Memory Flashcards
Which school thought of memory this way:
an adaptive response to experience
functionalism
Which school thought of memory this way:
mental function we use for encoding info about stimuli, events, images etc.. for retaining the info and retrieving it after the stimulus has passed.
functionalism
Which school thought of memory this way:
an information “handling” system in the brain
cognitive neuroscience
Which school thought of memory this way:
a collection of processes and data structures required for encoding, retaining and retrieving info
cognitive neuroscience
Phase 1 of the anatomy of a memory experiment
studying/learning, acquisition, encoding
Phase 2 of the anatomy of a memory experiment
retaining, storage, consolidating
Phase 3 of the anatomy of a memory experiment
testing, retrieval, decoding
the process of interpreting and transforming info into the code used by the brain
Acquisition/encoding
- type/amount of info
- timing of access to info
- manner of interacting with info (attention
- instructions about purpose (incidental vs intentional)
Common encoding variables
the process of stabilizing a memory after its initial acquisition
Retaining/consolidating
- duration
- intervening activity
- instruction about future relevance of learning materials (remember/forget)
common retention interval variables
the process of translating stored info back into the code used for reporting/expressing it
Decoding
- nature of the test (recall vs recognition)
- concurrent activity (with vs. without distraction)
- instructions about study phase relevance of test (explicit vs implicit)
common testing/decoding phase variables
According to the Modal Model of Memory, the only thing we’re conscious of is ____. So to remember something we bring it from ___ to ___.
STM, STM, LTM
if there is an impairment to STM, it ___(will/will not) automatically result in an impairment to LTM
will not
