25 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
|
conscious recollections of events or facts experienced or learned in the past
|
declarative memory
|
|
|
occurs when a past experience influences behavior, but we arent aware of it
|
implicit memory (non-declarative memory)
|
|
|
specific events that have happened to the person
|
episodic memory
|
|
|
knowledge of the world; no specific memory
|
semantic memory
|
|
|
degeneration of the brain that eventually results in severe memory deficits
|
alzheimer's disease
|
|
|
when the initial presentation of a stimulus affects the persons response to the same stimulus when it is presented later
|
repetition priming
|
|
|
participants are more liekly to rate statements they may have read before as being true, simply because they had been exposed to them before
|
propaganda effect
|
|
|
our memory for how to carry out highly practiced skills, included under implicit memory
ex: riding a bike |
procedural memory
|
|
|
aquiring information and transforming it into memory
|
encoding
|
|
|
the process of recovering previously encoded information
|
retrieval
|
|
|
rehearsal that involves repetition w/o any consideration of meaning or making connections to other information
|
maintenance rehearsal
|
|
|
you think about the meaning of an item or make connections between the item and something you know
|
elaborative rehearsal
|
|
|
the idea that memory depends on how info is encoded, with better memory being achieved when processing is deep than when it's shallow.
|
levels of processing theory
|
|
|
distinguising between shallow and deep processing - memory depends on this
|
depth of processing
|
|
|
involves little attention to meaning
|
shallow processing
|
|
|
close attention, focusing on an item's meaning and relating it to something else
|
deep processing
|
|
|
memory is better if you are asked to relate a word to yourself
|
self reference effect
|
|
|
cues that help a person remember info stored in memory
|
retrieval cues
|
|
|
the increased firing that occurs in a postsynaptic neuron due to prior activity at the synapse
|
long-term potentiation (LTP)
|
|
|
the strengthening of neural info
|
memory consolidation
|
|
|
period of time needed for strengthening to occur
|
consolidation period
|
|
|
an area in the temporal lobe that consists of the hippocampus and a number of surrounding structures. damage to it causes problems in forming new long-term memories
|
medial temporal lobe (MTL)
|
|
|
memory persormance is enhanced if the type of encoding that occurs during aquisition matches the type of retrieval that occurs during the memory test
|
transfer-appropriate processing
|
|
|
we learn information together with it's context
|
encoding specificity
|
|
|
memory is best if a person is in the same state for encoding and retrieval
|
state-dependent learning
|
