Q

Dual-coding hypothesis

A

Information that can be coded verbally and visually is better remembered than only verbal information, eg. (dog vs keep)

Q

Elaborative Rehearsal

A

Adding to the information, what does the word mean, how does the word relate to know concepts, what does word remind you of (imagery)

16
Q

Model of 3 systems

A

peep model

17
Q

Sensory Memory

A

Briefly holds sensory information

18
Q

Iconic store (memory)

A

holds visual information (fraction of a second)

19
Q

Echoic store (memory)

A

holds auditory information (2 or more seconds)

20
Q

Short Term Memory

A

Temporarily stores and processes a limited amount of information

21
Q

Working Memory

A

Same thing but active and more capacity, can manipulate info, 20-30 seconds.

22
Q

Control Processess

A

Maintenance rehearsal: simple repetition
Elaborative Rehearsal: focus on meaning (more effective)

23
Q

Associative Networks

A

Theory that memory can be represented as a network of associated concepts; nodes. (peep graph on Donald)

24
Long-Term Memory
Storage of information that last from minutes to forever
25
Serial Position Effect
Describes the relationship between a words position in a list and its probability of recall *Primacy* effect (remember from beginning) *Recency* effect (remember what was most recent.)
26
Implicit Memory
Memory that is expressed through past experiences, unconscious or automatic memories (eg. Driving, riding a bike, skill behaviour)
27
Procedural Memory
Cannot be verbalized, skills and actions (eg. walking)
28
Classical Conditioning
Learning by association, 2 different stimuli
29
Explicit Memory
Memory that is consciously retrieved
30
Declarative Memory
Can be verbalized, consist of *Episodic* : personal experiences; episodes *Semantic* : general factual knowledge
31
Retrieval
Process of transferring information from long-term memory back into working memory (consciousness)
32
Retrieval Cues
Any stimulus that helps/promotes memory recall.
33
Retrieval Cues
Any stimulus that helps/promotes memory recall.
34
Flashbulb Memories
Memory for the circumstances in which you first learned about a very surprising and emotionally arousing event (eg. National Disaster memories)
34
Flashbulb Memories
Memory for the circumstances in which you first learned about a very surprising and emotionally arousing event (eg. National Disaster memories)
35
Encoding specificty principle
Retrieval can be increased by matching the conditions at retrieval to the conditions that existed at encoding
36
Context Dependent Memory
The phenomenon that is typically easier to remember something in the same environment in which it was originally learned or experienced (eg scuba diver graph peep)
37
State Dependent Memory
Learning is associated with a particular internal state, (eg. studying while exercising)
38
Mood congruent Recall
Tendency to recall information or events that are congruent with our mood. Different from memory dependant memory
39
Dementia
Refers to impaired memory and other cognitive deficits that accompany brain degeneration and interfere with normal function
