CHAPTER 6
A theory by Craik and Lockhart that states the depth of processing helps determine the durability in long-term memory.
What is LEVELS OF PROCESSING?
Type of memory that can include both semantic and episodic memories.
What are AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORIES?
An automatic transmission of energy to associated concepts which makes these concepts temporarily more accessible from memory.
What is ACTIVATION?
Any associates of a cue other than the target
What are COMPETITORS?
A type of rehearsal that is not highly effective at encoding.
What is MAINTENANCE REHEARSAL?
In a Hierarchical Network Model, concepts are represented as _____________.
What are NODES?
More frequently encountered words start with a higher activation level and thus are more easily retrieved
What is WORD FREQUENCY EFFECT FOR RECALL?
Any negative effect on memory arising from having competitors.
What is INTERFERENCE?
When retroactive interference diminishes over time, there can be _____________ of a forgotten memory.
What is SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY?
A brain region that helps to bind sensory input into an episodic memory representation.
What is the HIPPOCAMPUS?
A type of memory test in which context is not used intentionally as a retrieval cue.
What are IMPLICIT/NONDECLARATIVE MEMORY TESTS?
When older information interferes with newly learned material.
What is PROACTIVE INTERFERENCE?
Profound memory loss including personal identity.
What is GLOBAL PSYCHOGENIC AMNESIA?
The spontaneous organization of semantic information.
What is SUBJECTIVE ORGANIZATION?
What is the TYPICALITY EFFECT?
Based on signal detection theory of recognition memory, responding OLD to a target item is identified as a ____________.
What is a HIT?
Selective retrieval can harm recall of other memories related to the retrieved item
What is RETRIEVAL INDUCED FORGETTING?
Thought substitution as a motivated forgetting strategy is referred to as the ________________ hypothesis.
What is the CONTEXT SHIFT HYPOTHESIS
A process of consolidation that occurs without intention (for example, while asleep).
What is OFFLINE PROCESSING?
Modality dependent processing units that process things like, sound, valence, and speech.
What are SPOKES?
The use of a verbal and visual cue so that there are multiple access routes to a target.
What is DUAL CODING?
An active mechanism that can reduce interference.
A motivated forgetting strategy that has been associated with brain activity in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
What is SUBSTITUTION?
