memory test

the persistance of learning over time through the storage and retreival of information

memory that encodes meaning, including words

procedural memory includcing consious recollection and cerrebellum (skills, motor, cognitive)

straight repeating information to memorize it in shallow memory

memory enhancing devices such as songs, rhymes, and imagery

the process of getting information out of memory storage

activated memory that holds a few items briefly before information is stored or forgotten

our fleeting photographic memory (sperling)

an individual's tendency to better remember the first piece of information they encounter than the information they receive later on

orangizing items into familar, manageable groups, often occurs automatically

a neural center that is located in the limbic system and helps store and process expicit memory

the absence of memories that occur before the age of 2

amnesia where you can't recall memories that were formed before the event that caused the amnesia

a man with anterrograde amnesia who had a virus and then lost his memory, only has a 7 seconds memory and beleives he has never had a thought in his life

acquired information in the effect of a specific drug and/or situation may only be remembered if the organism is in a similar situation where the information was acquired

when previously learned information interfers with new information trying to be learned (learning new phone number when you already know old one)

a neural center that is located in the limbic system and helps store and process explicit memory

a process by which synaptic connections between neurons become stronger with frequent activation (spread out studying)

psychoanalytic theory that there is a basic defense mechagnism that banishes from consiousness (anxiety, arousing thoughts, feelings, memories)

attributing the wrong source to an event we have heard about, read about, or imagined

putting things that are more important to you on top of the pyramid

(loftus) filling in the gaps with plausible guesses and assumptions because imagining can create false memories

incedental information that happend to be recorded

where the information is in long term memory, but cannot be accessed

(ebinghouse) our tendancy to remember things that come first and last

the tendency for people to better remember information when it has been encoded in reference to the self

the process of focusing resources on specific aspects of all input

limitations of performing more than one information-processing task simultaneously

a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event

includes information from recent and past experiances (where you parked your car or the dinner you had with a friend last month)

declaritive memory, facts and experiances one can consiously declare (hippocampus)

semantic (meaning), acoustic (sound), visual (pistures)

an encoding strategy to facilitate the formation of memory by linking new information to what one already knows

the retention of encoded information over time

the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system

the relatively limitless and permanent storehouse for memory system (knowlage, skills, experiance)

sensory memory for auditory stimuli

a cognitive bias in which those items, ideas, or arguments that came last are remembered more clearly than those that came first

the blocking of learning or of memory retrieval by the learning or remembering of other conflicting material

a theory that proposes that memory fades due to the mere passage of time

(clive wearing) a type of memory loss that occurs when you can't form new memories

a cognitive framework or concept that helps organize and interpret information

improved recall of specific episodes or information when contextual cues relating to the environment are the same during encoding and retrieval

the disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of information

a measure of memory in which a person must retreive information

the tendency to recall events that are congruent with one’s current good or bad mood

incorporating misleading information into one’s memory of an event

the small amount of information that can be held in mind and used in the execution of cognitive tasks

thinking about one's thinking

the activation, usually unconsiously, of particular associations in memory

the cognitive bias that causes a person to have lower recall for events that happened right before or after a performance

the memory for intentions, enables us to remember to carry out an action that has been planned for a predefined time in the future

the memory of people, words, and events encountered or experienced in the past

a state in which one cannot quite recall a familiar word but can recall words of similar form and meaning

the retrieval of memory with the help of prompting

a type of processing including semantic, personal, link to prior knowlage, alaborative rehearsal

a type of processing that is on the surface, when you cram or maitnence rehearsal

envisioning a location or physical space that you are extremely familiar with to attach the terms and information you are memorizing to various locations/spots within that place

getting information from your short term memory to your long term memory
