Psychology refers to what as an awareness of our thinking process and an understanding of what we know?
Metacognition
What are the facts and experiences that we can consciously know and declare called?
Explicit memories
What are memories that happen without our awareness called?
Implicit memories
What are memories that come from visual stimuli called?
Iconic Memories
The ability to retain information better when our encoding is distributed over time is known as what?
Spacing Effect
What is an implicit, invisible memory, without your conscious awareness?
Priming
What do psychologists call a clear, sustained memory of an emotionally significant moment or event?
Flashbulb memory
What part of the brain facilitates the formation of our procedural memories for skills?
Basal Ganglia
What part of the brain plays a key role in forming and storing implicit memories?
Cerebellum
The process of storing memories from short-term memory to long-term memory is called what?
Memory Consolidation
A memory retrieval quirk that explains why we may have large holes in our memory of a list of recent events is called what?
Serial Position effect
What is the ability to recall your past, but not be able to form any new memories called?
Anterograde Amnesia
What is the inability to remember how, when, or where information was learned called?
Source Amnesia
What states forgetting is initially rapid, then levels off with time?
Forgetting Curve
What is it called when we replace the original memory with a slightly modified versions of the memory?
Reconsolidation
The amount remembered for deep processing depends on what two things?
Time spent learning
Making it meaningful
The network that processes and stores explicit memories includes what two parts of your brain?
Frontal Lobes and Hippocampus
What occurs when new learning disrupts recall of old information?
What is it called when you seem to be familiar with a stimulus without a clear idea of where you encountered it before?
Deja Vu
What occurs when misleading information has distorted one’s memory of an event?
Misinformation Effect
Two influences that contribute to infantile amnesia are what?
First, we index much of our explicit memory with a command of language that young children do not possess.
Second, the hippocampus is one of the last brain structures to mature, and as it does, more gets retained.
Name three effortful processing strategies that can boost our ability to form new memories
Name the three steps to the information-process model that likens human memory to computer operations
Name the three retention measures that shows that learning persists
Without conscious effort you automatically process information about what three things?
Space
Time
Frequency
