UNIT 5 LESSON 1 Flashcards
Memory and Processing
learning that has persisted over time
Memory
the memory of facts and experiences that one can
consciously know and declare
Explicit memory
the retention of information independent of conscious recollection: this is
memory information that one cannot explain
Implicit memory
the measure of memory in which the person must
retrieve information learned earlier
Recall
the measure of memory in which the person needs to
only identify items previously learned
Recognition
the phenomenon in which one saves a substantial amount of time when learning material again
Relearning
the processing of information into the memory system by
extracting meaning
Encoding
the process of retaining encoded information over time
Storage
the process of getting information out of the memory system
Retrieval
helps process explicit memories for storage; it functions as a sort of loading dock where the brain registers and temporarily holds information
Hippocampus
largely associated with procedural memory and
associations as a sort of classical conditioning center
Cerebellum
Encoding that requires attention and concerted effort
effortful processing
Encoding on the basic level based on the structure or appearance of words
shallow processing
This is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for focus; one can ‘hack’ their focus by using the visual system to stare at something for 1-2 minutes straight
Acetylcholine
