Memory Models
What model suggests that memory is made up of three stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory?
Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
What is the term for the type of memory that holds information for a very brief period (milliseconds) and has high capacity?
sensory memorysensory memory
What process involves transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory?

Which disorder is characterized by the inability to form new memories after a brain injury?
What is anterograde amnesia?
Which memory model emphasizes the role of working memory, with components like the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad?
Baddeley-Hitch Model
What is the type of memory that temporarily holds a small amount of information (about 7 items) for a short period of time (15-30 seconds)?
What is short-term memory?
he ability to retrieve previously learned information is called?
What is recall?
Who developed the theory of cognitive development, with stages like sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational?
Who is Jean Piaget?
What condition involves the progressive decline of memory and cognitive functions, typically seen in elderly individuals?
What is Alzheimer's disease?
The 'levels of processing' model, proposed by Craik and Lockhart, suggests that deeper processing leads to better memory retention. What type of processing is focused on meaning?
semantic processing
What is the long-term memory system responsible for storing facts and general knowledge called?
What is semantic memory?
Which process involves recognizing previously encountered information when it's presented again?
What is recognition?
This psychologist is known for his theory of multiple intelligences. Who is he?
Who is Howard Gardner?
This type of memory loss involves forgetting one's personal identity or life history, often due to trauma. What is it called?
What is dissociative amnesia?
What term refers to the process of transforming sensory information into a form that can be stored in memory?
encoding
What type of memory involves remembering how to perform tasks, like riding a bike or tying shoes?
What is procedural memory?
What is the term for the process where information is lost from memory due to decay or interference?

What disorder involves vivid recollections of traumatic events, often leading to flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety?
