16
Q

Autobiographical memory

A

Memory for specific events from a person’s life, which can include both episodic and semantic components.

17
Q

Personal semantic experience

A

Semantic components of autobiographical memories.

18
Q

Remember/know procedure

A

Subjects are presented with a stimulus they have encountered before and are asked to indicate remember, or know if the stimulus seems familiar but they don’t remember the stimulus earlier.

19
Q

Semanticization of remote memories

A

Loss of episodic details for memories of long-ago events.

20
Q

Constructive episodic simulation hypothesis

A

The hypothesis proposed by Schacter and Addis that episodic memories are extracted and recombined to construct simulations of future events.

21
Q

Explicit memory

A

Memory that involves conscious recollection of events of facts that we have learned in the past.

22
Q

Implicit memories

A

Memories that occur when an experience affects a persons behaviour, even though the person is not aware that he or she has had the experience.

23
Q

Procedural memories

A

Memory for how to carry out highly practiced skills. Procedural memory is a type of implicit memory because although people can carry out a task they cannot explain how to do it.

24
Q

Expert-induced amnesia

A

Amnesia that occurs because well-learned procedural memories do not require attention.

25
Priming
A change in response to a stimulus caused by the previous presentation of the same or a similar stimulus.
26
Repetition priming
When an initial presentation of a stimulus affects the persons response to the same stimulus when it is presented later.
27
Propaganda effect
People are more likely to rate statements they have read or heard before as being true, just because of prior exposure to the statement.
28
Classical conditioning
1. A neutral stimulus package hay initially does not result in a response and 2. A conditioning stimulus that does result in a response ( Watson founds behaviourism)
29
Encoding
The process of acquiring information and transferring it into memory.
