Class 3

Question 1

memory

Answer 1

ability to store and retrieve information over time

Question 2

encoding

Answer 2

process of transforming what we perceive, think, or feel into an enduring memory

Question 3

storage

Answer 3

process of maintaining information in memory over time

Question 4

retrieval

Answer 4

process of bringing to mind information that has been previously encoded and stored

Question 5

semantic encoding

Answer 5

process of relating new information in a meaningful way to knowledge that is already stored in memory

Question 6

visual imagery encoding

Answer 6

process of storing new information by converting it into mental pictures

Question 7

organizational encoding

Answer 7

process of categorizing information according to the relationships among a series of items

Question 8

semantic judgments, rhyme judgments, case judgments

Answer 8

semantic- think about meaning of words
rhyme- think about sound of words
case- think about appearance of words

Question 9

sensory memory

Answer 9

type of storage that holds sensory information for a few seconds or less

Question 10

iconic memory

Answer 10

fast-decaying store of visual information

Question 11

echoic memory

Answer 11

fast-decaying store of auditory information

Question 12

short-term memory

Answer 12

type of storage that holds nonsensory information for more than a few seconds but less than a minute

Question 13

rehearsal

Answer 13

process of keeping information in short-term memory by mentally repeating it

Question 14

serial position effect

Answer 14

observation that the first few and last few items in a series are more likely to be recalled than the items in the middle

Question 15

chunking

Answer 15

combining small pieces of information into larger clusters or chunks that are more easily held in short-term memory

Question 16

working memory

Answer 16

type of short-term storage that actively maintains information

Question 17

primacy effect

Answer 17

enhanced recall of the first few items because they receive more rehearsals and are more likely to be in long-term storage

Question 18

recency effect

Answer 18

enhanced recall of the last few items due to rehearsing of items in short term

Question 19

visuo-spatial sketchbad

Answer 19

part of working memory associated with visual images

Question 20

episodic buffer

Answer 20

part of working memory that integrates visual and verbal information from the subsystems into a multidimensional code

combines separated items into integrated whole, gateway to long term memory

Question 21

central executive

Answer 21

part of working memory that coordinates the subsystems and the episodic buffer

Question 22

fun chart things:
central executive

Question 23

anterograde amnesia

Answer 23

still remembers language and love for wife but thinks every experience is new (some guyo named CW)

Question 24

Atkinson-Shiffrin Model of Memory

Answer 24

sensory—>short term memory—->long term memory
attention ^ encoding l
l I
retreival

Question 25

sensory memory experiment:

the 3 rows of letters for 1/20th of a second

when they were told to recall all the letters, not much success

when it was just one row they were good

Answer 25

that’s fucked

Question 26

phonological loop (articulatory loop)

Answer 26

our memory depends on the length of the info
arabic speakers only remember 5 (plusminus 2) rather than 7 bc their words and sounds are longer

we can remember faster words
