Chapter 13 Flashcards
The view that developmental changes continue beyond adulthood, period continues to change and adapt throughout their entire lives.
life span approach to development
A method for investigating cognition in infants using a mobile hanging over a young infants crib. A ribbon connects the infants ankle and the mobile so that the infants kicks will make the the mobile move. Researchers can test an infants memory by determining the amount of time that can elapse between the original learning and the infants recall of the kicking response
Conjugate Reinforcement Technique
When learning new material the situation in which the learner distributes her or his practices over time, this learning is more effective then____
Spaced Learning, massed learning
When learning new material the situation in which the learner practices the material all at the same time by cramming this learning strategy is called cramming it is less effective then ___
Mass Learning/ Spaced learning
Memory for experiences and information related to oneself._____memory usually includes a verbal narrative. Research in this area typically examines recall for events that happen outside of the laboratory.
Autobiographical Memory
A simple well structures sequence of events in a specific order. ___ are usually associated with a highly familiar activity.
Script
The process of trying to identify the origin of a particular memory.
Source Monitoring
Intentional goal oriented mental activities that a person performs in order to improve encoding and retrieval of information in memory.
Memory strategies
The problem of not using memory strategies effectively common in young children.
Utilization Deficiency
Remembering that one needs to do something in the future such as buying an item on the way home from class.
Prospective Memory
A memory task in which participants are instructed to remember some information later a recall or recognition test requires them to intentionally retrieve that previous learned information.
Explicit Memory Task
An indirect measure of memory. Participants see the material (usually a series of words or pictures) Later during the test phase they are instructed to complete a cognitive task that does not directly ask for either recall or recognition previous experience with the material facilitates performance on this task.
Implicit Memory Task
A memory unit that consist of several components which are strongly associated with one another.
Chunk
A reduced slow of responding on cognitive tasks, often observed in elderly individuals.
Cognitive Slowing
That wasnt as much fun as i thought it was gonna be is an example of because she made sense of her experience.
metacogntion
looking time, own, race bias are examples of
Attention Patterns
In operant conditioning terms the response is _____ and the reinforcement is the _____
a foot kicking, the movement of the mobile.
Conjugate reinforcement test are especially appealing to infants between the months of _____
2-6 months
what are two research techniquest that demonstrate infants memory skills
Recognizing mother, conjugate reinforecenement technique\
Memory is often measured in terms of ____ or the number of items that can be correctly recalled in order, immediately after presentation.
