Human Memory: Retention and Retrieval
Karten in diesem Stapel (26)
- 1What part of the brain are responsible for creation of memories?The prefrontal regions
- 2What part of the brain is responsible for storing memories?The Hippocampal regions
- 3What is the decay theory of forgetting?Memories simply decay in strength with time.
- 4What is the interference thory of forgetting?Memory retention is impacted by interfering material, e.g. learning additional associations to an item can cause old ones to be forgotten.
- 5What is the fan effect?The increase in reaction time related to an increase in the number of memory structures associated with a concept.
- 6When more facts are associated with a concept, does this lead to faster or slower retrieval of any one of the facts.The more facts associated with a concept, the slower the retrieval of any one of the facts.
- 7What are two mechanisms tht can produce forgetting?decay of memory strength and interference from other memories
- 8Is there support for active inhibition (suppression) of memories?Evidence is inconclusive
- 9What is the function for the human law of forgetting?.
- 10How is the interference of of materials eliminated?When there is relatedness among materials. Learning related material does not interfere with retrieval of a target memory and may even facilitate it.
- 11Retrieval and inference.?In trying to remember material, people will use what they can remember to infer what else they might have studied.
- 12Plausible retrievalPlausible retrieval to faster than exact retrieval. People will often judge what plausibly might be true rather than try to retrieve exact facts.
- 13Elaboration and Inferential ReconstructionElaborating material leads to greater recall of what was studied, and inferences not studied.
- 14Described the activation in the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus when true (studied words), false, and new words are presented to study participants.Activation in the hippo is the same for true and false words, whereas activation in parahippo is only greater for true words; parahippo is more closely connected to sensory regions of brain (may retain sensory experience of seeing the studied true words)
- 15Spreading-action theory?.
- 16Effect of Mood congruence on memories?Memories are easier to recall when the emotional content of the memories matches the mood at recall.
- 17State-dependent learning?>Easier to recall information if they can return to the same emotional and physical state they were in when they learned the information.
- 18Effects of encoding contextBetter memory is demonstrated if external context and internal states are the same at the time of study and the time of test.
- 19Encoding-specificity principle...
- 20retrograde amnesia?loss of memory for events that occurred before an injury
- 21anterograde amnesiaan inability to store new things in memory
- 22Explicit memory?What we can consciously recall.
- 23Implicit memory?What our actions imply we remember in the absence of conscious memory; implicit memory involves knowledge of how to perform tasks
- 24Implicit vs explicit memory in normal participants...
- 25Procedural knowledgethe knowledge of how to perform a task
- 26What subcortial structures appear critical for sequence learning?basal ganglia (critical to motor control)
