Modelo Aprendizaje de Adultos
Memoria a Corto Plazo
La Memoria a Corto Plazo retiene temporalmente una cantidad limitada de información que se olvida con el tiempo. Es nuestro depósito de habilidades y conocimientos que, con práctica, pueden trasladarse a nuestra Memoria a Largo Plazo más permanente. Hay un declive relacionado con la edad en la Memoria a Corto Plazo que es más prominente en adultos mayores.
Ideas Principales
Existen dos tipos de Memoria a Corto Plazo:
- Memoria a Corto Plazo Verbal: almacena información verbal.
- Memoria a Corto Plazo Visuoespacial: almacena información sobre nuestras percepciones de relaciones espaciales. Este tipo de Memoria a Corto Plazo disminuye a lo largo de la vida. Cuando las tareas están situadas dentro de contextos familiares, los aprendices pueden ser más capaces de recordar desde la Memoria a Corto Plazo. La conciencia metacognitiva también ayuda a los aprendices a contrarrestar el declive relacionado con la edad en la capacidad de Memoria a Corto Plazo.
La Memoria a Corto Plazo es diferente de la Memoria de Trabajo, porque en la Memoria a Corto Plazo la información no se manipula, como ocurre en la Memoria de Trabajo.
