Ch7 Memory Systems
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Primacy effect | the tendency to remember the items at the beginning of a list, represents LTM |
| Recency effect | the tendency to remember the items at the end of a list, represents STM |
| hippocampus | plays a critical role in encoding of declarative memories |
| anterograde amnesia | cannot encode new memories |
| explicit memory | responsible for your ability to recall facts, events, and connections (declarative/conscious memory) |
| episodic memory | allows you to recall specific experiences and events that happened in your life-- the " what" "when" "where" something happened |
| semantic memory | allows you to recall specific facts, knowledge that can be stated or recounted over time |
| implicit memory | refers to skills or habits that are learned but we can't consciously see how (learning how to bike, second language) |
| procedural learning | practice makes perfect, allows you to perform skills or habits (typing, baking a cake, playing piano) |
| priming | prior exposure to some stimulus, action, or idea pre-activates a perception, thought, or response |
| repetition priming | we're faster to process something that's repeated |
| associative priming | we're faster to process a word if we first get a word with which it's associated |
| perceptual priming | we're faster to process something if it looks like something else (MAP MOP) |
| conceptual priming | we're faster to process a word if it's semantically similar to another (DOG WOLF) |
| statistical learning | statistical regularities allows us to predict what will happen next |
| consolidation | the process of stabilizing memories |
| Hebb's Rule | "cells that fire together wire together" |
| long-term potentiation (LTP) | experience increases/strengthens neural and synaptic activity. |
