Memory Flashcards
What is schema?
mental representation of a set of connected ideas
What is memory?
Persistence of learning over time
Types of Memory?
Encoding, storage, retrieval
What is encoding? 3 types?
Code & put into memory. {Acoustics, Visual, Semantic}
What is storage? 3 types?
maintain in memory. {Episodic, Procedural, Semantic}
What is retrieval? 2 types?
recover from memory. {Recall, Recognition}
Self-reference effect
recall info we relate to
Shallow Processing
encoding info on basic level
Deep Processing
based on actual meaning associated (specific thoughts)
Sensory memory
information taken into senses
Short term memory
temporary storage of info to process (7-9 chunks)
long term memory
limitless storage of memory held for long time
Sperling Experiment
realize brain create visual image of letter
iconic memory
visual sensory memory
echoic memory
auditory sensory memory (held 1-2 secs)
Miller Experiment
average human hold in working memory 7 +/- 2
Types of long-term memory
Explicit & Implict
Explicit memory
info you work to remember
- episodic: memory of events
- semantic: memory of facts, concepts, dates, names
Implicit memory
info remembers unconsciously
- procedural: knowledge hoe to perform tasks
- priming: process which the past inc. quickness of response
Primacy-Recency effect
remember beginning / end of information
Flashbulb memory
clear memories from events with more emotion
Long term potentiation
long lasting inc. in synaptic efficacy following high frequency
context-dependent
easy to recall when environment is the same as the memory
