Question 5

Encoding

Answer 5

translation of information into a form that can be stored in memory
-Visual Codes, Acoustic Codes, Semantic Codes

Question 6

what are the differnt types of encoding

Answer 6

–Visual Codes, Acoustic Codes, Semantic Codes–

One person may have tried to remember them visually (using a VISUAL code) that is: you may have tried to keep a mental picture of the letters in your mind.
Another person may have tried to remember the letters would to read the list to yourself and repeat it several times either out loud or silently. This is an example of ACOUSTIC Codes.
one person may have even tried to remember these letters by attempting to make sense of these letters, or figure out what they mean. SEMANTIC Example may be finding a word that begin with each of the letters in the list and then make up a sentence using those words, such as, “Only Tiny Tots Feel Friendly etc. This way it may be easier to remember the phrase other than a bunch of random letters.

SEMATIC HAS BEEN SHOWN TO WORK BEST

Question 7

Storage

Answer 7

Our brains take the encoded information and place it in storage. Storage is the creation of a permanent record of information. In order for a memory to go into storage (i.e., long-term memory), it has to pass through three distinct stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and finally Long-Term Memory.

Question 8

what different Storage methoods

Answer 8

• Maintenance rehearsal - repeating
• Elaborative rehearsal - relating new information to old information.
• Organizational Systems - just like a computer you store information in files. . . And those files may have files.
  When you think of animals - you may go into your animal file and choose a file labeled birds, and with in the birds file you could recall the names of several types of birds. Your brain organizes objects according to common features.

Question 9

o State-dependent

Answer 12

memory where info is more easily retrieved when in the same physiological or emotional state as when the memory was originally learned. (ex. Happy, drugs

Question 13

Recognition -

Answer 13

recognize from a list of alternatives

” where is the captial of minisoda” A) adfkdf
B)adfla;df
C)adkfjlad;f

Question 14

• Sensory
  o Duration
  o Capacity

Answer 14

Sensory Memory - First Stage
immediate, initial recording of sensory information
* lasts .5 - 2 sec.
* unlimited capacity

Question 15

Iconic memory

Answer 15

part of sensory memory with visual memories
Is seen - then disappears rapidly - no more than a half sec.

Question 16

Echoic Memory-

Answer 16

momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli

Question 17

• Short term
  o Duration
  o Capacity

Answer 17

. Short-Term Memory - Second Stage
Memory that holds info briefly before it’s stored or forgotten (working memory)
* lasts about 18 seconds w/o rehearsal

. When you are trying to solve a math problem, the elements of the problem are in your short-term, or working memory. When you meet someone new, you put the person’s name in your short-term memory, may be by using the name or by repeating it to yourself several times.

Question 18

Interference (with example!)

Answer 18

Its when new ideas and stimuli eject existing ideas and goals from short-term memory. Walk into the kitchen to get food phone goes off and u forget why you are there.

-Good. In the college experiment, nearly 100% of the students recalled the letters. Now how about this, I’m going to give another set of letters for you to remember. When I say the the letters, start counting backward from the number 142 by threes silently in your head. For example, if the number was 156, start with 156, 153, 150, 147 etc. I repeat silently.
Ready, the letters are ZBT, now start counting from 142. Stop after 3 seconds. In college experiment about 1/2 of the students forgot. New Letters, RPH Count again (18 sec.) nearly all students forgot. 18 seconds seems to be the number of seconds most people can hold information in their short term memory.

Question 19

Primacy effect

Answer 19

tendency to recall the initial items in a series

Question 20

o Recency effect

Answer 20

tendency to recall the last item in a series

Just a familiar area to walk around and hold memories in.

Question 27

Answer 27

o Free- it’s a whole grid of letters: DO SENSES TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING- yes
o Cued- when he used the tones: IF YOUR NOT FOCUSING ON A CERTAIN AREA YOU WONT REMBER IT - No
o Delayed- interference pattern: INTERFERENCE WOULD MESS UP THE SENSORY MEORY- to some degree
