Learning
A type of conditioning that is reflexive in nature
Classical conditioning
Memory system that is capacity limited, defined as "modular system for temporary storage and manipulation of information"
Working memory
The smallest meaningful unit of sound - a mental representation of what we hear
Phoneme
"An organized cluster of knowledge about an object or an event"
Schema
Schematic representation
Concepts linked to related concepts - activation spreads from one concept to another.
Semantic networks.
A type of conditioning which is governed by consequences.
Operant conditioning
Theory of forgetting which suggests that memories were never actually encoded in the first place - forgetting is "pseudo-forgetting"
Ineffective encoding
The smallest unit of language - combines to form words
Morpheme
A previously neutral stimulus that acquired the ability to evoke a response
Conditioned stimulus
"Unusually vivid and detailed recollections of circumstances in which one learned about momentous public events”
Flashbulb memories
A learned reaction to a previously neutral stimulus
Conditioned response
Part of working memory system responsible for recitation of information
Phonological loop
The smallest unit of sound - what we actually hear
Allophone
Comprised of the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad, and the episodic buffer.
Working memory
Part of working memory system that acts as a "buffer" between short term and long term memory
Episodic buffer
Weakening or disappeareance of a learned response
We begin to recognize words in roughly this many milliseconds
About 200-350ms.
Part of working memory system that holds and manipulates visual imagery
Visuospatial sketchpad
A type of processing and encoding that recognizes the meaning of verbal input
Semantic encoding
In operant conditioning, this type of reinforcer satisfies biological needs, and thus inherently reinforcers behavior
Primary reinforcer
Theory of forgetting which suggests that similar items interfere in the retrieval of other items in memory
Interference theory
We begin to recognize sounds in roughly this many milliseconds
120ms.
A type of processing and encoding that recognizes how a word sounds
Phonemic encoding
In levels of processing theory, intermediate processing refers to which type of encoding
Phonemic
