Psychology 1020 Exam Review (lectures
and readings)
memory - ANSWER-ability to store and retrieve information over time
encoding -> storage -> retrieval - ANSWER-what is the memory process?
shallow
medium
deep - ANSWER-levels of processing
structural codes (what it looks like) - ANSWER-shallow
phonemic codes (what is sounds like) - ANSWER-medium
semantic codes (what it means) - ANSWER-deep
visualize
elaborate
make it personal
organize - ANSWER-how to enhance encoding
maintaining info in memory over time - ANSWER-storage
sensory memory - ANSWER-last a quarter of a second
combining pieces of info into larger familiar units
increases capacity of STM - ANSWER-chunking
unlimited space
can last hours, years, or life time
based on meaningful information - ANSWER-long term memory
inability to retain new memories after brain damage - ANSWER-anterograde amnesia
inability to retain new memories before brain damage - ANSWER-retrograde amnesia
explicit (intentional)
implicit (automatic) - ANSWER-long term memory is made up of.....
episodic (personal experience)
, semantic (general knowledge) - ANSWER-explicit memory is made up of...
procedural (practiced skills and habits)
classical conditioning (conditioned reflexes and emotional memories)` - ANSWER-
implicit memory is made up of...
explicit memories - ANSWER-damage to hippocampus wipes out ______
implicit memory - ANSWER-damage to hippocampus does not wipe out _______
source monitoring effect - ANSWER-misattributing the memory to a wrong source
misinformation effect - ANSWER-memory is altered (even implanted) by misleading
post-event info
overconfidence bias - ANSWER-tendency to equate feeling certain with being accurate
formation - ANSWER-prefrontal cortex
amygdala
hippocampus
cerebellum
storage - ANSWER-cerebral cortex
auditory cortex
temporal lobes
hippocampus
7 - 7 and half - ANSWER-how much sleep does an adult need?
15 - 16 - ANSWER-how much sleep do babies need?
occurs when previously learned information interferes with retention of new info -
ANSWER-Proactive interference
values of a retrieval cue depends on how well it corresponds to memory code -
ANSWER-Encoding specificity principle
when the initial processing of information is similar to the type of processing required by
subsequent measure of retention - ANSWER-Transfer appropriate processing
long lasting increase in neural excitability at synapse along a specific neural pathway -
ANSWER-Long term potentiation (LTP)
involves the loss of memories for events that occurred prior to the onset of amnesia -
ANSWER-Retrograde amnesia
