Q

A retrieval cue can serve as an effective reminder when it helps re-create the specific way in which information was initially encoded.

A

the encoding specificity principle

Ex: environment, words, smell, etc

Q

The tendency for information to be better recalled when the person is in the same state during encoding and retrieval.

A

State-dependent retrieval

Ex: to remember aA story when you are sad.

Q

Memory is likely to transfer from one situation to another when the encoding context of the situations match.

Q

a process by which retrieving an item from long-term memory impairs subsequent recall of related items.

A

Retrieval-induced forgetting

Ask question, remember the answer, and people forget things except what they were asked.

16
Q

Which part of brain do we use when we successfully retrieve a past experience ?

A

Hippocampal region

Also accompany another part. If we try to remember the sound, we use auditory cortex.

17
Q

When people consciously or intentionally retrieve past experiences.

A

Explicit memory

Ex: I remember when…< explicit memory :P

18
Q

Past experiences influence later behavior and performance, even though people are not trying to recollect them and are not aware that they are remembering them.

A

Implicit memory

Ex: Greg’s persistent father’a death.

19
Q

The gradual acquisitions of skill as a result of practice or “knowing how” to do things.

A

Procedural memory

Ex: riding bicycle…
Related to outside of hippocampal area

20
Q

An enhanced ability to think of a stimulus, such as a word or object, as a result of a resent exposure to the stimulus.

A

Priming (!implicit memory !! )

Ex: fill-in-the -blank test

21
Q

Which part is used whole priming is going on ?

A

In various version of the cortex. With reduced activity.

22
Q

A network of associated facts and concepts that make up our general knowledge of the world.

A

Semantic memory

Ex: why do we celebrate 12/25 ?

23
Q

The collection of past personal experiences that occurred at a particular time and place.

Ex: Memories on Christmas when we are child

A

Episodic memory

24
Is hippocampus necessary for acquiring new semantic memories ?
No
25
Forgetting what occurs with the passage of time.
Transience
26
Earlier learning impairs memory for information acquired later.
Proactive interference Ex 久しぶりに自転車違うとこに止めたのに、いつも置いたとこに取りに行っちゃう
27
Later learning impairs memory for information acquired earlier.
Retroactive interference | Ex: 記憶の書き換え、火曜がくると月曜のことを思い出せない
28
A lapse in attention that results in memory failure.
Absent-mindedness Caused by luck of attention.
29
Which part of brain is used when pearled attention is devised ?
Lower left frontal lobe
30
TF | Greater activity in the lower left frontal region during encoding is associated with better memory.
True.
31
T/F | Divided attention leads to less hippocampal involvement in encoding.
T
32
Remembering to do things in the future . Failures of this are major source of absentmindedness.
Prospective memory
33
Tip-of-the-tongue experience. | A failure to retrieve information that is available in memory even though you are trying to produce it.
Blocking
34
Assigning a recollection or an idea to the wrong source.
Memory misattribution
35
Recall of when,where,and how information was acquired.
Source memory
36
A feeling of familiarity about something that hasn't been encountered before. Everyday deja vu experience
False recognition | deja vu
37
The tendency to incorporate misleading information from external sources into personal recollection.
Suggestibility
38
The distorting influences of pleasant knowledge beliefs,and feelings on recollection of previous experience
Bias
39
The intrusive recollection of event that we wish we could forget.
persistence
40
Detailed recollections of when and where we heard about shocking events
Flashbulb memories
