Characteristics of mental processes: thinking, memory, attention and imagination. Thinking and Intelligence. /part 4/
Random reproduction of a feeling is almost impossible; - figurative - is the memorization of the preservation and reproduction of images of objects of reality, which have directly influenced the sensory organs of man. This memory is: visual, tactile, cognitive, taste. This memory is most prominent in children and adolescents. In the elderly, the leading memory is, as a rule, verbal-logical. Verbal-logical - is the storage and reproduction of the symbolic expression of certain images. The verbal is formed in the process of social development of man on the basis of the figurative, as its distinctive feature is the accuracy of the reproduction.
Another peculiarity is its great dependence on the will of the personality. The logical manifestation is above all the memorization of the meaning of the text, not its original content. This memory is most closely related to thinking; - according to the length of the information storage, its role in the activity of the personality is: - instantaneous - its specificity is expressed by the fact that the trace is involved after a few seconds and if the information is not brought into another form of storage, it is irretrievably lost. The information stored in this memory is not voluntary. This memory is the first stage of processing the input from outside information, and it is formed passively; - short-term - part of the instant memory information falls into the short-term. This is still called working, ie. mental work is currently taking place; - intermediate - the information is transferred here after a certain transcoding of the short-term memory.
This is still called a buffer. It stores the information until it is possible to translate it for long-term storage; - long-term - the information accumulated during the day in the intermediate memory is stored in the long-term memory after a certain transformation in the short-term memory; - according to the nature of the goals of the activity of the personality, they are subdivided into: - unlicensed - by the one in which the person has not set himself the objective of putting, preserving and reproducing certain information and has not manifested certain volitional efforts; - arbitrary - is the one that carries the character of a specially organized, purposeful and managed willful activity of memorizing, storing and reproducing the information necessary for the activity and communication of the personality. A special expression of non-arbitrary and arbitrary memory is the so-called. implicit and explicit memory. of course, considering the issue of the types of memory, it should also be noted that people personally distinguish between the stupor of their memory, the degree of their development. Generally expressed as such qualities, they can indicate - volume, velocity / speed, accuracy, serviceability. These qualities can be developed and perfected through appropriate mnemic means and exercises.
