20. Memory and Processing Flashcards
learning that has persisted over time (revival)
memory
memory of facts and experiences that can consciously know and declare (declarative memory)
explicit memory
retention independent of conscious recollection (non-declarative memory) (automatic)
implicit memory
sweaty palms b/c of the dentist (a type of CC) is an example of _______ ______
implicit memory
a measure of memory in which the person must retrieve info learned earlier
recall
a measure of memory in which the person needs to only identify items learned perviously
recognition
a measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again
relearning
What are the three stages to store and retrieve memories?
- encoding
- storage
- retrieval
processing of info into the memory system by extracting meaning (getting info into our brain through rehearsal)
encoding
the process of retaining encoded info over time
storage
the process of getting info out of the memory system
retrieval
no single part of the brain store memories they are assorted into many parts of the ________ ________
cerebral cortex (association areas)
helps process explicit memories for storage (save button for explicit memories)
hippocampus
what happens when the 1. __________ is damaged?
- hippocampus
2. left damaged, verbal info; right damaged, visual designs and locations
the 1. _________ functions as a loading dock where the brain 2. _______ and 3. _______ info.
- hippocampus
- registers
- holds
CC center (if damaged, cannot develop new certain developed reflexes, like anticipating a puff after a tone)
cerebellum
encoding that requires attention and effort
effortful processing
memorizing vocab for a quiz or test
effortful processing
unconscious encoding of incidental info, such as space, time, and of well-learned info such as word meanings
automatic processing
encoding on the basic level based on the structure or appearance of words
shallow processing
encodes semantically, based on the meaning of the word; tends to yield the best retention
deep processing
struggle to memorize info that is not 1. _________ and that i is why it’s best to learn things as complete 2. ________ and 3. ______ it to us
- meaningful
- systems
- apply
greatly increased 1. ________ when we 2. _______; and basically its better as 3. _______ for both 4. ______ and 5. _______ with more memories
- retention
- focus
- adults
- focus
- memories
the process of processing many diff. aspects of a problem simultaneously
parallel processing
short-term memory that focuses on conscious, active processing of info + of info retrieved from long-term memory
working memory
