priming   involves an unconscious influence of an experience on subsequent thoughts or behaviours  
🗑
word-stem completion task   buying a watermelon at superstore the other day: then once you get home, and see the watermelon, it stimulates a flashback of the things that happened at the grocery store; all because of the neurons that have fired together on that grocery day

🗑
consolidation   binding together of strong connections between pattern of neural firing that is associated with that experience (to remember an event over a long period of time

example of retrograde amnesia   when a person gets into a car accident, the are unable to remember the last few moments that occurred prior to their accident  
🗑
what factors do forgetting and remembering depend on?   factors present at encoding and retrieval  
🗑
rote learning   merely repeating information over and over with a goal of remembering for a long term; but not actively doing it  
🗑
craik and watkin's study   the amount of time repeating the words had no effect on the likelihood of remembering them  
🗑
maintenance rehearsal   supports keeping information active in working memory; prolonging exposure to information by repeating it. Poor way of transferring information to LTM  
🗑
mindless repetition and rote learning   maintenance rehearsal  
🗑
elaborative rehearsal   thinking about the information we want to remember later in as many different ways as possible at the level of meaning.  
🗑
shallow processing   thinking about the appearance of the word  
🗑
example of shallow processing   recognizing the capital letters and the spelling of the word  
🗑
intermediate processing   thinking about what the word sounds like  
🗑
deep processing   thinking about the meaning of the word  
🗑

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.
