- Misinformation Effect
- (like constructive memory) external info biases our memory (e.g. "car smashing into other car?")
- Reconstructive Memory
- normal process of retrieving original memories
- Categorical Clustering
- Fruits, Vegtables, Meats, etc
- Thalamus
- formation of new memories & working memories
- Mis-attribution
- can't remember where recalled info from (memory distortions)
- STM
- rehearsal maintains info: probabilistic transfer into LTM
- Acronyms
- UK for United Kingdom
- State Independent Learning
- learning while happy or sad means better recall while happy or sad (or drunk...)
- Place cell
- a neurons that responds when u r in a specific "place field" (e.g. your room)
- Retrograde Amnesia
- loss of memories of what happened before an injury
- Inhibition of Return
- Response Time for detecting object drops after previous object appeared in same spot
- Broadband's Model (early selection
- filtering happens at sensory registration levels (can't explain name in party phenomena though).
- Amygdala
- Emotional Memory (fear), modulate memory consolidation in other areas (e.g. Hippocampus)
- Context Effect
- scuba divers learning list of words underwater will recall it better underwater then on land
- Method of Luci
- a hat on my house, apples on my car, oil filter on my school, etc.
- Keyword System
- 'libro' (book in spanish) sounds like libery (lady holding a book)
- Interactive Images
- a shark with a hat swimming through a field of flowers
- Attenuation Model
- all info in memory is active to some resting level. Stimuli is made weaker ('attenuated') rather than filtered (filter and pattern recognition stages). Some memories have higher 'resting levels' which is why easier to hear name.
- Exhaustive Serial Processing
- check against all digits even if match found
- Sleeper Effect
- A piece of info is discredited b/c source is unreliable (i.e. full of ****), but as soon as source is forgotten = >info itself suddenly seems credible
- Retrospective Memory
- refers to remembering information from the past
- Retrospective Interference
- new info interference with ability to remember old info
- Prospective Memory
- refers to remembering something in the future (e.g. todo)
- Transience
- memory fades quickly (memory distortions)
- Anterograde Amnesia
- loss of memories of what happens after an injury
- PDP
- Connectionists model (priming, etc).
- Prospective Interference
- old info interference with ability to remember new info
- cerebellum (Basal Ganglia)
- Procedural Memory & conditioned responses
- Self-terminating Processing
- check against all digits UNTIL match is found, then stop
- Phonological Loop
- holds inner speech for verbal comprehension
- Primacy Effect
- words at beginning rmmbrd better then middle (b/c of rehearsal)
- Source Amnesia
- Can recall info, but don't know where it was obtained.
- Articulatory Loop
- holds inner speech for verbal comprehension
- Pegword System
- "one is a bun", "two is a shoe", etc
- Acrostics
- form a whole sentences out of the letters of a word
- Recency Effect
- words at end rmmbrd better then middle (b/c of lack of interference)
- Constructive Memory
- (like misinformation effect) external info biases our memory (e.g. "car smashing into other car?")
- Hippocampus
- Episodic memory (memory recognition, spatial memory, laying down stuff into LTM)
- LOP (level of processing) framework
- alternative to 3 store-model; info is saved as well as it's processed/encoded
