Memory 2.3
What is the type of processing that requires attention and conscious effort?
What is effortful processing?
what is the method of memory retention that helps you remember large volumes of information by organizing them into familiar manageable units.
implicit
retention of learned skill or conditioned association; unconscious; emotional and procedural
What is primining?
the activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response
evolutionary perspective?
forgetting may be an adaptation; why carry it around if not useful for survival
what part of the working memory that holds and processes verbal and auditory info?
What is a Phonological Loop?
what is the term that describes out tendency to recall the last and first items in a list.
What is Serial Position effect
explicit
facts and experiences; conscious; semantic and episodic
encoding specificity principle
the idea that cues and contexts specific to a particular memory will be most effective in helping us recall it
biological perspective?
neural pathways can change or be disconnected (plasicity)
What is Structural, Phonemic, and Semantic?
what is the type of processing that is based on the meaning of words and tends to yield the best retention. This encodes semantically.
What is deep processing?
semantic memory
memory of general knowledge and facts
context dependent memory
The theory that information learned in a particular situation or place is better remembered when in that same situation or place.
Psychodynamic perspective?
forgetting is one part of our mind trying to protect the other parts from past trauma (unconscious repression)
What is a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli?
What is Iconic Memory?
what is the technique used associations to memorize and retrieve information
episodic memory
Autobiographical memory of an event or experience (who, what, where)
state-dependent memory
the phenomenon through which memory retrieval is most efficient when an individual is in the same state of consciousness as they were when the memory was formed-used in text with example of alcohol-alcohol is not a mood-thus the slight difference between state dependent and mood congruent memory definitions
social perspective?
we forget because we are not in the social situation to retrieve
what is the component of working memory where we create mental images to remember visual info?
What is Visuospatial Sketchpad?
What is the term used to describe the neural storage of a long-term memory?
What is memory consolidation?
what is the term for the inability to for new memories
What is anterograde amnesia?
primacy effect
tendency to remember words at the beginning of a list especially well (as part of serial position effect)
cognitive perspective?
mental indexing system has become disorganized; file names of memories have been mixed together.
