Behavioral Science 3.2

Question 1

Automatic processing

Answer 1

When many pieces of information are gained without effort

Question 2

Controlled processing

Answer 2

Actively gathering information putting in effort to develop memories

Question 3

Semantic encoding

Answer 3

Building memory by putting something in a meaningful context

Question 4

Self reference effect

Answer 4

Build the strongest memories when putting it in the context of an experience in Our own lives

Question 5

Method of Loci

Answer 5

Remembering things based off of previously remembered the visual. Putting things that need to be remembered on a memorized path through your home.

Question 6

Peg words

Answer 6

Associating number with an item through rhyme

Question 7

whole report

Answer 7

Characteristic of short term visual memory that allows subject to recall only part of a list before forgetting the entire list

Question 8

Partial report

Answer 8

The characteristic of visual memory that allows subject to completely memorize a small number of items on the list before forgetting. this shows that the body has the ability to take in a large amount of visual information but only store it for a short period of time.

Question 9

Short term memory

Answer 9

Housed in the hippocampus, and can’t remember around seven pieces of data for about 30 seconds

Question 10

Working memory

Answer 10

Allowance for the storage of a few pieces of information for manipulation over the span of short term memory

Question 11

Elaborative. Rehearsal

Answer 11

Association of information with previously stored knowledge.

Question 12

Implicit memory

Answer 12

Skills and conditioned responses

Question 13

Explicit memory

Answer 13

Memories that require conscious recall

Question 14

Semantic memory

Answer 14

Memories that are facts and information

Question 15

Episodic memory

Answer 15

Memories of experiences

Question 16

Retrieval

Answer 16

Demonstrating that something has been learned and retained

Question 17

Recognition

Answer 17

Identifying a piece of information that was previously learned

Question 18

Relearning an it’s benefits

Answer 18

Relearning is much faster than the initial learning, and spacing relearning is effective for long term information storage

Question 19

Priming

Answer 19

Recall Is aided by first presenting a word or phrase close to the desired memory

Question 20

State dependent memory

Answer 20

Facts or tasks or more accurately recalled during the state in which they were learned. Ie. sober or intoxicated

Question 21

serial position effect

Answer 21

Items are better stored in memory based on their order that they were presented

Question 22

Primacy and recency effect

Answer 22

The first few pieces of information and last few pieces of information are better stored in the memory than those in between

Question 23

Alzheimer’s disease

Answer 23

Marked by progressive dementia memories are lost from most recent to most distant. Cause unknown may be linked to neurofibrillary tangles and beta amyloid plaques

Question 24

Korsakoff syndrome

Answer 24

Caused by a find mean deficiency will result in retrograde and Anterograde amnesia and confabulation

Question 25

Confabulation

Answer 25

The process of creating David but fabricated memories

Question 26

Agnosia

Answer 26

Loss of ability to recognize objects people or sound

Question 27

Interference

Answer 27

Information retrieval error due to the fact that there is other information very similar to that which is trying to be received

Question 28

Proactive interference

Answer 28

Old information is interfering with the recall of new information

Question 29

Retroactive interference

Answer 29

New information causes the forgetting of old information

Question 30

Prospective memory

Answer 30

Remembering to perform a task at some point in the future

Question 31

MisInformation affect

Answer 31

Memories will be adjusted based on misinformation provided

Question 32

Source monitoring error

Answer 32

The person remembers the details of an event but confuses the context that they did not or did experience it when the opposite is true

Question 33

Neuroplasticity

Answer 33

Neural connections form very quickly in response to stimuli

Question 34

Synaptic pruning

Answer 34

Weak neural connections are broken or strong ones are bolstered

Question 35

Long term potentiation

Answer 35

As a short term memory is rehearsed or repeated neurons become more efficient at releasing neurotransmitters(builds a long term memory)
