Q

What are the sensory store 3 main characteristics

A

INFORMATION IS CAPTURED BY THE SENSE ORGANS
INFORMATION IN THIS AREA IS TRANSIENT (FROM A FEW
TENTHS OF A SECOND TO SECONDS)
INFORMATION ATTENDED TO IN THIS STORE IS
TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT STORE (SHORT-TERM)

Q

What are the 5 characteristics of Short term in Atkinson- Shiffrin Theory

A

1.THE INDIVIDUAL IS CONSCIOUS OF THIS INFORMATION
2. INFORMATION IS READILY ACCESSIBLE
3. IT WILL BE FORGOTTEN OVER A PERIOD OF 20 SEC.
4. REHEARSAL OF THE INFORMATION CAN PREVENT DECAY OF IT
(FORGETTING)
5. THE INFORMATION CAN BE PROCESSED IN DIFFERENT WAYS
(E.G. ELABORATION) AND HENCE BE TRANSPORTED TO THE
LAST STORE.

Q

What are the three characteristics of Long term Memory according to Atkinson- Shiffrin Theory

A 
1. INFORMATION ENTERS IT VIA ELABORATE
PROCESSES FROM SHORT-TERM STORE
2. ITS SIZE IS UNLIMITED.
3. INFORMATION IN LONG-TERM CAN BE REPLACED
IN SHORT-TERM, MANIPULATED AND USED TO
CARRY OUT TASKS.

20
Q

What are the main types of Long term Memory

A

Explicit Memory and Implicit Memory

21
Q

What type of Long term Memory is IS THE CONSCIOUS
RECOLLECTION OF EVENTS THAT OCCUR IN A PARTICULAR TIME AND PLACE. ONE WHICH REQUIRES A
CONSCIOUS THOUGHT, USUALLY WHAT MOST PEOPLE REFER TO AS A MEMORY

A

Explicit Memory

22
Q

What are the two types of explicit memory

A

Declarative and Episodic

23
Q

What type of eplicit memory provides GENERAL FACTUAL INFORMATION

A

Declarative

24
Q

What type of explicit memory provides personal autobiographical memories

A

Episodic

25
Q

What type of memory is associated with THE UNCONSCIOUS
RECOLLECTION OF VARIOUS TYPES OF INFORMATION
RELATED TO SKILLS.

A

Implicit memory

26
Q

What are the two types of Implicit long term memory

A

Procedural, Conditioning

27
Q

What term is used to describe the CAUSES PEOPLE TO FORGET
KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN LEARNED RECENTLY
BECAUSE OF INTERFERENCE FROM OLD MEMORIES

A

Proactive Interference

28
Q

What term is used to describe when the RECENTLY LEARNED INFORMATION MAKES THE MIND FORGET
PREVIOUSLY LEARNED INFORMATION.

A

Retroactive Interference

29
Q

What are the 5 ways in which emotions can affect Long Term Memory

A 
REHEARSAL (VERBALLY REPEATING EMOTIONAL
EVENTS)
FLASHBULB MEMORIES
RETRIEVAL INTERFERENCE VIA ANXIETY
CONTEXT EFFECTS REPRESSION
30
Q

What type of information retrieval is associated with A VIVID AND RELATIVELY
PERMANENT RECORD OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN
WHICH ONE LEARNED OF AN EMOTIONALLY
CHARGED, SIGNIFICANT EVENT

A

Flashbulb Memory

31
Q

What type of information retrieval is associated with NERVOUSNESS ON SEEING THE FIRST EXAM
QUESTION PREVENTS ANY RECOGNITION OF THE INFORMATION. SEEING THE 2ND QUESTION HEIGHTENS THE ANXIETY AND WORSENS THE LAPSE
IN MEMORY.

A

Retrieval Interferance via anxiety

32
Q

What type of information retrieval is associated with A PARTICULAR MOOD WAS
PRESENT AT THE TIME OF LEARNING THE
INFORMATION, RETRIEVAL MAY ONLY OCCUR WHEN
THAT MOOD IS PRESENT.

A

Context Effect

33
Q

What type of information retrieval is associated with SEVERELY TRAUMATIC EVENTS MAY NOT
BE RETRIEVED EASILY AS ACCESS TO TARGET
MEMORIES ARE ACTIVELY BLOCKED. THIS IS TO
PREVENT ANXIETY FROM OCCURRING.

A

Repression

34
Q

What theory is associated with SOMETIMES
FORGETTING IS NOT REALLY FORGETTING, BUT RATHER
THAT THE INFORMATION NEVER ENTERED LONG-TERM
MEMORY IN THE FIRST PLACE

A

Encoding Failure Theory

35
Q

What theory is associated with FORGETTING OCCURS BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM IN THE
STORAGE OF THE INFORMATION

A

Storage Decay Theory

36
Q

What are the two ways in which information is forgotten in working memory

A

Memory decays over time

Old information is replaced by new ones (finite capacity)

37
Q

The Hippocampus, when damage causes what disease ?

A

Anterograde Amnesia

38
Q

True or False, The Hippocampus is important in memory consolidation and episodic memory but not semantic memory

A

False

39
Q

What is the Cerebellum important for

A

PLAYS A ROLE IN THE PROCEDURAL MEMORY, MOTOR LEARNING, SKILLS AND FINE MOTOR CONTROL.

40
Q

What is the Temporal Lobe important for

A

USED IN RECOGNITION MEMORY, TO IDENTIFY AN OBJECT AS ONE WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY ENCOUNTERED.

41
Q

What is the Parietal Lobe important for

A

TO FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON DIFFERENT STIMULI AT THE SAME TIME, ASSISTS IN WORKING MEMORY.

42
Q

What is the amygdala

A

ASSOCIATED WITH EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND MEMORY, EMOTIONAL EVENTS BEING ENCODED INTO MEMORY, SEEN IN PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONING.

43
Q

What is the Basal Ganglia important for

A

COGNITION, LEARNING, MOTOR CONTROL AND ACTIVITIES ALSO UNCONSCIOUS MEMORY PROCESSES AND IMPLICIT MEMORY

44
Q

What is the frontal lobe important for

A

COORDINATION OF INFORMATION, USED MOSTLY IN WORKING MEMORY

45
Q

True or false, Memory is reconstructive

A

True

46
Q

True or false, The first two years of life cannot be remembered by anyone, although this period has the richest experience.

A

True

47
Q

What are the 3 reasons in which there is childhood amnesia

A

THE HIPPOCAMPUS FULLY DEVELOPS BY THE SECOND YEAR AFTER BIRTH.
“CONSOLIDATION OF INFORMATION CHANGES AS THE CHILD BEGINS LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, AND ALSO BEGINSTOATTENDSCHOOL. THIS TEACHES THE CHILD TO ORGANIZE INFORMATION DIFFERENTLY, AND IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS WAYS OF DOING SO.
“YOUNG CHILDREN DO NOT EMBELLISH INFORMATION, SO EARLY EXPERIENCES BECOME LOST.
