Exercise 2. Translate the following sentences into Russian paying attention to your active vocabulary.
1.Ability to recall is affected by encoding, retention and retrieving processes. More meaningful processing at encoding seems to lead to longer, more reliable memo ries.
2.A range of disorders, including schizophrenia, ob sessive compulsive disorder and attention deficit, in volve failures in the control of attention.
3.Attempts to suppress unpleasant thoughts and im ages often backfire.
4.Short term memory (STM) has a limited capacity.

MEMORY
Memory is the process of encoding, storing, and re trieving information that is learned. The process of memory overlaps the processes of perception (perceiv ing stimuli that are learned), learning (acquiring asso ciations among stimuli), and consciousness (being aware of certain information at any point in time).
The first step in memory is encoding, the process of placing information into the memory system. Variables
that influence encoding include attention, motivation, and meaningfulness of information. Once the informa tion has been encoded, it needs to be stored. Storage is the second step in memory, the process of retaining in formation in the memory system for some time. Cur rently it is generally believed that three separate memory stores exist: sensory, short term, and long term memory.
The third step is retrieval, the process of pulling infor mation out of the memory system. Methods used to test retrieval include recognition, recall, and savings.
Currently, memory theories are dominated by the information processing theory of memory, which relies on computer models to describe the flow of information through the memory system. One of the most popular theories of memory is the separate storage model. Sen sory memory refers to the memory store that sensory information first enters in the memory system. The in formation in the sensory memory is a fairly accurate rep resentation of the environmental stimulus. Sensory memory has a large capacity, but maintains information for a very brief time, less than one second. Most studies have focused on iconic (visual) memory and echoic (au ditory) memory. Information is placed into short term memory when an individual attends to a stimulus. This is where we hold the information we are aware of at any one point in time. The capacity of short term memory is about seven chunks (pieces) of information. The dura tion is less than 30 seconds before the information is lost, unless we use maintenance rehearsal and repeat the in formation over and over.
Through elaborative rehearsal we think about the meaning of the information and try to form associations with already learned memories. Elaborative rehearsal moves information into long term memory. The capac ity of long term memory appears unlimited. One can dis tinguish three kinds of long term memory. Procedural memory is at the base of this division. This type of memory permits retention of stimulus response connec
tions, response chains, and general adaptive responses to environmental events. Semantic memory refers to in ternal representations of environmental events that are not perceptually present. In effect, this type of memory allows for mental representations of events. Episodic memory refers to the development and retention of events experienced personally and includes temporal and spa tial information related to those events.
One influence of the analogy between human memory and that of an electronic computer has been an increas ing emphasis on the retrieval stage as important for a complete understanding of memory. The fact that infor mation cannot always be retrieved is illustrated by the familiar tip of the tongue phenomenon. The success of memory retrieval depends critically on the specificity of cues that are available on the retention test. Consider two common experimental situations, in both of which a list of words is first presented for memorization. In rec ognition memory, subjects are then presented with test words and asked to indicate which ones were in the list. In free recall, subjects are simply asked to remember as many words from the list as they can. Recognition per formance is typically much better than free recall per formance, because the words themselves are available as retrieval cues. But free recall subjects apparently con struct their own retrieval cues, as is illustrated by the phenomenon called clustering. Semantically related words tend to be recalled together (in clusters), even when they were not presented together in the list.
A central problem in the study of memory is the analysis of the causes of forgetting. Early psychologists assumed that forgetting was due to time dependent de cay. Although some modern investigators attribute loss of short term memory to decay – a matter of consider able debate – it is now generally accepted that the most important cause of forgetting in long term memory is interference from other, similar material. The effects of information stored prior to the encoding of the to be
remembered material are called proactive interference; those caused by information stored afterward are called retroactive interference. Experimental findings suggest that proactive interference takes place primarily at the retrieval stage and is partly due to confusion regarding which memory traces are more recent. Retroactive in terference, by contrast, appears to involve both storage and retrieval. The effect on storage seems akin to par tial destruction of the memory trace during the learn ing of the interfering material. The degree of effort ex pended during encoding may also interfere with concur rent cognitive processing. Effortful performances (im agery, rehearsal, organization, mnemonic techniques) often interfere with concurrent cognitive processing, whereas automatic performances do not. Examples of automatic performances include encoding of spatial lo cation, time, frequency of occurrence, and word mean ing. Mnemonic devices are tools that are applied selec tively to information that one especially wants to be able to recall. The various methods stress elaboration of the to be remembered information and transformations of the form in which it is encoded, with the goal of aiding later retrieval of the information from memory. Most mnemonic devices rely on one or more of the following:
(1) relationships with previously learned material, (2) rhymes, and (3) visual imagery.

What Does Memory Capacity Mean?
Memory capacity is the amount of memory that can be used for an electronic device such as a computer, laptop, smartphone or other smart device. Every hardware device or computer has a minimum and maximum amount of memory. The performance of a device and the efficiency of its input/output operations is dependent on memory capacity.
Techopedia Explains Memory Capacity
The memory capacity of a device is commonly expressed in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes. A device’s memory capacity can be obtained from either the operating system or motherboard. In most cases, the architecture of the motherboard of the device influences the memory capacity of the machine. Certain third-party tools such as system-scanning applications can confirm the memory capacity of the device.
The memory capacity of a device depends on many factors such as the number of available address registers in the CPU. In the case of 32-bit CPUs, they can only address a memory capacity of up to 4 GB. As for a 64-bit computer, the memory capacity is unlimited. Operating systems also influence memory capacity. The memory capacity of a device is dependent on the main memory storage, random access memory and any external memory enhancement possible. Primary memory is often volatile while secondary memory is non-volatile.
Which of the listed below statements are true/false. Specify your answer using the text:
1) Computer programs only instruct hardware how to handle data storage.
2) System software controls internal computer activities.
3) System software is very dependable on the type of application software being used.
4) The information about memory capacity, the model of the processor and disk drives are unavailable for system software.
5) The driver is a special device usually used by car drivers for Floppy-disk driving.
6) It is very reasonable to ask for a driver when you buy a new piece of hardware.
7) Software developers tend to make their products very small and with poor interface to save computer resources.
Communication software is in great demand now because of the new advances in communication technologies.
9) Application software is merely a general-purpose instrument.
10) Web-browsers is the class of software for electronic communication through the network.
