        Help!  

Term
Definition
show the persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.  
🗑
show a measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test.  
🗑
show a measure of memory in which the person identifies items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test.  
🗑
Relearning   show
🗑
Encoding   show
🗑
show the process of retaining encoded information over time.  
🗑
show the process of getting information out of memory storage  
🗑
show processing many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information process for many functions.  
🗑
show the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system.  
🗑
show activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as digits of a phone number while calling, before the information is stored or forgotten.  
🗑
show the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences.  
🗑
show a newer understanding of short-term memory that adds conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory.  
🗑
show retention of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare." (Also called declarative memory.)  
🗑
show encoding that requires attention and conscious effort.  
🗑
show unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings.  
🗑
show retention of learned skills or classically conditioned associations independent of conscious recollection. (Also called nondeclarative memory.)  
🗑
Iconic Memory   show
🗑
show a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds.  
🗑
Chunking   show
🗑
Mnemonics   show
🗑
Spacing Effect   show
🗑
show enhanced memory after retrieving, rather than simply rereading, information. Also sometimes referred to as a retrieval practice effect or test-enhanced learning.  
🗑
show encoding on a basic level, based on the structure or appearance of words.  
🗑
Deep Processing   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.
