the mental functions and processes by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved; information stored in the mind
What is memory?
100
the translation of information into a form that can be stored in memory
What is encoding?
100
methods for remembering new information by creating meaningful links to information already known
What is elaborative rehearsal?
100
the sensory register that briefly holds traces of aural stimuli
What is echoic memory?
100
the mental process of organizing information into meaningful units, or 'chunks'
What is chunking?
200
memory of specific experienced events
What is episodic memory?
200
the maintenance of encoded information over time
What is storage?
200
the process of recalling information from memory storage
What is retrieval?
200
also called working memory, memory that holds information briefly before it is either stored in long-term memory or forgotten
What is short-term memory?
200
the type or stage of memory capable of large and relatively permanent storage
What is long-term memory?
300
memory of general knowledge and information
What is semantic memory?
300
the repetition of new information in an attempt to remember it
What is maintenance rehearsal?
300
the immediate, initial recording of sensory information in the memory system
What is sensory memory?
300
(1) the tendency to recall the initial item or items in a series; (2) the tendency to form opinions of others based on first impressions
What is primacy effect?
300
an idea or mental framework that helps one organize and interpret information
What is schema?
400
memory of specific information
What is explicit memory?
400
information that is more easily retrieved in the context or situation in which it was encoded and stored
What is context-dependent memories?
400
the sensory register that briefly holds mental images of visual stimuli
What is iconic memory?
400
(1) the tendency to recall the last item in a series; (2) the tendency for people to change their opinions of others based on recent interactions
What is recency effect?
400
a memory process in which one identifies objects or events that have previously been encountered
What is recognition?
500
the process of recalling information from memory storage information that is more easily retrieved when one is in the same physiological or emotional state as when the memory was originally encoded or learned state-dependent memories?
What is state-dependent memories?
500
the maintenance of a very detailed visual memory over long periods of time
What is eidetic imagery?
500
the process that occurs when new information in short-term memory pushes or crowds out and replaces what was already there
What is interference?
500
non immediate retrieval of learned information
What is recall?
