What is sensory memory, short-tern memory, and long-term memory?
200
This requires very little effort to place information into long-term memory.
What is automatic encoding?
200
A failure to encode information.
What is forgetting?
200
This is when memory for the past (prior to the injury) is lost.
(Hint: This can be a loss of a several minutes to several years)
What is amnesia?
300
This focuses on the way information is processed through different stages of memory.
What is the information-processing model?
300
This is a part of sensory memory and is visual.
What is iconic memory?
300
This is the tendency of people who are misleading information to incorporate that information into their memories for a particular event.
What is the misinformation effect?

What is the memory trace decay theory?
300
This can disrupt consolidation and cause retrograde amnesia.
What is ECT (electroconvulsive therapy)?
400
This focuses on simultaneous processing of information across multiple neural networks.
What is the parallel distributed processing (PDP) model.
400
This is a part of short-term memory and is an active system responsible for processing the information in STM.
What is working memory?
400
This occurs when people falsely believe that they knew the outcome of some event because hey have included knowledge of the event's true outcome into their memories of the event itself.

What is LTM?
400
This appears to be responsible for the storage of new long-term declaritive memories.
What is hippocampus?
500
This focuses on the depth of processing associated with specific information and also has deeper processing associated with longer retention.
What is the levels-of-processing model?
500
This is part of long-term memory and is organized in the form of semantic networks, or nodes of related information spreading out from a central piece of knowledge.
What is LTM?
500
This occurs when the first items and the last items in a list of information are recalled more efficiently than items in the middle of the list.
What is the serial position effect?
500
This person found that information is mostly lost within 1 hour after learning and then gradually fades away.
