Memory and Consciousness Ch 9 Flashcards
Exam 3
BLANK is functioning anytime some past experience has an affect on the way you think or behave now or in the future
Memory
In cognitive psychology theories are commonly called BLANK and are often summarized visually with diagrams that use boxes to represent the mind’s components and arrows to represent the mvoement of information from one component to another.
Models
Most influential model is…
modal model of the mind (modal=standard)
Three types of memory stores in Modal Model are …. conceived of metaphorically as places (boxes in the diagram) where information is held and operated on.
sensory memory, working (short term) memory, and long term memory
Each store is characterized by its Blank, Blank, and Blank.
Function (the role it plays in the overall workings of the mind), capacity (the amount of information it can hold at any given instant) and its duration (the length of time it can hold an item of information
Control processes the model specifies are Blank (four things) which govern the processing of information within stores and the movement of information from one store to another.
Attention, rehearsal, encoding, retrieval
The abilty hold and recall trace information happens in the Blank memory (irregardless if the person is paying attention to the input). This info is lost in a half to 3 seconds typically.
sensory memory
Any information that was attended to in the sensory memory moves into the next compartment which is called Blank memory. This is the major workplace of the mind. The seat of conscious thought.
working memory (aka short term memory)
Blank memory corresponds most closely to most people’s everyday notion of memory. It is the stored representation of all that a person knows.
Long term memory
Blank memory is passive (a repository of information) and blank memory is active (a place where information is thought about).
Long term and working
Memory functions to ….
recall past experiences, recall stored info, think of the future and use acquired skill
Memory problems…
failure to recall past information or experiecnces (forgetting) and recall of inaccurate information or experiences (false memories)
Two main memory systems are Blank and Blank
Explicit (declaritive or conscious) and Implicit (non-declarative or unconscous) systems
Two types of Explicit System memory
Episodic and Semantic memory
One’s own experience is BLANK memory and words, meanings and facts are BLANK memory.
Episodic and Semantic
Three types of Implicit System memory
Classical Conditioning effects, Procedural Memory and Priming
Motor skills, habits and tacit rules are BLANK memory and activation, by sensory input, of concepts in long term memory is BLANK
Procedural Memory and Priming
Explicit memory assessment includes:
Recall, recognition and relearning
Recreating the original material w/no additional prompts (shows rapid forgetting)
recall
indicating what material has been previously experienced and what is new (shows longer retention)
recognition
speed of re-acquiring material that was previsouly known but had become unavailable
relearning
An impairment of long term memory due to brain damage
amnesia
