Types of Memory
This type of memory is made up of general knowledge and facts.
Semantic memory
This model explains that memory is split up into 3 distinct stores of meory
Multi-Store Model of Memory
An in-depth investigation of a single individual or group
Case Study
This is the manipulated variable in an experiment
Independent Variable
This type of long-term memory allows you to remember personal experiences.
Episodic memory
Roughly how many pieces of info can we store in our short-term memory?
7 (plus/minus 2)
A study that examines the relationship between two or more variables WITHOUT MANIPULATION
Correlation
This is the measured variable in an experiment
Dependent Variable
Muscle memory and skills, like riding a bike, rely on this type of memory.
Procedural memory
If sensory information is recognized or considered important it is sent to this store of memory
Short-Term Memory
This method combines the results of multiple studies on the same topic
Meta-analysis
A description of how a variable is measured/manipulated
Operational Definition
This type of memory helps you remember to do things in the future, like taking medicine.
Prospective memory
If information is rehearsed or attended to in some way it is recorded and transferred into this store of memory
Long-Term Memory
This involves observing subjects in their natural environment without intervention.
Observation
What guideline says that participants must be given the chance to ask questions at the end of the study
Debriefing
This type of memory is retrieved unconsciously and affects behavior without awareness
Implicit memory
Temporary store holding information from the environment very briefly
Sensory Memory
Method where researchers manipulate one or more variables to observe the effect on another variable, helping to establish cause-and-effect relationships.
Experiment
Which correlation is stronger?
-0.5 or 0.2
-0.5
