Chapter 7 B Flashcards
Priming?
using cues to stimulate memory retrieval..
without conscious awareness of the connection between cue and stored memory
Encoding specificity principle:
The encoding specificity principle is the general principle that matching the encoding contexts of information at recall assists in the retrieval of episodic memories
What is elaborative rehearsal?
examples of something
-good for studying
T/F if your in a good mood it is easy to remember happy times?
True
T/F if your in a bad mood it is easy to remember to remember bad or poor times?
True
Prospective memory?
remember to remember
What is continuous monitoring?
rehearsing to hold important information in mind
Recall?
technique for retrieving explicit memories
Recognition?
remembering items previously learned
What is the order for making a memory?
Sensory input -> sensory memory -> (attention) -> working memory -> (encoding) -> long-term memory
What do the hippocampus and amygdala do for long term memory?
used for memory encoding
What is Retrograde Amnesia?
inability to remember prior events
What is Anterograde Amnesia?
inability to form new long term memory
What is memory transience?
loss of memory
What is the forgetting curve?
rapid decay of memory
What is proactive-interference?
an old memory disrupts formation of a new one
What is retroactive-interference
new prevents retrieval of old information
What is the serial position effect?
ease of remembering something depends in part upon position in a sequence
What is primary effect
relatively easy to remember the first items in a list
What is absent mindedness?
forgetting information because attention was shifted elsewhere
Blocking?
when something is stored in LTM can’t be recalled
tip-of-the0tongue phenomenon?
form of blocking
situational cues are close but not quite enough to match your stored memory
Misattribution?
memory’s are retrieved. .. but contains false details
Suggestibility?
memory distortion that can occur due to priming by another source
