Midterm 3!! Flashcards
Attention
Focusing awareness on a narrowed set ot stimuli
Selective attention
Selection of input
Deeper processing
Longer lasting memory codes
Elaboration
Linking a stimulus to other information at encoding
Visual imagery
Creation or visual magesto representwords to be remembered
Analogies
Information storage inwax or computers
Information processing theories
Sensory memory, short term memoryi long term memory
Sensory memory
Brief preservation of informationin original sensory form
Short term memory
20 seconds,rehearsal→repeat information
Baddeley
Short term memory as a working memory
Long term memory
Unlimited capacity store that holdsintormation for a long time
Schemas
Organize el cluster ot knowledge about an objectivelevent
Scripts
Special type ot schema
Somatic network
Consists of nodes representing concepts,joined together by links between concepts
Retrieval cues
Stimuli that help gain access to memories
Serial position elects
Better recall for items at the beginning and end of a list
Pseudoforgetting
Due to lack of attention
Decay theory
Forgetting that occurs due to facing of memory traces
Interference theory
Retroactive and proactive interference
Encoding specificity principle
Effectiveness at a retrieval cue depends on now well it corresponds to a memory code
Retrospective, memory
Remembering events from past,previously learned information
Prospective memory
Remembering to perform actions in the future
Chunking
Grouping familiar stimuli for storage as a single unitf
