AP Psych - Ch 7

Question	Answer
Encoding	Putting coded information into memory
Storage	Maintaining coded information in memory
Retrieval	Recovering information from memory stores
Attention	The process of focusing awareness on narrowed range of stimuli or events
Prospective Memory	Involves remembering to perform actions in the future
Retrospective Memory	Involves remembering events from the past or previously learned information
Transfer-appropriate Processing	The initial processing of information is similar to the type of processing required by the subsequent measure of retention
Connectionists models and parallel distributed processing PDP	Assumes that cognitive processes depend on patterns of activation in highly interconnected computational networks that resemble neural networks
Explicit Memory	Memory which involves the intentional recollection of previous experiences
Levels of Processing Theory	A theory that proposes that deeper levels of processing result in longer lasting memory codes
Elaboration	Involves linking a stimulus to other information at the time of encoding
Dual-coding theory	A theory that memory is enhanced by forming both semantic and visual codes since either can lead to recall
Sensory Memory	Preserves information in the original sensory form for a very brief time
Short Term Memory STM	Limited capacity memory store that can maintain unrehearsed information for 20 to 30 seconds
Rehearsal	The process of repetitively verbalizing or thinking about new information
Chunk	A group of familiar stimuli stored as a single unit
Long Term Memory LTM	An unlimited capacity memory store that can hold information over length
Flashbulb memories	Unusually vivid and detailed recollections of momentous events
Serial position effect	Occurs when subjects show better recall of items at the beginning and end of a list than items in the middle
Declarative memory system	Memory for factual info
Procedural Memory System	Memory for action, skills and operations
Episodic Memory System	Memory made up of chronological or temporally dated, recollections of personal experiences
Semantic Memory System	memory that contains general knowledge that is not tied to the time when information was learned
Clustering	The tendency to remember similar or related items in a group
Semantic Networks	These consists of concepts joined together by links that show how the concepts are related
Long-term Potentiation	A long lasting increase in neural excitability at synapses along a specific neural pathway
Schema	An organized cluster of knowledge about a particular object or sequence of events
Script	A particular kind of schema that organizes what people know about common activity
Tip of the tongue phenomennon	Temporary inability to remember something you know accompanied by the feeling that its just out of reach
Nonsense syllables	Consonent vowel consonant letter combinations that do not correspond to words
Forgetting Curve	A cruve graphing retention and forgetting over time
Retention	The proportion of material remembered
Recall	The ability to remember information without any cues
Recognition	Requires the selection of previously learned information from an array of options
Relearning	Requires the memorization of information a second time to determine how much time or effort is saved
Decay theory	Attributes forgetting to the impermanence of memory storage
Interference Theory	Attributes forgetting to competition from other material
Retroactive Interference	Occurs when new information impairs the retention of previously learned information
Proactive Interference	Occurs when previously learned info impairs the retention of new info
Encoding specificity Principle	States that the value of a retrieval cue depends on how well it corresponds to the memory code
Repression	Involves purposeful suppresion of memories
Consolidation	A theoretical process involving the gradual conversion of information into durable memory codes stored in long term memory
Retrograde Amnesia	The loss of memory for events that occured prior to brain injury
Anterograde Amnesia	The loss of memory for events that occur after a brain injury
Mnemonic Devices	Strategies for enhancing memory
Overlearning	The continued rehearsal of material after it has apparently been mastered
Link method	Involves forming a mental image of items to be remembered in a way that connects them together
Method of loci	A mnemonic device that involves taking an imaginary walk along a familiar path
Keyword method	Involves associating a concrete word with an abstract word and generating an image to represent the concrete word
Conceptual Hierarchy	A multi level classification system based on common properties aming items
Implicit memory	Is aparent when retention is exhibited on a task that does not require intentional remembering
Self-referral encoding	The process of deciding how or whether information is personally revelant
Source monitoring	The process of making attributions about the origins of memories
Reality monitoring	The process of deciding whether memories are based on external or internal sources
Source monitoring error	An error that occurs when a memory derived frim one source is attributed to another
Nondeclarative memory	Another term for the procedural memory system whcih houses memory for actions, skills, and operations
