MIDTERM II CHAPTER 7 Flashcards
The process of acquiring info and transferring it to LTM
Encoding
The transfer of memory from LTM to working memory
Retrieval
Getting info without considering the meaning and without making connections
Maintenance rehearsal
Type of rehearsal where meanings are considered and connections/associations are made
Elaborative rehearsal
According to levels of processing theory, memory is dependent to what?
Depth of processing an item receives
Little attention is given to meaning
Shallow processing
Close attention is given to meaning
Deep processing
List of word pairs is presented to test whether visual imagery can create connections that enhance memory
Paired-association learning
Memory is better if asked to relate a word to oneself
Self-reference effect
Generating ideas yourself rather than passively receiving them enhances learning and retention
Generation effect
A word or other stimulus that helps a person remember information stored in memory
Retrieval cue
Enhanced performance due to retrieval practice is called…
Testing effect
Self-generated cues help remember words better compared to other-person generated retrieval cues were presented. T/F.
True
Principle which states that we encode info along with its context (i.e. matching context in which encoding and retrieval occur)
Encoding specificity
Learning associated with certain state or mood
State-dependent learning
