What is the information processing model of memory?
Encoding, storage, and retrieval
What kind of memory is prominent in the prefrontal cortex?
Working memory
What kind of memory is prominent in the hippocampus?
Spatial memory
What kind of memory is prominent in the temporal lobe?
Declarative memory
What kind of memory is prominent in the amygdala?
Fear learning
What kind of memory is prominent in the cerebellum?
Motor action learning and memory
What is the difference between network association model and the spreading activation model of memory?
Network association = memory is activated by nodes, which increase probability of activation of related nodes; Spreading activation = activating nodes in working memory also activates nodes in long term memory to make retrieval easier
What is the encoding specificity principle?
The idea that any stimulus encoded along with a specific experience can later trigger memory for the experience; related to state-dependent learning
What is forgetting?
I dunno, I forget.
What are the four sins of forgetting?
Transience, absentmindedness, blocking, persistence, misattribution, suggestibility, and bias
What are the two types of forgetting sins, and what are their subparts?
Forgetting (transience, absentmindedness, blocking, and persistence) and distortion (misattribution, suggestibility, and bias)
What is transience?
Reduced memory over time
What is absentmindedness?
Reduced memory due to failing to pay attention
What is blocking?
Inability to remember need information
What is persistence?
The resurgence of unwanted or disturbing memories that we want to forget
What is misattribution?
Assigning a memory to the wrong source
What is suggestibility?
Altering a memory because of misleading information
What is bias?
Influence or current knowledge on our memory for past events
What is proactive interference?
When prior info inhibits the ability to remember new info
What is retroactive interference?
When new info inhibits the ability to remember old info
What causes transience?
Interference, either proactive or retroactive
What is retrograde vs anterograde amnesia?
Retro is for things prior, and antero is for new events
What is the von Restorff effect?
That distinctive events are remembered more easily than trivial ones, no matter whether they’re accurate or not
What is the sleeper effect?
When you don’t believe something from a sketchy source, but you forget where you learned it from and trust it later
