Memory Processes
The three basic steps of memory.
Encoding, storage, and retrieval.
This type of long-term memory contains information about events we have personally experienced.
What is episodic memory?
The two binocular cues
What are convergence and retinal disparity?
Part of your memory that is limitless.
What is long term memory?
If you organized information into manageable bits to aid memory, you were using these.
What are mnemonic devices?
The type of memory that holds about seven bits of information before it is forgotten or stored.
What is short-term memory (STM)?
When remembering the meanings of words, concepts, and language-based knowledge, you are utilizing this type of memory.
What is semantic memory?
What is the Hippocampus?
This theory explains the impact of processing information more deeply, making it easier to remember.
What is "levels of processing"?
Memory enhancing technique that involves associating the things you want to remember with various places.
What is method of loci?
The process your neurons go through as you learn; how connections between neurons are strengthened by repeated firing.
What is long-term potentiation?
When you engage in a skill you've mastered, like riding a bike or playing an instrument, you are relying on this type of long-term memory.
What is procedural memory?
FOUR APA ethical guidelines?
What is
- No Coercion
- Informed Consent
- Confidentiality
- No signficant mental harm
- Debriefing
In situations where you encode informational details like time, space, frequency, and the meaning of words without consciously trying, you are engaging in this type of processing.
What is automatic processing?
Bob is a language enthusiast who learned Spanish in high school but forgot it over the years. Recently, he decided to reacquire his Spanish skills through dedicated study and repetition. Bob is employing this memory enhancing technique.
What is relearning?
A memory technique that involves making information meaningful by linking it to existing knowledge or creating associations. This method enhances encoding and makes the information more likely to be stored in long-term memory. For example, instead of simply repeating a new vocabulary word, you might connect it to a personal experience or relate it to a concept you already understand.
What is elaborative rehearsal?
When consciously trying to remember and recall specific facts, you are engaged in this type of memory process.
What is explicit memory?
Neurotransmitter most associated with the perception of pain.
What is the substance P?
Type of memory for things you plan to do in the future?
Perspective memory?
John is a student studying a challenging concept in physics. As he deeply contemplate the meaning and applications of the theory of relativity, he employs this type of rehearsal, contributing to stronger memories.
What is elaborative rehearsal?
The three parts of Atkinson and Shiffrin multi-store memory model.
What is sensory memory, short-term memory, and long term memory?
Consider your daily routine of brushing your teeth. This is the type of memory that comes into play when performing this habitual and automatic action.
What is implicit memory?
Theory of vision associated with after images.
What is opponent process theory?
Maria vividly remembers the smell of her grandmother's cookies, the warmth of the kitchen, and the sound of her laughter while baking. She encoded these are this type of memory.
What are sensory memories?
Jay is a student preparing for a biology exam, specifically focusing on cellular processes. Instead of cramming all the information the night before, Jay decides to study for 30 minutes each day for a week. By doing so, Jay is using this memory-enhancing strategy that involves studying across time in short durations.
What is distributed practice or spaced retrieval?
