What is Found in the frontal/parietal lobe. Active when an animal performs a behavior and when they observe an action.
Mirror Neurons
100
What is the process of bringing to mind information that has been previously encoded and stored?
Retrieval
100
What is the inability to TRANSFER new information from the short-term into long-term storage.
Anterograde Amnesia
100
What is the tendency for information to be better recalled when a person is in the same state during encoding and retrieval. Ex: Sitting in the same seat during lecture for the exam
State-Dependent retrieval
100
When you consciously or intentionally retrieving past experiences vs without effort to remember them or an awareness of the recollection.
HINT: think about the notebook and Ally on piano
HINT: Explicit: studying for a test
Explicit Vs Implicit Memory
200
What is the thick band of nerve fibers that connects large areas of the cerebral cortex to each side and supports communication of information across the hemispheres?
Corpus Callosum
200
What is the general knowledge of the world? Ex: What is the 4th of July?
Sematic Memory
200
What is external information that helps bring stored information to mind? Ex: Something that triggers you to remember a certain thing/event
Retrieval Cue
200
What is memory is likely to transfer from one situation to another when the encoding context of the situations match?
Transfer-appropriate processing
200
Controls movement, abstract thinking, memory, and judgement vs processes information about TOUCH
Frontal Lobe vs Parietal lobe Functions
300
What is the process of maintaining information in memory over time?
Storage
300
What is A type of storage that holds information of hours, days, weeks, or years?
Long-term Memory
300
What is the collection of past personal experiences? Ex: What did you do 4th of July of three years ago?
Episodic Memory
300
What is combining small pieces of information into larger clusters or chunks that are more easily held in short-term memory?
Chunking
300
Responsible for hearing and language vs Processes visual information from what we see from the eyes.
Temporal VS Occipital Lobe functions
400
What is the process by which memories become stable in the brain?
Consolidation
400
What is the ability to store and retrieve information over time?
Memory
400
What are the states that a retrieval cue can serve as an effective reminder when it helps re-create the specific way in which information was initially encoded?
Encoding Specificity
400
What is the brains ability to be molded, and functions could be reassigned to an area of the body that has been injured and sending more neurons on the needed area?
Brain Plasticity
400
Control the right side of the body and language vs controls the left side and perceives stimulus.
Left vs Right Hemisphere
500
What is Active maintenance of information in short-term storage?
Working Memory
500
What is the inability to retrieve information that was acquired before a particular date, usually the date of an injury or operation?
Retrograde Amnesia
500
What is the gradual acquisition of skills as a result of practice or "knowing how" to do things?
Procedural Memory
500
What is the enhanced ability to think of a stimulus as a result of a recent exposure to the stimulus?
Priming
500
Failure to retrieve information that is available in memory even though you are trying to produce it (tip of the tongue) vs Lapse in attention that results in memory failure
