The immediately, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system.
What is Sensory Memory
100
Our tendency to recall best the last and first items on a list.
What is Serial Position Effect
100
Remembering the last items more than those in the middle.
What is Recency
100
A simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgements and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms.
What is Heuristics
100
Children can regognize things that belong to them and others. Approximately 18 months.
What is Two-Word Stage
200
A newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conciousness, active processing of incoming autidory and visual-spatial information and information retrieved from long-term memory.
What is Working Memory.
200
The concious repetition of information, either to maintain it in counciousness or to encode it for storage
What is Rehearsal
200
Proposes that memory fades due to the mere passage of time.
What is Decay
200
A methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem. Contrasts with the usually speedier-but also more error-prone-use of heuristics.
What is Algorithms
200
Children can speak single consonant-vowel syllable reapeatedly. 6-8 months.
What is Babbling
300
Recalled Memories of abuse or others that had previously been forgotten.
What is Recovered Memory.
300
The processing of information into the memory system-for example, by extracting meaning.
What is Encoding
300
When older memory interferes with remembering a new memory.
What is Interference
300
The idea that language and its structures limit and determine human knowledge or thoughts.
What is Linguistic Determinism
300
Children can speak most concrete words such as "car" and "eat." Approximately 1 year old.
What is One-Word Stage
400
One's memory capabilities and strategies that can aid memory, as well as the porcessess involved in memory self-monitoring.
What is Megamemory.
400
Enhanced memory resulting from the act of retrieving information as compared to simply reading or hearing the information
What is Testing Effect
400
Incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event.
What is Misinformation Effect
400
Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availibility in memory; if instances come readily to mind, we presume such events are common.
What is Availability
400
An optimal period shortly after birth when an organism's exposure to certain stimuli or experiences produces proper development.
What is Critical Period
500
Recall that is hypothesized to walk by storing abstract features which are then used to construct the memory during recall.
What is Reconstructive Memory.
500
Type of state-dependent memory specifically showing that memory performance is not only determined by the depth of processing but the relationship between how information is initially encoded and later retrieved.
What is Transfer-Appropriate Processing
500
Attributing to the wrong source an event we have experienced, heard, read about, or imagined. This is the heart of many false memories.
What is Source Amnesia
500
Judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well they seem to represent, or match particular prototypes; may lead us to ignore other relevant information.
What is Representativeness
500
Speech during the two-word stage of language acquisition in children, which is laconic and efficient. (Type of speech produced by people who have suffered injury to the Broca's area)
