Introduction
An information processing system that receives, organises, stores and recovers information
What is memory?
The three main processes of memory
What are encoding, storage, and retrieval?
The two types of attention
What are selective attention and divided attention?
Inability to retrieve information from memory
What is forgetting?
Name the two sampling techniques
stratified sampling,
random sampling
What are the stages of the multi-store model of memory?
sensory information > sensory memory > attention > STM > encoding / retrieval > LTM
Four main components of the working memory model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974
What are the central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and episodic buffer?
Process by which an individual focuses their awareness on a particular stimulus or aspect of the environment while ignoring other stimuli.
What is selective attention?
Type of forgetting occurs when information cannot be recalled due to the absence of retrieval cues, despite it being stored in memory.
What is retrieval failure?
Two main types of data used in research.
Qualitative data and quantitative data
What is the duration of echoic memory?
3-4 seconds
Knowing the formula for water and table salt is an example of:_________________memory
What is semantic memory?
The main processes involved in sensation?
Reception, transduction, and transmission
Three main types of recall.
What are free recall, serial recall, and cued recall?
What is the difference between an experimental group and control group
control = baseline
experimental = group exposed to the IV
What is the difference between episodic and semantic memory?
Semantic memory refers to organised factual knowledge whereas episodic memory is a record of personal experiences.
The memories of which we are not consciously aware are called.
What is implicit memory?
The main processes involved in perception?
Selection, organization, and interpretation
Two main levels of processing involved in encoding information into memory.Craik and Lockahrt.
What are shallow processing (involving structural and phonemic aspects) and deep processing (involving semantic meaning and elaboration)?
The part of the brain that appears to be involved in the processing of short-term memories into long term
What is the hippocampus?
How are the hippocampus and amygdala linked in the formation of memory?
he Hippocampus consolidates and retrieves explicit memories, the amygdala links these memories to emotions.
Ivy saw a friend from grade school that she went to her first dance with and a whole series of memories emerged. The type of memory she was having was...
What is episodic?
Cherry, 1953
Cocktail Party Effect
Phenomenon where individuals purposefully forget or suppress memories due to psychological reasons, such as trauma or discomfort.
What is motivated forgetting?
"Three Rs" guiding the ethical use of animals in research
Replacement, reduction and refinement.
