An Upstanding Model
Change blindness occurs because of a failure to attend to information in this stage of memory.
What is sensory memory?
These are three theories/explanations of why we forget information.
What are retrieval-failure, decay theory, and interference?
This is a system of interconnected symbolic nodes and links.
Madigan, a 2-year old, is unable to say the "c" in cup or the "p" in pup. Each word is pronounced "up". The "c" and "p" are both examples of this unit of language.
What is the serial position effect?
This refers the passage of time's influence on memory.
What is retention interval?
This paradigm shows that being exposed to many related terms will create a false memory for connected words that are not shown, in essence creating a "false memory".
What is the DRM paradigm?
What is a morpheme?
Shepherd and Metzler (1971) tested the time it took subjects to rotate objects in working memory. What did they find?
They found that time to internally visualize moving along a map or rotating objects increased as physical distance of items increased.
Palmer and Loftus showed subjects videos of car accidents and varied the questions asked after the videos. This impacted subjects' memories for the speed that cars impacted each other.
When Joe is asked to describe a dog, he immediately thinks of a German Shepherd. Many subjects are likely to describe a German Shepherd or Golden retriever. These are referred to as ____.
Typicality effects.
Visual cues from mouth movement can help us hear phonemes. If someone is mouthing the incorrect phoneme, we may hear the sound that we visually see mouthed. This is known as?
What is the McGurk Effect?
These are the 3 dynamic processes of memory.
Attention, rehearsal (encoding), retrieval
These are errors in which other knowledge intrudes into the remembered event.
What are intrusion errors?
In the DRM paradigm, this word is the categorical gist of the list provided to subjects but is never shown. Nonetheless, participants remember seeing it.
What is the critical lure?
This allows for the smooth perception of phonemes despite interruption from external noise, such as a cough.
What is the phoneme restoration effect?
We did an example of a delayed-match to sample task with yellow and white square grids. This stage of memory and area of the brain was found to be responsive in similar tasks.
What does it mean that our memory is “reconstructive”. Use at least one research example to explain.
You could discuss anything that references the mind's reliance on re-consolidation, suggestibility, or malleability. Information after an event will alter our memories (Loftus and Palmer). Our imagination can create memories (Wade et al's hot air balloon study) and the biological mechanisms of reconsolidation highlight that our memory changes, it is not crystallized.
When participants in an eye-witness study are provided with positive feedback (e.g., "great work!) for their accounts, what is the result for their memory accuracy?
There is no change to accuracy but it does increase their confidence.
If this area of the brain is damaged, an individuals' language will be fluent but incomprehensible.
What is the Wernicke's Area?
