This stage of sleep is associated with dreaming and with consolidation of procedural memories.
What is REM sleep?
100
This describes how activating one concept can activate related concepts.
What is spreading activation?
100
This theory suggests that older memories do not depend on the hippocampus and instead involve more cortico-cortical connections.
What is the Standard Model of systems consolidation?
100
This psychologist is famous for work looking the effects of false memories and eyewitness memory.
Who is Elizabeth Loftus?

The Mantyla (1986) "Apple red-Iphone-pie" study showed that these produce the best retrieval when they are generated yourself.
What are retrieval cues?
200
This theory suggests we remember a disproportionate number of memories from our early adulthood because that is when our identity is being formed.
What is the self-image hypothesis?
200
This is a feature of Collins and Quillian's Hierarchical Model, and indicates that properties are stored only at the highest level possible.
What is cognitive economy?
200
This is the finding that we are faster at verifying that an apple is a fruit than that an avocado is a fruit.
What is the typicality effect?
200
This theory states that retrieval is best when the processes required at retrieval match those used at encoding.
What is the Transfer Appropriate Processing Theory?
300
This type of consolidation is faster and involves structural changes due to protein synthesis.
What is synaptic consolidation?
300
Larry Jacoby's "Becoming Famous Overnight" study demonstrated that familiarity can cause what kind of error?
What is source misattribution?
300
This theory of categorization suggests that we determine what category an object is in by comparing it to an average of all category members encountered in the past.
What is the prototypical approach to categorization?
300
This aspect of autobiographical memories refers to how these types of memories can draw upon all 5 senses and can involve emotions.
What is the multidimensional nature of autobiographical memories?
300
The finding that we are faster at reading "doctor" after reading "nurse" is an example of this.
What is conceptual priming?
400
Research showing the advantage of this type of processing emerged from the perspective that encoding is the result of an evolutionary process.
What is survival processing?
400
This effect shows that presenting misleading information AFTER someone has witnessed an event can change how they remember that event.
What is the misinformation effect?
400
These types of models use a connectionist approach to determine how we represent concepts.
What are parallel distributed processing models?
400
Research using fear conditioning in rats has shown that you can make a rat forget a fear response by blocking this.
What is reconsolidation?
400
This effect is used to induce false memories in people; specifically, people falsely remember the experimenter saying a critical lure word.
What is the DRM effect?
500
Studying for the upcoming exam in CHBS 1016 (the room you will take the exam in) will lead to the best test performance according to this theory.
What is the Encoding Specificity Theory?
500
This famous researcher was one of the first to describe the constructive nature of memory by using an experiment with a repeated reproduction procedure.
Who is Fredrick Bartlett?
500
This theory for how categories are represented in the brain suggests that we determine category membership by using many factors that are distributed across the brain.
What is the Multiple-Factor Approach?
500
This theory suggests that the hippocampus remains involved in older consolidated episodic memories, but not consolidated memories that have lost their episodic details.
What is the Multiple Trace Theory?
500
This level of categorization is more likely to be used by experts than non-experts.
