Q

Memory Effects

A
  • Next in line effects is recall for other ppl, but not the eprson before you
  • Spacing effect (cramming)
  • Serial position effect : better for first & last but not middle

Q

Types of Mnemonics

A
  • Memory palace
  • Peg word (songs/jingles)
  • Link method (mental images that link them together(
22
Q

Chunking

A

Includes acronyms, hierarchy

23
Q

Memory trace

A

is physical existence of memories

24
Q

Synapses & Synaptic changes

A
  • Gap btwn neurons allowing for signal to pass
  • SIgnal can change in strength
25
Q

Neural circuitry

A

Pop of neurons connected w/ synapses

26
Q

Long-term potentiation

A

Synapse gets stronger from use

27
Q

Best Cues for Retrieval

A
  • Scents
  • Tastes
  • Sights
  • Visuals
28
Q

Priming

A

Cues that stimulate memory w/o awareness (ads)

29
Q

Context-dependent memory

A

Better recall when details of location are same (directions)

30
Q

State-dependent memory

A

Better recall when in same psychological state (tired)

31
Q

Mood-congrument memory

A

Tendency to recall memories that has same mood as current one

32
Q

Tip of Tongue

A

Cause by interference w/recall from bad encoding, conflicting info

33
Q

Forgetting

A

From bad encoding, storage or retrieval

34
Q

Encoding Failure

A
  • Not paying attention
  • Passively learning = no encoding
35
Q

Next-in-Line (encoding failure)

A

Recall better for what others say but bad for person before you

36
Q

Serial Position Effect (encoding failure)

A

Best recall of last (recency) and first bits of info (primacy)

37
Q

Storage Decay

A
  • Memories decay w/no review
  • Strength in synapses weaken from less use
38
Q

Proactive Interference

A

Old blocks new

39
Q

Retroactive

A

New blocks old

40
Q

Motivated Forgetting

A

Unknowing revising memories we don’t want, leading to forgetting (i.e repression)

41
Q

Types of Amnesia

A
  • Anterograde Amnesia
  • Retrograde Amnesia
  • Source Amnesia
42
Q

Anterograde Amnesia

A

Can’t remember events after trauma

43
Q

Retrograde Amnesia

A

Can’t remember events before trauma

44
Q

Source Amnesia

A

Forgetting where the source of info came from

45
Q

Reconsolidation

A

Previously stored memory is retrieved & potentially altered before stored again (eg: wikipedia)

46
Q

Misinformation Effect

A

Incorporating wrong info into memories to fill up gaps

47
Q

Imagination on Memory

A
  • Create false memories
  • Never know what’s true or false memories
48
Q

Testimonies

A

Memories erode after time, influenced by leading questions & age

49
Q

Parallel Processing

A

Processing multiple aspects of stimuli (i.e colours, scents, depth, shapes)

50
Q

Prospective Memories

A

Remembering to do planned action at a time (eg: taking meds)
