Cognitive Psych Exam 3

Front 1

Encoding

Back 1

transferring info into memory

Front 2

Shallow vs deep processing

Back 2

Bad vs good memory (little to lot of attention)

Front 3

Self-reference effect

Back 3

Linking things to ourselves to remember better

Front 4

Which is better, testing or re-reading for memory?

Back 4

Re-reading better short term, testing better long term

Front 5

Retrieval

Back 5

Transferring from LTm into working memory

Front 6

Long term Potentiation

Back 6

Neurons fire better after firing many times

Front 7

Where is memory in the brain?

Back 7

Medial Temporal Lobe, Hippocampus where new LTMs are formed, Amygdala where emotional memories are stored

Front 8

Graded Amnesia

Back 8

Memory of recent events more fragile than remote events

Front 9

Consolidation

Back 9

New memories go from fragile to more permanent state

Front 10

Synaptic Consolidation

Back 10

At the synapes

Front 11

System Consolidation

Back 11

Gradual re-wiring of brain circuts

Front 12

Standard Model of Consolidation

Back 12

Retrieval depends on hippocampus during consolidation, after consolidation, the hippocampus is no longer needed

Front 13

Re-activation

Back 13

Hippocampus replays neural activity associated with a memory

Front 14

Multiple Trace Hypothesis

Back 14

Questions assumption that hippocampus is only important at the beginning of consolidation

Front 15

Self-image hypothesis

Back 15

Memory is better as someone forms their identity

Front 16

Repeated Recall

Back 16

Initial Memory compared to later memory (can seem vivid, when in reality, is lacking.

Front 17

Autobiographical Memory

Back 17

Events in a person's past, involves mental time travel, is multi-demensional (involves spatial, emotional and sensory)

Front 18

Reminiscent Bump

Back 18

Between 10 and 30 years, and recent events (Self-image hypothesis, Cognitive Hypothesis, Cultural Life Script Hypothesis)

Front 19

Cognitive Hypothesis (rem. bump)

Back 19

Encoding is better in periods of change rather than stability

Front 20

Cultural Life Script Hypothesis

Back 20

An understanding of culturally expected events, which make personal events easier to recall when they fit to it.

Front 21

Pollyana Principle

Back 21

Tendency to remember more pleasant memories than unpleasant ones. Emotion can improve memory

Front 22

Flashbulb Memories

Back 22

Memory around shocking events. Emotional and detailed

Front 23

Constructive Nature Of Memory

Back 23

What happens plus a persons knowledge experiences and expectations

Front 24

Source Monitoring

Back 24

Determining the source if our memories

Front 25

Pragmatic Influences

Back 25

Going beyond available info in a reading to make a conclusion

Front 26

Schema

Back 26

Knowledge of what is involved in a particular experience

Front 27

Script

Back 27

Conception of sequence of actions that occur during a particular sequence

Front 28

Misinformation Effect

Back 28

Misleading info presented after an event can change memories

Front 29

Concept

Back 29

mental representation of cognitive functions

Front 30

Prototype Approach

Back 30

Typical example of whole category

Front 31

Family Resemblance

Back 31

Resemble each other in a variety of ways

Front 32

Goal Categories

Back 32

Categories based on precise objectives

Front 33

Exemplar Approach

Back 33

Not one but many examples

Front 34

Semantic Networks

Back 34

Concepts arranged the way they are in the mind

Front 35

Back Propagation

Back 35

Error messages sent to adjust the appropriate activation of neurons

Front 36

Hierachical---- Basic Level

Back 36

Level where most info is gained and least lost by not being more specific

Front 37

Visuals play a role in Autobiographical memory

Back 37

thats really it
