|
Cognition |
Mental activity involving storage, retrieval, and use --> Mental functioning |
|
|
Semantic Memory |
Processes ideas and concepts that are not personal experiences --> Common knowledge |
|
|
Episodic Memory |
A unique memory of a specific event (personalized) |
|
|
Ebbinghaus - 3 Ways of Retrieval |
1. Recollecting the past intentionally 2. Intentional awareness 3. Memories can show up w/o awareness |
|
|
Long Term Potentiation |
Long-lasting strengthening of synapses between nerve cells. EX rat platform |
|
|
Teachable Learning Comprehended (TLC) |
Hierarchical associative network of concepts --> Computer simulation |
|
|
3 Elements of Semantic Memory |
1. Unit (the thing) 2. Properties (conceptual) 3. Pointers (denote specific association) |
|
|
Fecture Set Theory |
Concepts stored as sets of attributes --> RT depends on stored concepts |
|
|
Spreading Activation |
Network like TLC, not as hierarchical |
|
|
Propositional Network Theory |
ACT-R --> Proposition sentences |
|
|
Neural Network Models |
Units/nodes that are like neurons, can be turned on and off --> Firing threshold |
|
|
Implicit Memory |
Unconscious memory, remembering things without thinking about them EX Claperede's pin prick |
|
|
Priming |
Do an enhanced identification of a previously seen but now degraded stimulus --> Previous experiences --> Hyperspecific |
|
|
Implicit Learning |
People can learn and can learn other tasks EX. Artificial grammar, correlated events |
|
|
Working Memory |
Part of STM that is concerned with immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing |
|
|
Sperling |
9-12 character arrays at 50m sec --> could only remember 4 characters at a time --> Tone of sounds helped people remember up to 9 characters |
|
|
Multiple Components Model |
Can be dissociated --> When the central executive tells procedural knowledge, abstract knowledge, phonological loop, and visuo spatical sketchpad what to do and when |
