CHAPTER 6
Memory that includes contextual details like time and place.
What is EPISODIC MEMORY?
A type of rehearsal that does not tend to result in encoding.
What is ROTE/MAINTENANCE REHEARSAL?
Enhanced recall of autobiographical memories of events that are associated with adolescence or young adulthood.
What is the REMINISCENCE BUMP?
An approach to categorization that requires that members meet set criteria of a category.
What is the DEFINITIONAL APPROACH?
Representation of concepts in Collins and Quillian's semantic network model are referred to as _____________.
What are NODES?
A long term memory that provides a sense of identity and may consist of both episodic and semantic memories.
What is an AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY?
An effect in which retrieval practice improves recall performance.
What is the TESTING EFFECT?
What is a SCHEMA?
A category such as ANIMAL that is at the top of Rosch's Hierarchy.
What is a SUPERORDINATE CATEGORY?
Better recall of items at the start and end of a sequence relative to items in the middle.
What is a the SERIAL POSITION CURVE?
What is CONSTRUCTIVE EPISODIC SIMULATION HYPOTHESIS?
The process of making a memory resistant to disruption.
What is CONSOLIDATION?
Repeated presentation of a statement can result in a biased judgement that the statement is true.
What is the ILLUSORY TRUTH EFFECT.
______________ temporarily increases the accessibility of a concept from memory.
What is SPREADING ACTIVATION?
Changes in the synapses of neurons that occur when learning.
What is SYNAPTIC CONSOLIDATION
Loss of episodic details over time.
What is SEMANTICIZATION?
Successful retrieval depends partly on how much the conditions at encoding match the conditions at retrieval.
What is the ENCODING SPECIFITY PRINCIPLE?
The finding of a false memory as a result of the presentation of inaccurate information after an event.
What is the MISINFORMATION EFFECT?
It is faster to classify CANARY as a type of BIRD than it is to classify PENGUIN as a type of BIRD. This is known as the ________________________ effect.
What is the TYPICALITY EFFECT?
An area of the brain that is closely associated with long-term explicit memories.
What is the HIPPOCAMPUS?
Old information interferes with new learning.
What is PROACTIVE INTERFERENCE?
Facilitated recall when an internal state like MOOD at encoding and MOOD at retrieval match.
What is STATE-DEPENDENT LEARNING?
An explanation for the reminiscence bump that highlights that rapid changes in one's life is encoded strongly.
What is the COGNITVE HYPOTHESIS?
Representing concepts as neural firing in areas of the brain.
What is the SEMANTIC CATEGORY APPROACH TO CONCEPT REPRESENTATION?
Categorization based on ways in which an object resembles members of a category.
What is FAMILY RESEMBLANCE?
