The Brain region in the bottom right of is the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. A.temporal lobe B. Lambic system C. Parental love D. Cerebellum
D. Cerebellum
Three components of memory
Encoding
Storage
Retrieval
Three systems of memory
Short term memory
Sensory memory
Long term memory
Huge capacity; buffet of working memory
Sensory memory
Two types of sensory memory
Iconic memory
Echoing memory
Visual( less than one second)
Sensory memory
Auditory last a few seconds
Echoic memory
Capacity: people can handle 5-10 different pieces of information
Short term/ working memory
How can you increase your working memory capacity?
By chunking
Capacity: limitless
Long term memory
Name the two types of long term memory
Nondeclarative (implicit) memory
Declarative (explicit) memory
Semantic memory
Episodic memory
The common misconception that perception provides us with a perfect error free representation of reality.
Naive realism
Emotional reactions generally promote _____
Memory formation
Self serving/ self enhancement bias
Study results:
Participants led to believe that tooth brushing
If a list includes bed, snore, snooze, pillow but it would not include sleep, participants will remember the target word as having appeared on the list even though it did not appear on the list
What are two results of this study?
1) support for semantic network model of memory
2) insight regarding false memory creation
Loft is 1978- eyewitness testimony
Stop sign vs yield sign
The misinformation effect
If sensory memory is like a massive buffet of information, \_\_\_\_\_ is like the person deciding what to “eat” A. Echoic memory B. Iconic memory C. Selective attention D. Long term memory
C selective attention
The tower of Hanoi study demonstrated that \_\_\_\_\_ memory quite often remains in impaired among patients suffering from \_\_\_\_\_ amnesia. A. Declarative; retrograde B. Implicit; anterograde C. Explicit; anterograde D. Non declarative; retrograde
B. Implicit; anterograde
Auditory component of your working memory
Phonological loop
The validity of the semantic network of memory is demonstrated by the effectiveness of
A. Echoic memory and iconic memory
B. The tower of Hanoi study and neuroplasticity
C. The central executive and the phonological loop
D. Priming and elaborative rehearsal
D. Priming and elaborative rehearsal
An episode of life
Episodic
Where and when something happened into you just know
Semantic
If I talk about leaves and twigs and roots and then I ask what’s the first word that comes to your mind when I say bark? You will be more likely to say tree than dog. This is due to \_\_\_\_\_\_. A. Priming B. Naive realism C. Elaborative rehearsal D. False memory
A. Priming
If a student revues a practice exam where the answer are already highlighted the student will assume that she or he would have done really well on the exam, even if the answer were not shown. This is due to \_\_\_\_\_. A. Hindsight bias B. Naive realism C. A and be only E. A and b and c are all correct
D. A and b only
Memory is not like a photo it’s constructive bits and pieces of memory
Constructive processing
Dress-Roediger-Mcdemott paradigm
Participants memorize of unrelated words the words within each list all relate but do not include some targeted words
Immediately upon learning how a situation ends up we sincerely view our brand new understanding of the situation as having existed “all along”
Hard to know not to know
Hindsight bias
The common misconception that perception provides is with a perfect error free presentation of reality
Naive realism
The order of stuff memorize
Serial position effect
The first item in a list the first thing is easily recalled
Primacy
Most recent word is also easy to remember
Recency
Something you remember by accident when something emotion happened, you can recall the place and what you remember seeing
Automatic encoding/ flash bulb memories
Sad/ happy music while memorizing words when listening to sad music remembered sad words better, when listening to happy music remembered happy words better
State dependent leanirng
Loss of old declarative memories caused by lesions in brain or circulation problems
Retrograde amnesia
Deliberately increase retrieval cues
Elaborative rehearsal
Your visual short term memory
Visual spacious sketch pad
Failure to create new memories, normally cause by lesions to hippocampus
New declarative memories cannot be formed, couldn’t remember names, places or people
Anterograde amnesia
