- 1What is encoding?Encoding is turning info into a form that can be stored in memory
- 2what is selective attention?focusing on only relevant info at a time
- 3What is storage?maintaining info in memory and requires consolidation
- 4what is consolidationthe process in the brain that forms permanent memory
- 5what is retrievalrecalling stored information
- 6what is information processing approachthe idea that how we think is similar to how computers process
- 7what is the atkinson-shiffrin model?the idea that there are three types of memory systems (sensory, short term and long term)
- 8what is sensory memory?holds information from senses. if you don't consolidate though you will lose it through decay or displacment
- 9what is short term memorybrief storage of currently used info, it is like a whiteboard and can only store around 7 pieces of information. lose through decay displacement or interference
- 10what is long term memoryit is the permenant storage but if you don't use it youll lose it
- 11what is the different between episodic and semantic memoryepisodic is a mental diary and semantic is a mental dictionary
- 12what is recall?no retrieval cues and ahs to be done in an order
- 13what is recognitionusing little hints (retireval cues) to help with memory
- 14what are schemas?they are the building blocks of knowledge. they are pre exisitng and can affect encoing and retrieval
- 15what is disortion?altering memories to fit us better. often positively distorted. we need it to help understand the world around us and for emotional well being
- 16what is a flashbulb memorya vivid memory that was embedded because of an event
- 17what is eiditic memorysimply photographic memory
- 18what is the serial position effectyou can recall the beggining and end of a sequence
- 19why do you remember stiff because of the primacy effectbecause it is alreadu on LTM
- 20hwy do you recall info because of the recency effectit is still likely in STM
- 21what does envirometnal contex have to do with memoryyou remember stuff easier when you learn it in the same enviro context
- 22what is state dependant memoryits easier to recall something when you are in the same state you leanred it in (sleepy, high)
- 23what is the hippocampus's role in memoryit is the area responisble for processing LTM
- 24what is long term potentiation (LTM)the idea that anything sparking a memory creates a synapse and helps to strengthen LTM. this is why we remember long term
- 25what are the eight different causes of forgetting?- encoding failure: the stuff doesn't make it to LTM
- decay theory: if you don't use it, you lose it
- retroactive interference: new info itnterferes with old
- proactive interfernece: old info interferes with the new
- consolidatin failure: memories don't consolidate
- motivated forgetting: defense mechanism to protect against trauamtic memories
- propective forgetiing: forgetting to do something in the future
- retireval failue - can't locate info, "tip of the tounge" - 26what are the different eays to help improve memory?- orginaztion: make it easier to recall
- overlearn (revieiw it over and over agian untilyou can do it without mistakes)
- spaced repition is better
- active learning will lead to better memory
- first letter mnemonic (ROYGBIV)
- loci mnemonic (associate with a location)
- keyword mnemonic (fou means silly, fou - foul - silly)
