That's a lot of Memory
This type of memory can be categorized as information that is easily described or explained.
Explicit Memory
A biological process where synaptic connections between neurons become stronger with frequent activation or intensity
Long-Term Potentiation
This memory storage model proposes that memory consists of three systems that interact with each other
The multi-store model
This type of processing occurs when information is encoded without conscious effort
Automatic Processing
This is the general term which involves the processes and strategies used to get information into memory
Encoding
This term suggests that encoding and memory consolidation are more effective when information is spread out over time rather than crammed all at once
Spacing Effect
This term is defined by memory loss due to brain injury or disease
Amnesia
This type of memory can be categorized as information that is challenging to describe or explain.
Implicit Memory
describes how we process information for short-term use and transfer it to long-term memory
Working Memory
This type of memory briefly holds sensory information
Sensory Memory
This type of processing requires attention and conscious effort.
Effortful Processing
This is a technique that helps with encoding information into working and long-term memory
Mnemonic Devices
This term involves encoding and memory consolidation spread out over time
Distributed Practice
Memory issue defined as the inability to recall memories from early childhood
Infantile Amnesia
Episodic Memory
Acts as the control center of the working memory system. It directs attention and manages cognitive processes like problem-solving and decision-making
Central Executive
This type of memory holds information temporarily for processing
Short-Term Memory
This model of processing/encoding suggests that memory is encoded at three levels, from shallow to deep
The Levels of Processing Model
This term involves associating information with specific locations
Method of Loci
This term involves encoding and memory consolidation crammed all at once
Massed practice
Memory issue defined by the inability to form new memories
Anterograde Amnesia
An example of Implicit Memory, these types of memories involve procedures and skills needed to accomplish specified tasks
Procedural Memory
specializes in processing verbal and auditory information.
The phonological loop
This type of memory stores information for extended periods
Long-Term Memory
Type of encoding which focuses on the physical structure of information
Structural Encoding
This memory technique is designed to make processing information easier by breaking information into smaller, manageable units
Chunking
This term shows that the order in which information is presented affects encoding
The Serial Position Effect
A progressive disease that destroys memory and other mental functions
Alzheimer’s Disease
An example of Explicit Memory, these types of memories involve general knowledge and facts
Semantic Memory
handles visual and spatial information.
visuospatial sketchpad
Repeating information to keep it in short-term memory
Maintenance Rehearsal
Type of encoding which focuses on how information sounds
Phonemic Encoding
This term involves organizing information by shared meaning/type
Categories
Information presented at the beginning of a list is more likely to be remembered
Primacy effect
Memory issue defined by the loss of pre-existing memories
Retrograde Amnesia
An example of Implicit Memory, these types of memories involve remembering to perform future actions.
Prospective Memory
It smells like up dog in here
What is up dog?
Connecting new information to existing knowledge to promote long-term retention
Elaborative Rehearsal
Type of encoding which focuses on the meaning of the information
Semantic Encoding
This term is a ranked system organizing concepts, individuals, or needs from higher to lower levels of importance, power, or specificity
Hierarchy
Information presented at the end of a list is also more likely to be remembered
Recency effect
This term involves the ability to recall personal experiences with remarkable detail suggesting there might be unique biological processes for superior memory storage
Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory
