reproduce the list. The experiment will continue till you are able to reproduce the list of 3 times in the same order consecutively. After your successful reproduction you will be given a 30 minutes rest pause. After the pause, the experiment will be repeated with the list of nonsense syllables. In the end you will record your subjective report regarding the experiment. Procedure After the instructions, when the subject was completely relaxed, she was shown a list of meaningful words at 2 seconds intervals through the window of memory drum. when the list has been presented once, she was given a paper for reproduction of the list. As there were mistakes in her reproduction, therefore, the experiment was repeated. In the second Trial , she committed two mistakes, but in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th trial, she reproduced the list successfully. After the rest pause of 30 minutes, the experiment was carried out with non-sense syllable on the same pattern. Presentation of the list was continued until the criterion of complete mastery was reached. At the end of the experiment, Tables were prepared for comparative study. Shehnaz.
