|
memory |
encoding - get info in brain storage - store it retrieval - get info out |
|
|
encoding - sensory memory |
iconic memory - a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli echoic memory - auditory stimuli |
|
|
working memory |
short term memory, holds info not just to rehearse it, but to process it integrates info from long-term memory with new info coming in from sensory memory |
|
|
storage |
rehearsal - spacing over time encode meaning mnemonics - chunking & hierarchies (organizing into catagories) |
|
|
chunking |
organizing items into familiar , manageable units also making acronyms EX: memory parts = ESR - encoding, storage, retrival |
|
|
levels of processing |
semantic encoding - meaning & deep processing acoustic encoding - sound & shallow processing Visual encoding - images & most shallow |
|
|
explicit memory |
memory of facts, and personal experiences ~hippocampus helps process explicit memories for storage hippocampus and frontal lobes |
|
|
hippocampus |
neural center in limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage |
|
|
implicit memory |
~retention without conscious recollection ~motor and cognitive skills ~conditioned responses cerebellum and basal ganglia |
|
|
retrieval and use of explicit memory |
is directed by the frontal lobes |
|
|
encoding and storage of explicit memory |
is facilitated by the hippocampus |
|
|
the cerebellum |
for implicit memories forms and stores our conditioned responses |
|
|
basal ganglia |
controls movement ---> forms and stores procedural memory and motor skills |
|
|
flashbulb memoreis |
refer to emotionally intense events that become "burned in" as a vivid-seeming memory |
|
|
context effects |
scuba divers recall more words underwater if they learned those words underwater
while they recall more words on land if they learned those words on land |
|
|
amnesia types |
~infantile ~anterograde - inability to create new memories ~retrogrades - inability to retrieve past memories |
|
|
forgetting as interence |
learning some items may disrupt retrieval of other information |
|
|
proactive interference |
disruptive effect of prior learning on recall of new info trying to recall new info |
|
|
retroactive interference |
disruptive effect of NEW learning on recall of old info trying to recall old info |
