The World is a Stage
It All Depends
How Do You Do The Things You Do?
Whaaat?
Whatever!
100
Holds full sensory information for up to 2 seconds.
What is Sensory Memory?
100
Mental process responsible for encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.
What is memory?
100
Stimuli as pictures.
What is visual?
100
Gradually losing information from memory when it is not rehearsed,elaborated or retrieved.
What is Decay?
100
Putting information into a form that the memory can use.
What is Encoding?
200
Has an unlimited capacity.
What is Long Term Memory?
200
Matching mood when you encode and retrieve information helps.
What is State Dependence?
200
Information as sequences of sound.
What is acoustic?
200
Something that prevents rehearsal or elaboration of information.
What is Interference?
200
Uses retrieval cues to help you find information.
What is Recognition?
300
How long information is held in long term memory.
What is relatively permanent?
300
Adding meaning to information to organize it or make it relevant, works better than rehearsal.
What is elaboration?
300
Grouping pieces of unrelated information to increase the amount of information that can be held in STM.
What is Chunking
300
Says it is easier to remember the first 2 or 3 words in a list.
What is the Primacy Effect?
300
Retention of information in memory.
What is Storage?
400
Stage that can hold 5-9 unites of information at one time.
What is Short Term Memory
400
Theory that states that the best type of processing inot LTM is semantic.
What is Depth of Processing Theory?
400
Methods for improving your memory such as acrostics and acronyms.
What is Mnemonics?
400
Implicit memory or knowing how to do something.
What is Procedural memory?
400
Searching for and finding information from memory without much help
What is Recall?
500
How long unrehearsed information stays in Short Term Memory.
What is 18 seconds?
500
The ability to retrieve a memory more easily in the same environment in which it was learned.
What is Context Dependence?
500
Memory that can be incorrect, uses generalized knowledge to fill in gaps in the information you encoded and retrieved.
What is Constructive memory?
500
Remembering the words at the end of a list.
What is Recency Effect?
500
Process of getting stored information through recall or recognition.
What is Retrieval?
