Answer 12

semantic (explicit/declarative)- specific pieces of information (trivia night)

memories about plans for the future

Question 17

Recall

Answer 17

Active process

Question 18

Recognition

Answer 18

passive process, less demanding

Question 19

Primacy effect

Answer 19

easier to remember the first terms on a list

Question 20

Recency effect

Answer 20

easier to remember the last terms of a list

Question 21

Serial position effect

Answer 21

the extreme ends of a list are more favorable for recall

Question 22

Spacing effect

Answer 22

recall is more effective when the learning process is spaced out

Question 23

Duel-coding effect

Answer 23

studying multiple modalities are more effective

Question 24

State-dependent effect

Answer 24

a certain mood might promote the recall of memories that were encoded when you were in a similar mood

Question 25

Misinformation effect

Answer 25

info we subsequently obtain can affect how we remember the original event

Question 26

Reconstructive memory

Answer 26

we build memories based on our perceptions of ourselves and others, events, etc

Question 27

Ebbinghaus forgetting curve

Answer 27

repeated rounds of learning slows down the forgetting process and consolidates more information into long-term memory

Question 28

Interference

Answer 28

pro-active: old memories inhibit consolidation of new memories
retroactive: new memories inhibit retrieval of old memories
