Theories and Models
Random
100
brain part involved in memory
What is the prefrontal cortex?
100
short lasting and temporary memories; has two types: sensory and short-term
What are transient memories?
100
created the working memory model
Who is Alan Baddeley?
100
level of activity devoted to processing new information; created by Craik and Tulving
What is Depth of processing?
100
temporary storage for info perceived by your visual system
What is visual sensory memory?
200
Loss of ability to plan or organize
What is damage to the frontal cortex?
200
type of memory that maintains temporary information through active rehersal
What is short term memory?
200
mental workspace that holds visual and spatial images for manipulation
What is visuo-spatial sketchpad?
200
this model of memory showed that short term memory must be maintained by active rehearsal but can be displaced by new information or distractions
What is The Atkinson-Shiffin model of memory?
200
words that are heard and processed as a memory
What is echoic memory?
300
Cortex that supports the central executive; such as monitoring and manipulating stored information or actions
What is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex?
300
Type of memory created by Ulric Neisser; is critical for recognizing and processing briefly presented information (decaying visual sensory memory)
What is iconic memory?
300
Word Length Effect;holds auditory memories, by internal speech rehearsal; verbal material
What is the phonological loop?
300
Allen Paivio created this theory which stated that you store two representations of items that are in the real world.
What is Dual Coding Theory?
300
Attention; Short Term Memory; Encoding into the Long Term Memory; Amnesia memory deficits: Anterograde and Retrograde; This explains?
Why Working Memory is important?
400
This part of the cortex supports phronological rehearsal loops (specify left or right)
What is the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex?
400
brief transient sensations of what you just percieved wehen you have seen, heard, or tasted something
What is sensory memory?
400
This monitors and manipulates both the visuo-spatial sketchpad and phonological loop; most important part of working memory; Influences- task switching, setting goals and planning, and attention
What is central executive?
400
Fail to learn a new rule but instead persist in using a old rule; repetitive thinking; and shows functional fixedness
What is Perservation?
500
this side of the cortex supports encoding and retrieval of information; functions of the visuo-spatial sketchpad. (pecify which side)
What is the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex
500
when short term memory is active in being maintained and manipulated
What is working memory?
500
The span of working memory is determined by this.
What is rehearsal speed?
500
created this study to confirm how much our memory can register more than we recall; (The Sperling Task)
