Psych Memory

TermDefinition
2 types of long term memories explicit & implicit
2 types of explicit memories episodic & semantic
episodic memory recall of life events/autobiographical knowledge
semantic memory facts
what do explicit memories take to create conscious effort
implicit memories procedural (well-learned tasks) & conditioned associations
atkinson & shiffrin classic (explicit) memory model sensory memory, short-term memory, & long-term memory
sensory memory visual & auditory, duration capacity is seconds or less, & storage capacity is relatively large
short-term memory duration capacity without rehearsal is seconds & storage capacity is 5-9 items
short-term memory is also referred to as working memory
long-term memory duration capacity is relatively unlimited & storage capacity is relatively unlimited
3 steps to forming a memory encode, store, & retrieve
encode process of getting info into memory system
store retention of encoded info over time
retrieve process of getting info out of memory storage
what does limited attention capacity lead to encoding failure
shallow level superficial features (implicit)
examples of info processed at shallow level word's letters or sound
deep level semantic (meaning)
examples of info processed at deep level word's meaning
personally meaning info is processed at deepest level
personally meaningful info gets ___ than less personally meaningful information more attention (better encoded)
in long-term memory, memories are stored by web of associations
when encoding new info, we associate it with other bits of info in our surroundings (sights, smells, mood) & other bits of info in long-term memory (more bits, more meaningful)
retrieval cues bits of info that when we come across our memory will be activated
retrieval failure memory that has been encoded & stored but we don't have enough cues to retrieve it when you need it

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
