memory
|
the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of info
|
|
flashbulb memory
|
clear memory fo an emotionally significant moment/event
|
|
encoding
|
processing of info into the memory system (ie. by extracting meaning)
|
|
storage
|
the retention of encoded info over time
|
|
retrieval
|
process of getting info out of memory storage
|
|
sensory memory
|
the immediate, very brief recording of sensory info into the memory system
|
|
short term memory (S-T)
|
activated memory that holds a few items at a time, briefly, such as 7 digets of a phone number while dialing, before # is stored or forgotten
|
|
long term memory (L-T)
|
the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. includes knowledge, skills and experiences
|
|
workking memory
|
newer understanding of st memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information and info retrieved from l-t memory
|
|
central executive processor
|
allows us to process images and words simultaneously
|
|
automatic processing
|
unconsci encoding of incidental info such as space, time and frequency an of well learned info such as word meaninggs
|
|
effortful processing
|
encoding that requires attn and conscious effort
|
|
rehearsal
|
conscious, repetition of info, either to maintain its consciness or to encode it for storage
|
|
Ebbinghaus
|
Ebbinghaus:memory study::Pavlov:conditioning.
-amt remembered depends on time spent learning it -overlearning=additional rehearsal |
|
next in line effect
|
ppl go in line sayingg names, poorest memories are for what was said right in front of them
|
|
spacing effect
|
tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better l-t retention than is achieved through massed study or practice
|
|
serial position effect
|
our tendency to recall best the last and first items on the list
|
|
visual encoding
|
encoding of pic imagges
|
|
acoustic encoding
|
encoding of sound-especially sound of words
|
|
semantic encoding
|
encoding of meaning, includes meaning of words
|
|
self-reference effect
|
remember best things that relate to us
|
|
imagery
|
mental pictures-pwrful aid to effortful prosc, espec when combined with semantic encoding
|
|
rosy retrospective
|
tendency to recall goodtimes and forget the bad
|
|
mnemonics
|
memory aids, esp those techniques that use vivid imagry and orgganizational devices
|
|
chunking
|
organizingg items into familiar managgeable units; often occurs automaticly
|
|
acronmyms
|
CHONPS or ROYGBIV
|
|
iconic memory
|
a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli a photogenic or picture-imagingg memory lastingg no more than a few 10ths of a second
|
|
serotonin
|
increases synaptic efficiency at transmitting signals
|
|
l-t potentiation (LTP)
|
increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory
|
|
amnesia
|
loss of memory
|
|
implicit memory
|
retention independednt of conscious recollection AKA procedural memory... require fewer connections among cortical storage areas so ppl with hippocampal damage may retain these memories
|
|
explicit memory
|
memory of facts and exeriencesthat one can consciously know and declare AKA declarative memory
|
|
hippocampus
|
neural center in limbic system and halps process explicit memories for storage
|
|
recall
|
measure of memory in which the person must retrieve info learned earlier as in on a fill in the blank test
|
|
recognition
|
measure of memory in which the person need only i.d. items previously learned as in on a mult choice test
|
|
relearning
|
a memory measure that assesses the amt oftime saved when learning material
|
|
priming
|
activation, often unconsciously of particular assosciations in memory
|
|
déjå vu
|
eeire sense that "i've experienced this before." cues from current experience subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience
|
|
mood-congruent memory
|
tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good/bad mood
|
|
7 sins of memory
|
forgetting:
absent-mindedness, transience, blocking disortion: misattribution, sugggestibility, bias intrusion: persistence |
|
pro active interference
|
disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new info ----->
|
|
retro active interfarence
|
disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old info <------
|
|
repression
|
in psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechinism that banishes from consciousness anexiety arousing thoughts, feelings and memories
|
|
misinformation effect
|
incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event
|
|
