Module 6 MEMORY

Question 1

It is an active system that RECIEVE information from the senses, ORGANIZE and alters it as it STORES it away, and then retrieves the information from storage.

Answer 1

Memory

Question 2

sensory information to CONVERT that information into a form that is usable in the brain’s storage systems.

Answer 2

Encoding

Question 3

HOLDING onto information for some period of time.

Answer 3

Storage

Question 4

GETTING information that is in storage into a form that can be used.

Answer 4

Retrieval

Question 5

assumes the processing of information for memory storage is SIMILAR to the way a COMPUTER processes memory in a series of three stages.

Answer 5

Information-processing model
A model of memory

Question 6

assumes information that is more “deeply processed,”

Or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or physical characteristics of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer period of time.

Answer 6

Levels-of-processing model

Question 7

All information lost within a
second or so.

Answer 7

Sensory memory

Question 8

Unrehearsed information is lost in about
15 to 30 seconds.

Answer 8

Short- term
memory

Question 9

Information is retained indefinitely although some information may
be difficult to retrieve.

Answer 9

Long- term
memory

Question 10

MODEL OF MEMORRY
which memory processes are proposed to take place at the same time over a large network of neural connections.

Answer 10

Parallel distributed processing (PDP) model

Question 11

very first stage of memory, the point at which information enters the nervous system through the sensory systems.

Answer 11

Sensory memory

Question 12

Sensorry memory

visual sensory memory, lasting only a fraction of a second

Answer 12

Iconic memory

Question 13

everything that can be seen at one time.

Answer 13

Capacity

Question 14

information that has just entered iconic memory will be pushed out very quickly by new information, a process called masking.

Answer 14

Duration

Question 15

the rare ability to access a visual memory for 30 seconds or more.

Answer 15

Eidetic imagery

Question 16

the brief memory of something a person has just heard.

Answer 16

Echoic memory

Question 17

the brief memory of something a person has just heard.

Answer 17

Echoic memory

Question 18

limited to what can be heard at any one moment and is smaller than the capacity of iconic mem

Answer 18

Capacity

Question 19

lasts longer that iconic — about 2 to 4 seconds

Answer 19

Duration

Question 20

the memory system in which information is held for brief periods of time while being used.

Answer 20

Short term memory STM

Question 21

the ability to focus on only one stimulus from among all sensory input.

Answer 21

Selective attention

Question 22

the ability to focus on only one stimulus from among all sensory input.

Answer 22

Selective attention

Question 23

memory test in which a series of numbers is read to subjects in the experiment who are then asked to recall the numbers in order.

Answer 23

Digit span test

Question 24

bits of information are combined into meaningful units, or chunks, so that more information can be held in STM.

Answer 24

Chunking

Question 25

practice of saying some information to be remembered over and over in one’s head in order to maintain it in short-term memory (STMs tend to be encoded in auditory form).

Answer 25

Maintenance rehearsal

Question 26

It is is susceptible to interferenc

Answer 26

STM

Question 27

It is the system of memory into which all the information is placed to be kept more or less permanently.

Answer 27

Long term memory

Question 28

a method of transferring information from STM into LTM by making that information meaningful in some way.

Answer 28

Eleborative rehearsal

Question 29

What are the Types of LTM?

Answer 29

Procedural (nondeclarative) memory Declarative memory

Question 30

It includes here the memory for skills, procedures, habits, and conditioned responses. These memories are not conscious but are implied to exist because they affect conscious behavior.

Answer 30

Procedural (nondeclarative) memor

Question 31

It containing information that is conscious and known (memory for facts).

Answer 31

Declarative memory

Question 32

:Skills that people know how to do. :include emotional associations, habits, and simple conditioned reflexes that may or may not be in conscious awareness.

Answer 32

Procedural (Nondeclarative) LTM

Question 33

loss of memory from the point of injury or trauma forward, or the inability to form new long-term memories. Usually does NOT affect procedural LTM.

Answer 33

Anterograde Amnesia

Question 34

What is the other name of Procedural memory

Answer 34

implicit memory (A memory that is not easily brought into concious awareness

Question 35

It is all things people know

Answer 35

Declarative LTM

Question 36

type of declarative memory containing general knowledge, such as knowledge of language and information learned in formal education.

Answer 36

Semantic memory

Question 37

type of declarative memory containing personal information not readily available to others, such as daily activities and events.

Answer 37

Episodic memory

Question 38

What is the meaning of Semantic and episodic memories are forms of explicit memory

Answer 38

memory that is consciously known.

Question 39

LTM organized in terms of related meanings and concepts.

Answer 39

Organization of Memory

Question 40

It assumes information is stored in the brain in a connected fashion, with concepts that are related stored physically closer to each other than retrieval cue a stimulus for remembering.

Answer 40

Semantic network model

Question 41

a stimulus for remembering.

Answer 41

Retrieval cue

Question 42
