|
Nonsense Syllables
|
Meaningless consonant-vowel-consonant items meant to eliminate learning factor in participants.
|
|
|
Total Time Hypothesis
|
Proposal, amount learnt function of amount spent learning.
|
|
|
Distributed Practice
|
Breaking practice into a number of sessions - contrasting massed practice.
|
|
|
Expanding Retrieval
|
Learning schedule: Items tested after short delay, with pretest delay gradually increasing across subsequent trials.
|
|
|
Repetition Only Needed Theory
|
Debunked: Common objects we come across daily are still not ingrained in our memory (i.e., coins).
|
|
|
Change Blindness
|
Failure to detect even quite dramatic changes in scene, given brief delay.
|
|
|
Classical Conditioning
|
Neutral stimulus paired with neutral target, participant learns to associate the two over time.
|
|
|
Latent Inhibition
|
Classical Conditioning: Multiple prior presentations of a neutral stimulus will interfere with its involvement in subsequent conditioning.
|
|
|
Mere Exposure Effect
|
A tendency for a neutral stimulus to acquire positive value with repeated exposure.
|
|
|
Stem Completion
|
A task whereby repetition of a word is tested by presenting the first few letters.

|
|
Fragmentation Completion
|
Memory test: Letters from a word are alternately deleted while participant is asked to complete it.

Procedural Learning
|
Learning through experience, the amount of information is not quantifiable yet we take in more than we know.

|
Immersion Method
|
Foreign language teaching technique whereby the learner is subjected to an environment which only speaks said language.

|
Cell Assembly
|
Hebb (1949): Physiological process of LTM learning, requiring establishing links between cells.
|
|
|
Long-term Potentiation (LTP)
|
A process whereby synaptic transmission becomes more effective following a cell's recent activation.
|
|
|
Consolidation
|
Time-dependent process by which a new trace is ingrained into memory.
|
|
|
Amygdala
|
Close to the Hippocampus, involved in emotional processing.
|

|
Hippocampus
|
Brain structure in the medial temporal lobe that is important for LTM formation.
