correctly recalling of event details, but incorrectly recalling their source |
source confusion |
|
MTL overlaps memories using overlapping representations, due to familiarity of related concepts |
semantic associations |
|
mistakenly combining pieces form memories of different actual events |
binding error |
|
T/F: Adrenaline triggers fight or flight response and increases retention |
True |
|
T/F: amygdala elicits fear response from stimuli and signals to remember something "important" |
True |
|
information is unavailable in lone-term memory but inaccessible |
blocking |
|
T/F: proper names are easier to remember because they do not have any associations with of attributes belonging to those individuals |
False |
|
unable to produce proper names , but able to perform other cognitive functions |
anomia |
|
T/F: Left Temporal Lobe makes links to a person's characteristics and name |
True |
|
forgetting that occurs with passage of time |
transience |
|
T/F: forgetting happens whether material is meaningful or not |
False; meaningful > non meaningful |
|
How reasonable it s to generalize results from an experiments to similar experiments involving participants, places, times? |
external validity |
|
How reasonable is it to infer that the manipulation in an experiment is caused by observed change? |
internal validity |
|
T/F: learning in one session is greater for memorization rather than distributive learning |
False; distributive > one session |
|
T/F: continuing practice after "learned" memory decreases retention |
False |
|
knowledge stored associatively as a network of associated concepts |
priming |
|
Memory of retrieval initiates process of _____________ ______________ |
spreading activation |
|
T/F: neurons respond to certain stimuli differently every time |
False; when exposed to the same stimuli, certain neurons are activated |
|
something physical has changed
|
storage mechanism |
|
convention that gives meaning to the physical change |
storage code |
|
part of the brain in charge with episodic, reinstating neural activity with specific events, and distinct representations to each stimulus |
hippocampus |
|
part of brain in charge with statistical regularities of the environment, generalizes stimuli, and semantic memories |

|
T/F: Strengthening is initiated by a specific pattern of neural stimulation |
True |
|
T/F: Long-term memory is only stored in the hippocampus |
False, only short-term memory is located in hippocampus, long-term memory is is stored throughout the brain |
|
