BioCog 7AB long-term memory II Flashcards
1
Q
recognition triggers…
A
- …response selection
2
Q
categorization
A
- neccessary and sufficient properties
- can be blurry around the edges
3
Q
prototype
A
- most average or central object
4
Q
graded representation
A
grade of similarity to the prototype
- tested on rating scale
5
Q
sentece verification
A
- to test representativeness of an object
- measured by reaction time
6
Q
priming
A
(here)
- participants have to decide whether two colours are the same
- hear “green”
- are quicker to decide for green circles
7
Q
tendency towards prototype
A
- Bartlett 1932
- people see mask
- have to draw it from memory at different timepoints
- tend to draw a face rather than the mask over time
- also explained by parellel ditributed porcessing
8
Q
advantages prototype approach
A
- efficient storage
9
Q
disadvantage prototype approach
A
- are prototypes stores seperatly?
10
Q
exemplar approach
A
- we remember every object we ever experienced
- prototypes are only genereted when asked to do so
11
Q
advantages exemplar approach
A
- no categorization problem
- everything is remembered
12
Q
disadvantages exemplar approach
A
- required huge storage capacity
13
Q
evidence for structure of semantic memory
A
- one recalled fact often triggers mulptiple others
- mistakes are often near-misses
14
Q
hierarchical network
A
- pyramide like structure
- every concept has all properties of the concept above it and adds one extra thing
- probably false, cannot deal with typicality problem
15
Q
multiple trace model
A
- a memory trace is created with each interaction
- forgetting by traces fading
- recognition by collective allocation of old traces
- explains typicality effect by exposure
