| Short Term Memory | Working memory that briefly holds a few things |
| Long Term Memory | Limitless memory that holds most things, relatively permanent |
| Working Memory | Limitless memory typically associated with planning |
| Automatic Processing | Processing done without realizing (EX: Walking to your next class without having to think about where it is) |
| Effortful Processing | A mental activity requiring overcoming resistance and trying |
| Primacy Effect | The first word said is most likely to be remembered |
| Recency Effect | The last word said in a list is likely to be remembered |
| Rehearsal | Needed to form a memory, caused by repetition |
| Spacing Effect | Remembering best when info is spaced apart |
| Serial Position Effect | How you remember specific things about a list |
| Semantic Encoding | Learning new info from working memory to long term memory |
| Mnemonics | A device used to assist in memory |
| Chunking | Remembering large parts by separating it into pieces |
| Iconic Memory | Brief retention of visual stimulus after stimulus ends |
| Echoic Memory | Retention of auditory information for only a brief period after the stimulus ends |
| Long Term Potentiation (LTP) | An increase in synapses based on recent patterns |
| Flashbulb Memory | Explicit memory tied to strong emotion |
| Amnesia | A partial or complete loss of memory |
| Implicit Memory | Memory for an event that is recalled unconsciously (procedural) (cerebellum) |
| Explicit Memory | Long term that can consciously be recalled (personal) (hippocampus) |
| Hippocampus | Part of the brain that is used for declarative memory and learning |
| Recall | To remember previously stored information and reproduce it |
| recognition | Awareness and familiarity when presented with previously interpreted stimuli |
| Relearning | When learning information that was previously learned, you will learn it more quickly the second time |
| Priming | The effect in which recent experience of a stimulus will help to later process similar stimulus |
| Mood Congruent Memory | It is easier to recall memories that match one’s emotional state |
| Prospective Memory | Remembering to do something in the future |
| Proactive Interference | Old information interfering with the process of learning new (similar) information |
| Retroactive Interference | The process of learning new information that interferes with old (similar) information, this specifically is forgetting |
| Misinformation Effect | Phenomenon where a person will remember misleading information provided by one person rather than the accurate information they were presented with earlier |
| Source Amnesia | Forgetting where or how you learn information, but remembering the information well |
