PSY 150 Chapter 8

QuestionAnswer
Encoding When your brain changes what you see, hear, or learn into a special code you can remember, such as pictures, sounds, or meanings.
Storage When your brain saves the information so you can use it later.
Retrieval When you find the memory and bring it back to your mind, like looking for a book on a shelf.
Sensory Memory A short memory that holds what you see or hear for just a second.
Short-Term Memory Holds a little bit of information for a short time, like remembering a phone number just long enough to dial it.
Long-Term Memory When your brain keeps information for a long time, like your birthday or how to ride a bike.
Repeating Saying something over and over. It helps a little but can be boring and not very strong.
Making it Meaningful (Elaborative Rehearsal) Connecting new things to stuff you already know. For example, if you learn a new word, think about what it means or use it in a sentence.
Using Memory Tricks (Mnemonics) Fun ways to remember, like using acronyms (words made from first letters, like ROY G BIV for rainbow colors) or silly phrases (“Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” for math order).
Implicit Memory Things you remember without thinking, like how to ride a bike or tie your shoes.
Explicit Memory Things you remember and can talk about, like your last birthday or facts you learned in school.
Procedural Memory Remembering how to do things, like playing a game or brushing your teeth.
Episodic Memory Remembering special events, like a fun trip or a birthday party.
Semantic Memory Remembering facts and information, like the names of animals or the capital of a country.
Retrospective Memory Remembering things that already happened.

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.
