Cognitive Theories
This cognitive theory explains how humans store and retrieve information about the world.
(What is Schema Theory?)
This model distinguishes between sensory, short-term, and long-term memory.
What is Multi-Store Model
This bias occurs when people search for information that supports their beliefs.
What is Confirmation Bias
Loftus and Palmer studied this concept in eyewitness testimony.
What is the misinformation effect and reconstructive memory
This term describes how digital technology can shape or impact cognition.
What is digital amnesia or cognitive offloading
This theory by Kahneman explains two different modes of thinking.
What is Dual Process Theory
This model emphasizes the depth at which information is processed.
What is the levels of processing model
This bias causes people to rely too heavily on the first piece of information given.
What is Anchoring Bias
This study by Bartlett demonstrated how memory is influenced by culture and prior knowledge.
What is the "War of Ghosts"
The "Google effect" is an example of this impact of digital technology.
What is cognitive offloading
According to this concept, our mental shortcuts can lead to systematic errors.
What is a heuristic
This model includes a central executive, phonological loop, and visuospatial sketchpad.
What is the Working Memory Model
Kahneman & Tversky used this type of problem to demonstrate biases in decision-making.
What is Asian Disease Problem
This study showed that schemas influence perception and recall of a setting.
What is Brewer & Treyens' office study
Sparrow et al. (2011) found that people remember this better than the information itself.
What is where to find information
This theory suggests our perception of reality is shaped by pre-existing knowledge.
What is schema theory
Craik and Tulving tested this model in their 1975 study.
What is the Levels of Processing Model
This bias involves making decisions based on how easily examples come to mind.
What is Availability Heuristic
Glanzer and Cunitz found evidence for this memory phenomenon.
What is serial position effect
This effect describes how frequent use of digital technology may reduce memory retention.
What is the Google effect or digital amnesia
This term refers to mental structures that help us organize knowledge, interpret information, and make predictions.
What are schemas
Baddeley and Hitch’s model focuses on this aspect of memory used in reasoning and comprehension.
What is Working Memory
500This term describes consistent and predictable errors in judgment.
What is Cognitive Biases
HM's case study provided evidence for the localization of this cognitive function.
What is memory
This research showed multitasking with digital devices impairs memory and attention.
