Memory
Types of Memory
Memory Aids
Storage/Retrieval
Forgetting
100

The persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information

Memory

100

Two types of memory that use unconscious and conscious retrieval

Explicit, Implicit

100

actively processing incoming auditory and visual information while working to link it with previously stored information

Working Memory

100
Parts of the brain associated with Explicit Memories and how?

Hippocampus - save button

Frontal lobes - stores semantic and episodic

100

when a memory has been corrupted by misleading information

Misinformation Effect

200

3 step process of forming memories

Encoding, Storage, Retrieval

200

Implicit memories include

space, time, frequency, classically conditioned associations, motor skills

200

organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically

Chunking

200

Parts of brain associated with Implicit memories and how? 

Cerebellum - classically conditioned associations

Basal Ganglia - Motor Functions

200

faulty memory for how, when, or where information was learned

Source Amnesia

300
3 stages of memory

Sensory memory, short term memory (working memory), Long term memory

300
Explicit memories include
Facts, General Knowledge, Exeriences
300

memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices

Mnemonics

300

Explain the 3 ways we retrieve information. 

Recall

Recognition

Relearning

300

A defense mechanism that banishes anxious thoughts, feelings, and memories from consciousness.

Repression/motivated forgetting


400

unconscious encoding of everyday information, such as space, time, and frequency

Automatic Processing

400

Explicit Memories of personal events

episodic memories

400

the tendency for studying or practicing over time to yield better long-term retention rather than through cramming

Spacing Effect

400

any stimulus linked to a specific memory

Retrieval Cue

400

the forward-acting disruptive effect of older learning on the recall of new information; 

Example: you keep putting your old email password in and keep forgetting your new password.

Proactive Interference

500

encoding memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously retrieve

Effortful processing

500

a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event

Flashbulb memory

500

helping memory through retrieving information, rather than simply rereading

Testing Effect

500

the tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood

Mood-congruent memory

500

the backward-acting disruptive effect of newer learning on the recall of old information. 

Example: A remix of a song comes on the radio and you can't remember the original song lyrics.

Retroactive Interference
