|
The persistence of learning overtime and through storage and retrieval of information |
Memory |
|
|
Retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but was learned at an earlier time |
Recall |
|
|
Identify items previously learned |
Recognition |
|
|
Information gets into our brains in a way that allows it to be stored |
Encoding |
|
|
Info was held in a way that allows it to later be retrieved |
Storage |
|
|
Reactivating and recalling information producing it in a form similar to how it was encoded |
Retrieval |
|
|
Facts and experiences that we can consciously know and recall |
Explicit or declarative memories |
|
|
Memories we are not fully aware of and do not declare or talk about them |
Implicit memories |
|
|
Explicit memories are done through what kind of processing? |
Effortful |
|
|
implicit memories are done through what kind of processing? |
AutoMatic |
|
|
Immediate, very brief recording of sensory information before it is processed into short term or long term memory |
SensoryMemory |
|
|
The cut off for how long you can hold info and short-term memory is |
12 seconds according to Peterson and Peterson |
|
|
What are three effortful processing strategies |
Chunking, mnemonic devices, deep processing |
|
|
Grouping organizing data into manageable units |
Chunking |
|
|
Meaning of the word in understanding what it means, semantic processing |
Deep Processing |
|
|
Will develop better retention and recall especially in the long run use the same amount of study time spread out over many shorter sessions |
Spacing effect |
|
|
Who determined that parts of each memory can be distributed throughout the brain |
Lashley |
|
|
Storage of explicit memories and encoding is facilitated by the |
Hippocampus |
|
|
In this, signals are sent across the synapse more efficiently |
Long term potentiation |
|
|
This triggers a threat of association that bring us to a concept. One idea triggers another |
Priming |
|
|
The tendency to selectively recall details that are consistent with one's current mood |
Mood congruent memory |
|
|
You are most likely to recall the first items and last items in a list this is the |
Serial position effect |
|
|
inability to form new long-term declarative memories |
Anterograde amnesia |
|
|
Disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new information |
Proactive interference |
|
|
Loftus concluded that by trying to help someone recall memory you may |
Implant false memories |
