Psych Memory
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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 |
