Moral Development
This psychologist developed the three levels of moral development.
Lawrence Kohlberg
Memory begins with this process of getting information into the system.
encoding
This memory system has a limited capacity and duration and is often called working memory.
short-term memory;haha stop overthinking
This memory system has virtually unlimited capacity and duration.
long-term memory
Memory is the system that encodes, stores, and does this with information.
retrieval
At this level, morality is judged primarily on consequences and punishment.
preconventional level
This type of sensory memory involves a brief visual image.
iconic memory
According to Miller, short-term memory can hold approximately this many units of information.
7 ± 2 items
Memory for skills such as riding a bike is called this.
procedural memory
According to Atkinson and Shiffrin, this memory system comes after sensory memory.
short-term memory
At this level, people base moral decisions on societal rules and values.
conventional level
This researcher demonstrated iconic memory using briefly presented letters.
Sperling
Without rehearsal, information in short-term memory typically lasts this long.
about 20-30 seconds
Procedural and declarative memory are both types of this memory system.
long-term memory
The "mental workspace" that processes conscious experience is known as this.
working memory
This highest level of moral reasoning involves abstract principles and deep thinking.
postconventional level
This type of sensory memory stores brief auditory information.
echoic memory
Grouping familiar stimuli into a single unit to increase memory capacity is called this.
chunking
Memory for facts, meanings, and general knowledge is called this.
semantic memory
The four parts of working memory include the central executive, phonological loop, visual sketchpad, and this component.
episodic buffer
According to Kohlberg, most people do not reach this level of moral development.
postconventional level
Sensory memory typically lasts for only this amount of time.
fractions of a second
Repeating information to keep it active in short-term memory is called this type of rehearsal.
maintenance rehearsal
Memory for personal experiences and events is called this.
episodic memory
The component of working memory responsible for acoustic encoding is called this.
phonological loop
