Term
Definition
show Those who experience partial or total loss of memory, sometimes resulting from head trauma.  
🗑
Autobiographical Memory   show
🗑
show In Baddeley’s model of working memory, the system concerned with regulating the flow of information from sensory storage, processing it for long-term storage, and retrieving it from long-term storage.  
🗑
show A memory process whereby related items are grouped together into more easily remembered “chunks” (for example, a prefix and four digits for a phone number, rather than seven unrelated digits).  
🗑
Declarative Memory   show
🗑
show A theory of forgetting that recognizes that what is remembered is often changed or reconstructed.  
🗑
show Twins that result from two separate eggs and that are therefore fraternal (nonidentical).  
🗑
show A memory strategy that involves forming new associations, linking with other ideas or images.  
🗑
Encoding   show
🗑
show A measure of magnetic fields at the scalp relating to neural activity typically associated with specific stimuli.  
🗑
Event-Related Potential (ERP)    show
🗑
show Another label for declarative memory  
🗑
Fading Theory   show
🗑
show Describes the possibility that a memory—especially of a highly traumatic event—may be a memory of something that has not actually occurred.  
🗑
show Unusually vivid and persistent recollections of the details surrounding first learning about an event that is highly emotionally significant.  
🗑
Flynn Effect   show
🗑
Forgetting   show
🗑
show A type of test usually used to measure intelligence that may be given to large groups at one time.  
🗑
show Also called nondeclarative memory. Refers to the memories that cannot be verbalized—for example, how to stay upright on a bicycle.  
🗑
show A test, usually used to measure intelligence, that can be given to only one individual at a time.  
🗑
Intelligence quotient (IQ)    show
🗑
show A mnemonic system that requires forming linked visual images of what is to be recalled.  
🗑
Loci system   show
🗑
show A type of memory where material is processed so that it remains available for recall over a long period.  
🗑
Memory   show
🗑
Mnemonic aids   show
🗑
Mnemonist    show
🗑
Modal Model of Memory   show
🗑
show Twins resulting from the division of a single fertilized egg— hence identical twins.  
🗑
show Unconscious, nonverbalizable effects of experience such as might be manifested in acquired motor skills or in classical conditioning.  
🗑
Nonsense Syllables   show
🗑
Normal Distribution   show
🗑
Organization   show
🗑
show A powerful mnemonic system in which previously learned associations between numbers and mental images are used to recall large numbers of items forward, backward, or in any order.  
🗑
Phonological Loop   show
🗑
Proactive Interference   show
🗑
show A memory strategy involving simple repetition, the principal means of maintaining items in short-term memory.  
🗑
Reliability   show
🗑
show A Freudian term for the process by which intensely negative or frightening experiences are lost from conscious memory.  
🗑
show Stimuli like sounds, words, locations, smells, and so on that facilitate recall (that remind the individual of something).  
🗑
Retrieval-Cue Failure   show
🗑
Retroactive Interference   show
🗑
Semantic Memory   show
🗑
show A memory stage in which material is available for recall for a matter of seconds; defines our immediate consciousness.  
🗑
Triarchic Theory of Successful Intelligence   show
🗑
Validity   show
🗑
Visual-Spatial Sketch Pad   show
🗑
show The Baddeley model describing how information is processed in short-term memory by means of a control system (central executive system) and systems that maintain verbal material (phonological loop) and visual material (visual-spatial sketch pad).  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
