- 1Basic Questions for MemoriesHow does information get into our memories? How do we maintain information stored in our memories? How do we pull information from our memories?
- 2EncodingMust pay attention; focuses awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events; behaves like a filter, letting some information in, and leaving some out.
- 3Parallel ProcessingProcessing multiple types of information at a time
- 4Levels of ProcessingStructural (shallow), Phonemic (intermediate), and Semantic (Deep); deeper processing, longer lasting memory
- 5Information-Processing TheoriesSubdivide memory into three different stores: sensory, short-term, and long-term
- 6Sensory MemoryBrief preservation of information in original sensory form; auditory (echoic) and visual (iconic) memory takes approximately 1/4 second before delay
- 7Short-term memoryWorks through the working memory, which keeps information available for current use; limited duration, lasts twenty seconds without rehearsal; can store up to nine memories
- 8RehearsalThe process of repetitively verbalizing or thinking about the information
- 9ChunkingGrouping familiar stimuli for storage as a single unit
- 10Long-term memoryUnlimited storage, strengthened by rehearsal; uses flashbulb memories
- 11SchemasCognitive structures that organize knowledge; help us to perceive and process information
- 12Semantic NetworksAll information is connected
- 13Associated Networks ModelActivating one's node increases the likelihood that associated nodes will be activated
- 14The "Tip of the Tongue" PhenomenonThinking of something but failing to remember what it is; a failure in retrieval
- 15Explicit MemoryConscious memories
- 16Declarative MemoryKnowledge we can consciously bring to mind
- 17Episodic MemoryPast experiences, including the time and place
- 18Semantic MemoryKnowledge independent of personal experience
- 19Implicit MemoryUnconscious memories
- 20Procedural (Motor) MemoriesIn charge of motor skills and behavioral habits
- 21TransienceForgetting over time
- 22Proactive InterferencePrior information inhibits ability to learn new information
- 23Retroactive InterferenceNew information inhibits the ability to remember old information
- 24AmnesiaDeficit in long-term memory, due to disease, brain injury
- 25Retrograde AmnesiaLosing past memories, such as events, facts, people, identity, et cetera
- 26Anterograde AmnesiaLosing the ability to form new memories
- 27RepressionThe suppression of unwanted memories
- 28Memory BiasChanging memories to become consistent with current beliefs and attitudes
- 29Source MisattributionMis-remember specifics, such as the date, time or place
- 30Source AmnesiaMemory of an event without knowing the source of the memory
- 31SuggestibilityMisleading information can bias memories
