Psychology Test #2: Chapter 8
Cards in this deck (20)
- 1Memory-The persistence of learning over time, through storage and retrieval
- 2Encoding Storage Retrieval-Encoding: The info gets into our brain
-Storage: info is held in a way that allows it to be retrieved later
-Retrieval: Recalling the info, producing it in a form similar to what was encoded - 3Sensory Memory-Recorded by senses and brief
- 4Short term/long term memory-Some info is processed into short term memory by rehearsal, if it is practiced enough it moves to long term memory.
- 5Working Memory-More goes into short term memory besides rehersal
- 6Automatic Memory-info goes straight from sensory to long term
- 7Effortful vs automatic processing-Effortful: Studying, a way to try to encode the info into memory and keep it
-Automatic: conditioned associations, info about time, space, and frequency - 8Implicit vs explicit memory-Implicit: memories that are unconscious; don't have to practice (Non-declarative)
-Explicit: facts and memories that we can consciously know/recall - 9Iconic vs Echoic memory-Iconic: fleeting sensory memory of visual stimuli
-Echoic: Fleeting sensory memory of auditory stimuli - 10Techniques enhancing recall-Chunking: Broken into groups to memorize easier
-Mnemonics: Encode w/ images, tricks to type to remember
-Hieracarchy/categories
-Rehersal/practice - 11Testing Effect (Roediger)-Distributed practice, learn and retain more
- 12Spacing Effect-Encoding is more successful when spread out over time
- 13Self-reference effect-Relate stuff to self to remember
- 14Role of the Hippocampus in learning-Encoding/storage, it is consolidating
-When we sleep, it gives the hippocampus time to process the info - 15Frontal Lobes-Retrieval/use of explicit memories
- 16Cerebellum-Forms/stores conditioned responses
- 17Basal Gangilia-Deep brain structures involved in motor movement, formation of our memories for skills
- 18Effects of stress on memory-Emotions trigger hormones, these hormones trigger the amygdala.
-This increases memory forming activity in the amygdala - 19Retrieval Cues: Priming Context Dependent MemoryPriming: Activation of particular associations in memory
Context Dependent Memory: Improved recall of specific info when the context at encoding/retrieval are the same - 20Retrieval cues continued: State-dependent memory Mood-congruent memory Serial position effect-State-dependent memory: Emotions that accompany good or bad events
-Mood-congruent memory: Tendency to recall memories that are consistent w/ one's current mood
-Serial position effect: Our tendency to best recall the first and last item on a list
