1. Different Kinds of Memory

   • Explicit/ Declarative
     • Flashbulb
     • Frontal Lobes
     • Hippocampus
   • Implicit/ Procedural
     • Unconscious
     • Automatic
     • Cerebellum
     • Basal Ganglia
   • Sensory
   • Short-term/ Working
   • Long-term/ Permanent
   • Amnesia
     • Anterogade
     • Retrogade
     • Childhood/ Infantile

2. Stages of Information Processing and Memory

   • Encoding (acquisition)
     • Automatic Processing
       • Space
       • Time
       • Frequency
     • Efforful Processing
       • Ebbinghaus
       • Meaningful Chunks
     • Shallow/Deep Processing
     • Two-Track Mind
     • Echoic/Iconic Memory
   • Storage (retention)
     • Synapses
     • Cortex
     • Karl Lashley
     • LTP
       • Glutamate/ CREB
     • Consolidation
       • Hippocmpus
     • Mnemonics
   • Retrieval
     • Context
       • Context Effects
       • Deja vu
     • Mood-Congruent
       • Amygdala
     • Failure of Retrieval
       • Proactive Interference
       • Retroactive Interference
     • Constructing "False" Memories
       • Source Misattribution/ Source Amnesia
       • Misinformation Effect
       • Imagining

3. Measuring Memory

   • Recall
     • Fill-in-the-Blank
   • Relearning
     • Testing Effect
     • Spacing Effect
   • Recognition
     • Multiple Choice

4. Memory Failure/ Forgetting

   • a result of...
     • (1) Poor Encoding: The info was never stored
     • (2) Storage: The memory fades over time and was not transferred to permanent memory
     • (3) Retrieval: Information was encoded, it was stored but cannot now be retrieved
   • Failure of Retrieval
   • Storage Decay

5. Childhood Trauma

   • Repression of Memories
   • Sexual Abuse
