In the Short Term
From the Modal Model of Memory, this is the stage of memory that holds information for 15-20 seconds and requires active rehearsal
What is Short-Term Memory?
When participants imagined the inner versus outer corners of block letters, Brooks (1968) found that responding to the task by pointing to printed words (Yes, No) interfered with visualization performance, whereas responding by speaking words ("yes", "no") did not interfere with visualization. This evidence suggested a double dissociation between these two types of processing.
What are visual and verbal processing?
What is explicit memory?
The stage of long-term memory where we recall information.
What is retrieval?
The serial position curve experiment shows both primacy and recency effects, which are thought to be supported by these two types of memory, respectively.
What are long-term memory and working memory?
When you remember how to tie your shoes, you are using this type of memory.
What is implicit memory?
According to this theory of encoding, we are better at remembering words when we think of the meaning of the word than the sound of the word.
What is the visuospatial buffer/sketchpad?
What are explicit and implicit memory?
When you remember the name of your 5th grade teacher, you are using this type of memory.
What is explicit /semantic memory?
When we think deeply about the meaning of new information, by connecting it to things we already know, we are using this encoding strategy
What is elaborative rehearsal?
What is the phonological similarity effect?
Neural evidence shows that we use different parts of our brain to recall personal experiences versus facts about the world, suggesting a double dissociation between these two type of memory.
What are episodic and semantic memory?
When you remember learning about Harriet Tubman in 5th grade, you are using this type of memroy.
What is explicit - episodic memory?
According to this theory, the more times we practice retrieving information, the better we will retain it in long-term memory
What is the Testing Effect?
Psychologists use this technique to prevent people from storing words in their phonological loop, for example by having people repeat "the, the, the" while viewing a word list.
What is articulatory suppression?
We watched a video about an amnesic patient E.P. who was able to recall a list of animals immediately after hearing them but could not remember the animals when tested an hour later, suggesting a double dissociation between these two types of memory.
What are working memory and long-term memory?
When you experience priming, such as with the word fragment completion task, you are using this type of memory.
What is implicit memory?
This phenomenon is illustrated by students who believe that studying information in a blocked manner is more effective than studying information in an interleaved manner, even though the interleaved study strategy is more effective.
What is the illusion of understanding?
