Question
Answer
Memory   Process by which we encode, store, and retrieve info  
🗑
What r the 3 stages of remembering?   Encoding, Storage, & Retrieval  
🗑
Sensory Memory   Operates as a kind of snapshot that stores info. 4 a brief moment in time. (1 sec) (Lasts only an instant.)  
🗑
Two kinds of sensory memory   Iconic Memory & Echoic Memory  
🗑
Iconic Memory   Reflects info. from the VISUAL syst.  
🗑
Echoic memory   Stores auditory info. coming from EARS.  
🗑
Sensory memory   1st stage of the 3 stages of memory  
🗑
The 2 parts of declarative memory are   episodic and semantic  
🗑
Amnesia memory loss   occurs w/out other mental difficulties  
🗑
Schemas   Organized bodies of info stored in memory that bias the way new info is: Interpreted, Stored, & Recalled  
🗑
Working memory (/short-term)   Memory syst. that holds info for a short time while actively rehearsing that info  
🗑
Rehearsal   Repetition of info that has entered short-term memory  
🗑
Explicit memory   Involves intent - intentional or conscious recollection of info  
🗑
Interference occurs when:   The instructor keeps talking as you are trying to write down what she just said  
🗑
Recognition   The retrieval cue that involves seeing a stimulus and determining if that stimulus has been seen before  
🗑
Proactive interference   Info learned EARLIER disrupts the recall of newer material - progresses in time  
🗑
Retroactive interference   Material that was learned LATER disrupts the retrieval of info that was learned EARLEIR - retrogresses in time  
🗑
Encoding   The initial process of encoding information in a form usable to memory  
🗑
Reconstructed memory    
🗑
Decay   loss of info through nonuse  
🗑
Rehearsal increases the:   length of time that info can be held in short-term memory

🗑
Priming   Exposure to a word or concept later makes it easier to recall related info  
🗑
Hippocampus   Located below the cortex and important for the consolidation of memory - organizing memories then passing on to cerebral cortex  
🗑
Amygdala   Involved with memories involving emotion (vivid emotion, feelings,)  
🗑
Consolidation   Memories become fixed and stable in long-term memory - they're organized and filed in the long-term memory  
🗑
Cultural differences can be seen in   the way info is acquired and rehearsed  
🗑
