Memory
The process of getting information into memory.
What is encoding?
The structural encoding emphasizes structure of incoming sensory information
the organization of items into familiar or manageable units
What is chunking?
A mental shortcut that involves judging whether something belongs to a given class on the basis of its similarity to other members of that class.
What is REPRESENTATIVENESS HEURISTIC
The smallest unit of sound in a language.
What is a phoneme?
This type of memory holds information temporarily for about 20–30 seconds.
What is short-term memory?
A step-by-step method that guarantees a solution.
What is an algorithm?
refers to our unconscious encoding of incidental information such as space,time, and frequency, and of well-learned information.
What is Automatic Processing?
The ability to derive information, learn from experience, adapt to the environment, understand, and correctly utilize thought and reason.
What is intelligence?
is a component of working memory model which stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form.
What is the visuospatial sketchpad?
This is the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system.
What is long-term memory?
A mental shortcut that allows people to make judgments quickly but can lead to errors.
What is a heuristic?
encoding that requires attention and some degree of conscious effort
What is Effortful Processing?
is a way of thinking that includes generating novel ideas and engaging in divergent (versus convergent) thinking.
What is creativity?
a component of working memory model that deals with spoken and written material.
What is the Phonological Loop?
This type of memory involves skills and procedures that are performed without conscious awareness.
What is implicit memory?
The tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions.
What is confirmation bias?
is the visual sensory memory consisting of a perfect photographic memory, which lasts no more than a few tenths of a second.
What is Iconic Memory?
People’s beliefs about whether intelligence is fixed from birth or malleable due to experience can affect academic achievement.
What is Fixed/Growth mindset?
The strengthening of synapses
What is Long-Term Potential?
The process of retaining information over time.
What is storage?
semantic encoding involves forming an association or attaching meaning to a sensory impression and results in longer-lasting memories
What is Deep Processing?
is the momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli, lasting about 3 or 4 seconds
What is Echoic memory?
IQ scores across much of the world have generally increased over time due to societal factors, such as higher socioeconomic status and access to better health care and better nutrition.
What is the Flynn Effect?
this primary memory system engages in a dynamic interaction with several components, namely the central executive, phonological loop, and visuospatial sketchpad, to process information into long-term memory
What is Working Memory Model?
