|
a constructive process through which we actively organize and shape information as it is being processed, stored and retreived |
memory |
|
|
a memory model which suggests that memory is formed through encoding, storage, and retreival |
encoding,storage,and retreival (ESR) model |
|
|
process which mental representation is formed into a neural code in memory |
Encoding(getting info in) |
|
|
retention of encoded information over time |
Storage(retaining info for future use) |
|
|
the recovery of information from memory storage |
Retreival(recovering info) |
|
|
memory model which suggests that memory storage requires passage of information throguh three stages(sensory,short term, and long term) |
three-stage memory model |
|
|
the initial memory stage which holds sensory information. has large capacity but duration is only a few seconds. |
Sensory Memory |
|
|
visual memory, stays in sensory memory for about 1/2 second before it fades away |
Ionic memory |
|
|
Who did a study on ionic memory and how people remembered pictures he showed for only about 1/20 a second? |
George Sperling |
|
|
Process of grouping seperate peices of info into a single unit on basis of similarity or other organizing principle |
Chunking |
|
|
Temporarily stores and processes sensory stimuli. if info is important, it goes to long-term memory, otherwise, info decays and is lost. |
Short Term Memory |
|
|
The memory-improvement technique of repeating information over and over to maintain it in short term memory |
Maintnence Rehearsal |
|
|
and alternate term for short-term memory which emphasises the active processing of information |
working memory |
|
|
the third stage of memory which stores information for long periods of time. the capicity is limitless |
Long term memory |
|
|
intentional learning or concious knowledge |
Explicit/Declaritive sematic and episodic memory |
|
|
memory for general knowledge, like rules,events, facts, and specific info like a mental encyclopedia |
Sematic Memory |
|
|
Like a diary, records events in our lives |
Episodic memory |
|
|
unintentional learning or unconscious knowlege |
Implicit/Nondeclaritive memory |
|
|
process in which prior exposure to stimulus facilitates or inhibits the process of new info |
priming |
|
|
prior exposure to a stimulus |
prime |
|
|
ways we can improve memory |
organization,rehearsal, and retreival |
|
|
helps access memory through strategy or device |
mnemonic |
|
|
needed to successfully encode info for LTM means arranging a numb |
organization |
