Q

Inattentional Blindness

A

fail to see and object that is in plain sight

27
Q

Change Blindness

A

inability to see change to a scene

28
Q

3 Steps of Memory

A

encoding, storage, retrieval

29
Q

Encoding

A

initial processing of info, brain creates code to allow info to be kept

30
Q

Storage

A

info stays present for more than a moment as time passes

31
Q

Retrieval

A

being able to access info for purpose

32
Q

Capacity

A

how much info in memory we can hold

33
Q

Duration

A

how long info stays in memory

34
Q

Atkinson / Shiffrin Madal Model

A

sensory, short term, long term memory

35
Q

Sensory Memory

A

takes in large sensory info before processing, high capacity short duration

36
Q

Persistence Of Vision

A

directly see info that entered your eye(multicolored ball)

37
Q

Iconic Memory

A

sensory memory specifically for visual info

38
Q

George Sperling

A

found evidence for iconic memory

39
Q

Echoic Memory

A

auditory form of sensory memory

40
Q

Short Term Memory

A

processed info, small capacity of 7 (+-2) longer duration of 15-30 seconds

41
Q

Miller Experiment

A

list # in order after being told, found the 7 (+-2) capacity

42
Q

Chunking

A

combining things into chunks that constitue meaning

43
Q

Rehearsal

A

repetition of info in STM, reactivate encoding

44
Q

Long Term Memory

A

small fraction of info, no limit of capacity or duration

45
Q

Working Memory

A

strong and manipulating info

46
Q

STM Vs. Working

A

both ar strong with info but working manipulates it

47
Q

Working Memory Model

A

visual sketch pad, central executive, phonological loop

48
Q

Visual Sketch Pad

A

visual portion of STM, analyze/manipulate info in memory(rotating object)

49
Q

Phonological Loop

A

auditory portion of STM, allows info to be repeated so it can be used

50
Q

Articulatory Suppression

A

repetition of irrelevant sounds reduce memory, speaking interferes with rehearsal

51
Q

Central Executive

A

coordinate between phonological loop/visual sketchpad, what info gets placed into STM first

52
Q

OSPAN Task

A

solve math equations/ remember list of words

53
Q

Explicit Memory

A

memories we consistently try to remember/recall

54
Q

Implicit Memory

A

memories not part of our consciousness

55
Q

Episodic Memory

A

personal memories of events, etc

56
Q

Semantic Memory

A

general knowledge, facts

57
Q

Case Study K.C.

A

had no episodic memory, damage to hippocampus

58
Q

Dissociation

A

episodic/semantic are different from another

59
Q

Autobiographical Memory

A

memory of info about self, includes both semantic/episodic

60
Q

Procedural Memory

A

how to do things without conscious awareness

61
Q

Priming

A

differs for everyone (fill in blanks, people come up with different stuff that makes sense)

62
Q

Implicit Vs. Explicit

A

implicit is more likely to stay intact compared to explicit

63
Q

Case Study H.M.

A

explicit memory not intact, procedural intact
