Memory 1
Psychologists often compare memory to a computer system—information is "input" (encoded), "saved" (stored), and "opened" (retrieved).. what is this called?
The Information Processing Model
_____________ focuses on what people do, not what they think.
Behaviourism
This schedule rewards a behavior after every performance of the desired behavior
Continuous
In Pavlov's Dog experiment, what is the bell defined as?
Neutral Stimulus
The amount of items in short term memory
2 - 7 items
The initial learning and "labeling" of information. The brain converts sensory input (sights, sounds, meanings) into a mental construct.
Encoding
A ___________ leads to a response
Stimulus
This ratio of reinforcement should be delivered after a constant or “fixed” number of correct responses.
Fixed
In Pavlov's Dog's experiment, what is the food defined as?
Unconditioned stimulus
The permanent storehouse of your knowledge and experiences.
Long Term Memory
The retention of encoded information over time. This involves maintaining the information so it doesn't disappear.
Storage
The theorist who invented classical conditioning
Ivan Pavlov
Which schedule is this - behavior is rewarded after a set amount of time
Fixed Interval
What terms did we learn from Skinners box experiments related to desired behaviors?
Reinforcement (rewards) and Punishment
The information is in your brain, but you can't find the right "cue" to pull it out (the "Tip-of-the-Tongue" phenomenon).
Retrieval Failure
The process of accessing stored information and bringing it back into conscious awareness when needed.
Retrieval
The theorist who invented operant conditioning
BF Skinner
Which schedule is this - reinforcement based on varying and unpredictable amounts of time.
Variable
What type of reinforcement strengthens desired behaviours?
Positive
We never truly "learned" the information because we weren't paying attention.
Encoding Failure
0.5 to 4 seconds
The name of the man who performed experiments on Little Albert
Watson
What schedule is this - schedule of 2 means reinforcement is delivered after every 2 correct responses
This animal was used in Skinners Box
Rat
The memory trace fades over time because it isn't used or rehearsed.
Storage decay
