Long-Term Memory II - Week 7 Flashcards
maintentance rehearsal
the repetition of oneself for a short period of time, is typically not stored in the ltm due to loss of information after output
elaborative rehearsal
adding meaning to one’s rehearsal increases the chances of the information being stored in the ltm
deeper is better
the more resources at encoding, the more likely the material will be remembered at retrieval
interact
things are better remembered when interactive imagery is produced for them
organize
items are better remembered when they are structured into meaningful groups or hierarchies
make it hard on yourself
key words linked to complicated sentences are better remembered
personally relevant
when material and response demands were the same, personally connected words are better remembered
generate information
fill in the blanks were more successful then remembering word pairs alone
structure
a mental framework for information brings about a better store into memory
testing
being tested on information improves both stm and ltm recall
free recall
anything and everything
cued recall
specific topics that encourages a secluded mental search
synaptic consolidation
increased exposure to a stimulus results in an increased firing rate of neurons
systems consolidation
hippocampus is involved in the establishment of memories and the cortical areas are involved in the maintenance of memories
retrograde amnesia
the forgetting that can occur before an event and is usually graded
