Front 1

retroactive interference.

Back 1

(RI) is a phenomenon that occurs when newly learned information interferes with and impedes the recall of previously learned information.

Front 2

the misinformation effect.

Back 2

happens when a person's recall of episodic memories becomes less accurate because of post-event information.

Front 3

anterograde amnesia.

Back 3

is a loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact.

Front 4

proactive interference

Back 4

is when you memorize a list of information (words, names, ideas, formulas, and just about anything else that can be made into a list), and when remembering a later part of the list, an earlier memorized part of the list gets in the way.

Front 5

procedural memory

Back 5

is a part of the long-term memory that is responsible for knowing how to do things, also known as motor skills. also stores information on how to perform certain procedures, such as walking, talking and riding a bike

Front 6

short-term memory

Back 6

seems to be between 15 and 30 seconds, according to Atkinson and Shiffrin

Front 7

iconic memory

Back 7

is the visual sensory memory (SM) register pertaining to the visual domain and a fast-decaying store of visual information. It is a component of the visual memory system which also includes visual short-term memory (VSTM) and long-term memory (LTM

Front 8

implicit memory

Back 8

(also called "nondeclarative" memory) is a type of long-term memory that stands in contrast to explicit memory in that it doesn't require conscious thought. It allows you to do things by rote.

Front 9

source amnesia.

Back 9

is the inability to remember where, when or how previously learned information has been acquired, while retaining the factual knowledge. Also is associated with the malfunctioning of one's explicit memory.

Front 10

the spacing effect.

Back 10

phenomenon that when repeatedly reviewing learned information spaced out over time makes these items easier to remember. This is achieved through spaced presentation rather than repeatedly studied in a short span of time also known as massed presentation.
