100
This effect describes our ability to remember items presented first in a list more than items presented in the middle.
What is the primacy effect?
100
This is one of the first models of how information is stored in human memory.
What is the Modal Model?
100
This type of memory assessment demands explicit full recall of information.
What is recall?
100
Information processed at a ______ level is more likely to be remembered than item presented at a shallow level.
What is deep?
100
These types of memory are related to procedures and skills rather than information.
What are implicit?
200
H.M. lost this portion of his brain, rendering him unable to form new long term explicit memories.
What is the Hippocampus?
200
Sperling's experiment utilized these stimuli to help show that sensory memory was infinite in size, but brief in time.
What are tones?
200
This technique is utilized to allow information in STM to be encoded into LTM.
What is rehearsal?
200
When participants are asked to create their own images of items they are more likely to remember those items than if they are shown an image of those items. This effect is called:
What is the generation effect?
200
According to Baddeley's model of working memory, this tool is utilized to process visual information.
What is the visuospatial sketchpad?
300
This type of memory assessment relies on a sense of familiarity rather than explicit recollection.
What is recognition?
300
This part of the brain is heavily associated with attentional control and working memory.
What is the PFC or prefrontal cortex?
300
This effect allows us to remember the most recently presented items in a list better than items presented in the middle.
What is recency?
300
According to this effect, you should attempt to recreate the environment in which you learned information when attempting to recall it.
What is encoding specificity?
300
This effect is related to the finding that individuals who study information over several times tend to remember more information for longer than if they spent the same amount of time studying, but only in one big burst, such as in cramming.
What is the spacing effect?
400
With Explicit memories, these types of memory are initially formed as episodic memories, but some of the sensory information degrades over time.
What are semantic?
400
This process allows us to bypass the 7 plus or minus 2 boundary in STM by placing items together into meaningful groups.
What is chunking?
400
This is the bringing of information from LTM back to STM to allow for problem solving/comparison with current experiences.
What is retrieval?
400
Even though H.M. had memory problems, he could still form these types of long-term memories.
What are implicit?
400
The effect describes our ability to misremember the location of objects if they had the appearance of moving.
What is representational momentum?
500
The Propaganda effect is an example of what occurs when __________ is utilized repeatedly.
What is priming?
500
The Baddeley model of working memory has a mechanism devoted to processing auditory information called this.
What is the Phonological Loop?
500
On a neural level, rehearsal is actually causing this to occur along neural pathways associated with particular memories.
What is reactivation?
500
This is a neural mechanism which facilitates learning by making certain connections stronger after being rewarded for firing across those connections.
What is long term potentiation?
500
This task assesses working memory by requiring individuals to remember letters while simultaneously solving math problems.
What is the operations span task?
