Types of Memory
This type of memory is made up of general knowledge and facts.
What is semantic memory?
This type of retrieval involves identifying information from a set of choices.
What is recognition?
Remembering the first and last items in a list best describes this effect.
What is the serial positioning effect?
The process of accessing and bringing into consciousness previously stored information from memory.
Retrieval
This type of long-term memory allows you to remember personal experiences.
What is episodic memory?
These enhance memory encoding; can be acronyms, songs, visualizations, etc.
Mnemonic devices
The tendency to remember the first items in a list
What is the primacy effect?
the inability to recall memories from very early childhood
infantile amnesia
Muscle memory and skills, like riding a bike, rely on this type of memory.
What is procedural memory?
Grouping information into smaller, meaningful units
What is chunking?
This term describes our ability to hold and manipulate information in real time.
What is working memory?
**DOUBLE POINTS**
Information is more effectively stored in long-term memory by testing yourself on that information as opposed to just re-reading it.
The testing effect
This type of memory helps you remember to do things in the future, like taking medicine.
What is prospective memory?
This phenomenon explains that we tend to remember information better in the context/setting in which we learned it
Context-dependent memory
The tendency to remember the last items in a list.
What is the recency effect?
This model says that memory has multiple places of storage: Sensory memory, short-term memory, long term memory
The Multi-store model
This type of memory is retrieved unconsciously and affects behavior without awareness
What is implicit memory?
This effect shows that spaced learning is more effective than cramming.
The Spacing Effect
This concept says memory depends on how deeply information is processed; The more deeply we process information, the more likely we are to recall it
Levels of Processing
This mnemonic device is also known as the "mind palace"
