| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the three steps to processing information? | Input, central processing, and output |
| What is input? | what we receive, your 5 senses are working 24/7 |
| What is central processing? | the area in the brain where we take the info and decide where we store it or sort it |
| what is output? | pulling out info and ideas and using it |
| How to remember something/ what makes or helps up to remember something? | If It satisfies our needs, if it’s strange or new, if it's interesting to us |
| What is selective attention? | Forces us to listen to only one thing; we focus on things that matter to us |
| What is feature extraction? | Locating important characteristics of incoming input, like skimming an article. And it also depends on our experiences |
| Three ways we store information? | Sensory storage, short-term, and long-term |
| what is rehearsal and chunking and how are they different and similar? | Rehearsal keeps it in short-term until decision on long-term is made while chunking helps you hold more in short term, items can be anything like numbers or things |
| Types of memory | Semantic, episodic, procedural, and Tulving/ Squire |
| What is a semantic memory | the knowledge of rules, languages, words, and meaning |
| what is episodic memory | the memory of our life experiences |
| what is procedural memory | involved in the performance of different actions and skills |
| E. Tulving | said we have two types of memory semantic and episodic |
| L. Squire | declarative is episodic and semantic together, using words and pictures. Procedural memories we have of how we perform certain skills |
| The key to retrieval? | organization |
| what is recognition? | knowing a name when you hear it, being given choices helps our memory, recognition is linked to your categories |
| what is recall? | the act of accurately bringing back information from memory and reconstructing it accurately, thing can be distorted or enhanced by attitudes and experiences |
| what is confabulation? | filing in the gaps of memory by making it up, it's not lying but could be wrong but it also makes logical sense |
| Eidetic memory | having photographic memory, 5% of all children have this |
| Herman Ebbinghaus? | came up with the idea that your response speed indicates your memory speed |
| Primary vs Recency? | Primary is recalling the first items better than the middle and recency is recalling the last items better than the middle |
| Three parts of forgetting? | decay, interference, or repression |
| what prevents interference? | Overlearning |
| what is repression? | when trauma is too severe to be kept in conscious memory, and is removed by repression/dissociation or both |
| Mnemonic devices? | Help with remembering things, ex: PEMDAS |
| When we go to think it is broken down into 4 units (most basic to most complex) | Image, Symbol, Concept, and Rule |
| 3 kinds of thinking? | directed, Non directed, and Metacognition |
| what is metacognition? | thinking about thinking or thinking about how you are going to approach doing something, coming up with strategies |
| what is a Set? | a strategy that becomes a habit, problem with a set is rigidity |
| what is flexibility? | ability to overcome rigidity, can you think outside the box, can you break set |
| what is recombination? | you can arrange elements in a new way that can make you think up something original |
| what is Insight? | the “aha” moment, sudden emergence of elements by recombination |
