memory

Question 1

coding

Answer 1

moment of learning, the information is converted into nerual code

Question 2

storage

Answer 2

the preservation of encoded inforamtion

Question 3

consolidation

Answer 3

when neural connection become stronger and new synapses are formed

Question 4

retrieval

Answer 4

the ability to recall inforamtion that have been encoded in the memory

Question 5

long term potentiation (LTP)

Answer 5

the strengthening of synptic connections, making post synaptic neurons easier to activate

Question 6

what is a requeierment for LTP

Answer 6

NMDA receptors on post synaptic neurons. NMDA is a glutamate receptor that only response when there is a large amount of glutamate in the synapse

Question 7

engram

Answer 7

the physical place of storage in memory

Question 8

sensory memory

Answer 8

is a temporary memory related to the sensory system, last very short

Question 9

ionic memory

Answer 9

visual sensory memory

Question 10

echo memory

Answer 10

sound senory memory

Question 11

short term memory/working memory

Answer 11

attention focused on something, information goes to the short term memory only lasts about 20 to 30 seconds, unless actively rehearsed, limited capacity

Question 12

chunking

Answer 12

breaking down information into meaningful groups can help remember them easier

Question 13

long term memory

Answer 13

unlimited capacity, long duration, inlcudes normal funtions such a speech, language, dates etc

Question 14

serial position effetc

Answer 14

primacy and recency effect

Question 15

primacy effect

Answer 15

information that has been rehearsed, the improved recall of objects first on the list

Question 16

recency effect

Answer 16

most recent present information of the list

Question 17

levels of the processing model (mental representation)

Answer 17

the deeper an item is coded the more meaning it has and is better remmebered.

Question 18

maintance rehearsle (levels of processing model)

Answer 18

is the repetition of the object

Question 19

extended rehearsle (levels of processing model)

Answer 19

the meaning/value encoded to the information

Question 20

schemas

Answer 20

in the long term memory to help organise and process information, better for recall/ retrieval

Question 21

retrieval cue

Answer 21

something that helps recall information

Question 22

principle of encoding specificity

Answer 22

a stimulus encoded together with an experience can later evoke a memeory of this experience

Question 23

context depended memory

Answer 23

a memory recalled when the recall situation is similar to an encoded situation

Question 24

state depended memory

Answer 24

when the memory is reinforced by the state of the person

Question 25

prospective memory

Answer 25

is a memory of doing something in the future, which is easily forgotten (buying milk on the way home)

Question 26

implicit memory

Answer 26

unconscious memory, that doesnt require effort and cannot be verbally described

Question 27

explicit memory

Answer 27

consciously thinking about a memory and can be verablly described

Question 28

declarative memory

Answer 28

cognitive inforamtion retrieved from explicit memory

Question 29

episodic memory(explicit memory)

Answer 29

personally experiecned events

Question 30

semantic memory (explicit memory)

Answer 30

facts and knowledge

Question 31

classical conditioning in the context of implicit memory

Answer 31

the association between two stimuli that create a respone

Question 32

procedural memory (implicit memory)

Answer 32

motor memroy, motor skills and habits, a goal is achived without thinking about it

Question 33

amnesia

Answer 33

forgetting over time, which can happen due to the interference of other information

Question 34

proactive interference (amnesia)

Answer 34

old information inhibits the ability to remmeber new information

Question 35

retroactive interference (amnesia)

Answer 35

new information inhibits the ability to remember old information

Question 36

blocking

Answer 36

error in retrieval, tip of the tongue

Question 37

absence

Answer 37

the shallow encoding of events, which is caused by lack of attention

Question 38

retrograde amnesia

Answer 38

the loss of past memories

Question 39

anterograde amnesia

Answer 39

inability to remember new memories

Question 40

memory bias

Answer 40

changing memories over time, so they are more consistent with vurrent beliefs and attitudes

Question 41

flashbulb memories

Answer 41

vivid memories that arise from surprising event, that are usually emotional

Question 42

source amnesia

Answer 42

are able to recall the even but not the source

Question 43

cryptomnesia

Answer 43

when a person thinkins they come up with a new idea when its actually an old idea (from someone else) that had been stored in memeory

Question 44

suggestibilty

Answer 44

misleading information can influence memeory
