mood-congruent memory

tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood

processing information into the memory system - for example elaborating by meaning and using visualization

retention of encoded information over time

process of getting information out of memory storage

immediate, initial recording of sensory information

memory that holds plus or minus 7 items, like a phone number while dialing, before information is stored or forgotten

another name for short-term memory that focuses on active processing of the information

memory measure that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time

unconscious encoding of information such as space, time, and frequency,and of well-learned information, such as word meanings

memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare (Also called "Declarative Memory")

conscious repetition of information to maintain in consciousness or to encode for storage

distributed study or practice leading to better long-term retention than through massed study or practice practice.

serial position effect

tendency to recall best the last and first items in a list

the activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in memory

encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words

encoding of sound, especially the sound of words

misinformation effect

incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event

organizing items into manageable units

long term potentiation (LTP)

increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a nueral basis for learning and memory

retention that is independant of conscious recollection. Also called "Procedural Memory"
