Memory Part 3 Flashcards
Associated with the LTP and transfer of info from STM to LTM
Hippocampus
Houses episodic and semantic memories
Hippocampus
Lasting strengthening of synapses that increased neurotransmitters
LTP
Measure of retention in which the person must remember with few retrieval cues, information learned earlier
Recall
Measure of rentntion in that the less time it takes to relearn information, the more that information has been retained
Relearning
Measure of retention in which one need only to identify previously learned information
Recognition
Amount of time laved when relearning information
Savings Score
Activation often unconscious of a web of associations in memory to retrieve a specific memory
Priming
Cues to activate hidden memories
Priming
False sense that you have already experienced a current situation
Deja Vu
Tendency to recall experience that are consistent with our current mood
Mood-Congruent Memory
Disruptive effect of something you already have learned on your efforts to learn or recell new information
Proactive Interference
Old information that gets in the way of new information
Proactive Interference
Disruptive effect of something you already have learned on old information
Retroactive Interference
New Information that gets in the way of old information
Retroactive Interference
Aids in memory because the mater on one task aids in the learning or performing of another
Positive Transfer
The mastery of one task conflicts with learning or performing another
Negative Transfer
Occurs when a memory was never formed because we didn’t perceive or attend to information/situation
Encoding Failure
Memory errors that occur becaus people update memories with logical processes, reasoning, new info, perceptions, and imgination
Memory Reconstruction
False memories that people believe is true
Pseudo-Memories
Memory retrieval that is efficient when individuals are in the same state of consciousness as they were when the memory was formed
State Dependent Memory
Recall of information that can be retrieved better if were are in the same mood as when we encountered the info
Mood Dependent Memory
Recall of information that can be retrieved better if were are in the same space as when we encountered the info
Context Dependent Memory
Tendency of eyewitness to an event to incorporate misleading information about the event into their memories because of new information has altered the way previous info is held in memory
Misinformation Effect
Loss of memory
Amnesia
Inability to remember the source of memory while retaining its substance
Source Amnesia
