WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.000 The most common description of memory is information going through different stages: 2 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.000 Sensory Memory to Short-term or Working memory to Long-term memory. 3 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.000 Short term memory holds only a few items: 7+/2 two items. 4 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:28.000 But the items can be very large if we can chunk smaller pieces of information into larger units. 5 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.000 Maintenance rehearsal can maintain information in short-term memory indefinitely 6 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.000 or as long as we want to repeat information to ourselves.
