Chapter 6.2 t/m 6.5 Flashcards
semantic network model
(model of memory organization that assumes) information is stored in the brain in a connected fashion, with concepts that are related, stored physically closer to each other, than concepts that are not highly related
episodic memory
type of declarative memory containing personal information not readily available to others, such as daily activities and events.
semantic memory
type of declarative memory containing general knowledge, such as knowledge of language and information learned in formal education.
declarative (explicit) memory
type of long-term memory containing information that is conscious and known.
anterograde amnesia
loss of memory from the point of injury or trauma forward, or the inability to form new long-term memories.
nondeclarative (implicit) memory
type of long-term memory including memory for skills, procedures, habits, and conditioned responses. These memories are not conscious but are implied to exist because they affect conscious behavior.
elaborative rehearsal
a method of transferring information from STM into LTM by making that information meaningful in some way.
long-term memory (LTM)
the system of memory into which all the information is placed to be kept more or less permanently.
maintenance rehearsal
practice of saying some information to be remembered over and over in one’s head in order to maintain it in short- term memory.
working memory
an active system that processes the information in short-term memory.
selective attention
the ability to focus on only one stimulus from among all sensory input.
short-term memory (STM)
the memory system in which information is held for brief periods of time while being used.
echoic memory
auditory sensory memory, lasting only 2–4 seconds.
eidetic imagery
the ability to access a visual memory for 30 seconds or more.
iconic memory
visual sensory memory, lasting only a fraction of a second.
