◉ types of nondeclarative memory.
Answer: procedural, classical conditioning, priming, non-associative
learning
◉ What is nondeclarative memory.
Answer: Memories that cannot be verbally expressed, also called
implicit
◉ procedural memory.
Answer: Memories for skills and habits (Riding a bike)
◉ classical conditioning.
Answer: associations between stimuli that co-occur often
◉ priming.
Answer: Implicit memory for recent and frequent stimuli
◉ non-associative learning.
,Answer: Collective of things that have happened, individual may not
be aware of the impact it has
◉ What is declarative memory?.
Answer: memories that can be verbally expressed, or explicit
memory
◉ What are the different types of declarative memory?.
Answer: Episodic and Semantic
◉ episodic memory.
Answer: Memory for specific life context with spatial and temporal
context. (remembering the exam you took last monday(get it) or the
game on sunday)
◉ Sematic memory.
Answer: Memory for facts and general knowledge and is acontextual
(you don't now when you learned something but you know you
learned it)
◉ How does depth of processing and intention to learn affect overall
learning?.
Answer: Depth of processing is very important for long term
memory and intention to learn is less important
, ◉ Serial position curve.
Answer: graph depicting both primacy (first items on list stored in
LTM) and recency (last items on list stored in WM) effects on
people's ability to recall items on a list. Graph is u-shaped.
◉ What factors influence the serial position curve?.
Answer: Speed of list presentation and presence of a distraction
after the list ends.
◉ what is chunking?.
Answer: Grouping a series of apparently random items into a
smaller number of meaningful segments to enhance recall.
◉ what is the debate with chunking?.
Answer: George Miller says the number of chunks recalled is
normally 7+-2. Nelson Cowan claims that when rehearsal and long-
term memory are factored out our true STM is 4 chunks.
◉ What is Baddeley's working model of memory?.
Answer: What ever STM is, it might be able to be broken into
different models.
