Module 23 - studying and encoding memories Flashcards
1
Q
memory
A
- persistence of learned information/behavior over time
2
Q
types of memory evaluation
A
- recall - generating the information from scratch (fill in the blank)
- recognition - knowing something when you see it (must. choice)
- faster learning - not needing as much time to learn something the second time - memory wasn’t completely gone
3
Q
Ebbighaus’ retention curve
A
- the more times he practiced a list of nonsense syllables on Day 1, the faster he relearned it on day 2
4
Q
information processing model of memory
A
encoding –> storage –> retrieval
5
Q
Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory
A
6
Q
explicit (declarative) memory
A
- facts and experiences
- can be described in words
- uses conscious/effortful processing
7
Q
implicit (non declarative) memory
A
- skills and associations
- can be demonstrated through behavior
- its implied that you remember it because of what you do
ex: throwing a baseball - uses unconscious/automatic processing
8
Q
Baddley’s model of working memory
A
- visual sketch pad is knowing in your mind where things are and how they get there
- can retrieve things back from long term memory
9
Q
evidence for separate resources for phonological vs. visualspatial tasks
A
- difficult to do two phonological or two visuospatial tasks simultaneously
- much easier to do one phonological and one visuospatial task simultaneously
10
Q
what kind of working memory we use to memorize digits
A
- phonological
- people whose native language uses more syllables for digits tend to not be able to memorize as many digits as people whose native language uses only one syllable for most digits
11
Q
encoding strategies
A
