Chapter 5 Test Flashcards
(33 cards)
the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information
Memory
A measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, like fill-in-the-blank
recall
a person need only identify items learned, as on a multiple-choice test
recognition
assess the amount of time saved when learning material again
relearning
the processing of information into the memory system- for example, by extracting meanin
encoding
the retention of encoded information over time
storage
the process of getting information out of memory storage
retrieval
immediate brief recording of sensory information in the memory system
sensory memory
a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photo-graphic or picture-image memory lasting more than a few tenths of a second
iconic memory
a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds
echoic memory
The Sensory Registers have virtually unlimited capacity but a rapid _____ of information
decay
Attention selects some information for further processing
Initial Processing
What is the chunking limit for STM?
5 to 10 items
1.5 to 2 seconds
If you have a problem with encoding you probably have a
learning disability
There are limited benefits to simply repeating information over and over
Rote Reherseal
How do you get info?
Encoding
How do you retain info?
Storage
How do you get info back out?
Retrieval
Memory is _____ that has persisted over time
learning
Linking STM information to LTM information is more beneficial
Elaborative Rehearsal
memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices
mnemonics
A Peg-Word, chunking and unique associations are all
Mnemonics
What is the SQ3R?
Survey Question Read Retrieve Review
_____ is crucial in memory transfer and consolidation
Hippocampus
