Term
Definition
Memory   show
🗑
Encoding   show
🗑
Storage   show
🗑
Retrieval   show
🗑
show Model of memory that assumes that the processing of the information for memory storage in similar to the way a computer processes memory in a series of three stages.  
🗑
show Model of memory that assumes that information that is more "deeply processed" - or processed according to its meaning, rather than just the sound or physical characteristics of the word or words - will be remembered more efficiently and for longer period.  
🗑
Sensory Memory   show
🗑
Iconic Memory   show
🗑
Capacity (of sensory/iconic memory)   show
🗑
show Information that has just entered iconic memory will be pushed out very quickly by new information a process called masking.  
🗑
show The (rare) ability to access a visual memory for 30 seconds or more.  
🗑
Echoic Memory   show
🗑
Capacity (of eidetic/echoic memory)   show
🗑
show Lasts longer than iconic; about 2-4 seconds.  
🗑
show The memory system in which information is held for brief periods of time while being used.  
🗑
Selective Attention   show
🗑
show Memory test in which a series of numbers is read to subjects  
🗑
show The capacity of STM is about 7 items or pieces of info. plus or minus 2 items - or from five to nine bits of information. So the "magical number" is 7.  
🗑
Chunking   show
🗑
show Practice of saying some info. to be remembered in one's head in order to maintain it in short-term memory (STM's tend to be encoded in auditory form).  
🗑
show Short-term memory  
🗑
show Interference  
🗑
Long-term memory (LTM)   show
🗑
Elaborative Rehearsal   show
🗑
Procedural (nondeclarative) Memory   show
🗑
Declarative Memory   show
🗑
show Loss of memory from the point of injury or trauma or the inability to form new LTM's. Usually does NOT affect procedural LTM.  
🗑
Procedural Memory (often called implicit memory)   show
🗑
show All the things that people know.  
🗑
Semantic Memory   show
🗑
show Type of declarative memory containing personal information not readily available to others, such as daily activities and events.  
🗑
show Are forms of explicit memory - memory that is consciously known.  
🗑
show It is organized in terms of related meanings and concepts.  
🗑
show Model of memory organization that assumes information is stored in the brain in a connected fashion, with concepts that are related stored physically closer to each other than retrieval cue a stimulus for remembering.  
🗑
Retrieval Cue   show
🗑
Encoding Specificity   show
🗑
State-dependent learning   show
🗑
show Type of memory retrieval in which the information to be retrieved must be "pulled" from memory with very few external cues - filling in blanks on a application.  
🗑
show Recall has failed (at least temporarily).  
🗑
show Inability to recall info. that seems so very close to the surface of conscious thought that it feels like it is on the tip of your tongue.  
🗑
Serial Position Effect   show
🗑
Primary Effect   show
🗑
Recency Effect   show
🗑
show The ability to match of a piece of information or a stimulus to a stored image or fact.  
🗑
False Positive   show
🗑
show Showed that what people see and hear about an event after the fact can easily affect the accuracy of their memories of that event.  
🗑
show Eyewitness testimony  
🗑
show Tendency of certain kinds of information to enter long-term memory with little or no effortful encoding.  
🗑
Flashbulb Memories   show
🗑
Constructive Processing   show
🗑
show The tendency to falsely believe, through revision of older memories to include newer information, that one could have correctly predicted the outcome of an event.  
🗑
Misinformation Effect   show
🗑
show The creation of inaccurate or false memories through the suggestion of others, often while the person is under hypnosis.  
🗑
show Evidence suggests that false memories cannot be created for just any kind of memory. The memories must be at least plausible,  
🗑
Curve of forgetting   show
🗑
show Will produce better retrieval than massed practice.  
🗑
Encoding Failure   show
🗑
Memory Trace   show
🗑
Decay   show
🗑
show Another name for decay, assuming that memories that are not used will eventually decay and disappear.  
🗑
Memory after many years   show
🗑
Proactive Interference   show
🗑
show Memory retrieval problem that occurs when newer info. prevents or interferes with the retrieval of older info.  
🗑
Proactive Interference   show
🗑
Consolidation   show
🗑
show Area of the brain responsible for the formation of LTM's.  
🗑
Retrograde Amnesia   show
🗑
Anterograde Amnesia   show
🗑
Infantile Amnesia   show
🗑
show The memory for events and facts related to one's personal life story (usually after age 3).  
🗑
show Anterograde amnesia, although retrograde amnesia can also occur as the disease progresses.  
🗑
Are there drugs to help amnesia/Alzheimer's?   show
🗑


   

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.
