because their brain is pushing the schema on them.
Schemas make us biased - (answer)we judge people by their outfits: our schema tells us that geeky
looking people are physics majors
Memory storage: 3 different places - (answer)1. sensory memory: unlimited info but not for long (.5
seconds)
2. short term memory: limited info and not for long (30 seconds)
3. long term memory: unlimited info and unlimited duration
Explicit Memories - (answer)consciously aware of memories-can add them through new experiences
Factual - (answer)e.g. the capitol of Georgia is Atlanta

Autobiographic - (answer)e.g. you are the main character
Implicit Memories - (answer)memories we don't know we have
e.g. A man suffering from seizures had his Hippocampus (part of the brain that forms memories)
removed. He could retain his old memories, but he couldn't remember anything he'd done after the
surgery. They place 4 objects in front of him-one has an electric charge. Normal people would avoid this
object. The patient did this as well. He didn't know why he avoided it, but avoided it more and more the
more he did the task.
Retrieval - (answer)how we pull information out of memories
Recall - (answer)what did you wear yesterday-->a yellow shirt
Recognition: (assisted) Did you wear a blue shirt, yellow shirt, or red shirt? - (answer)I recognize yellow
as the correct answer
Egocentric - (answer)kids aren't good at understanding the differences between themselves and other
people. they don't understand other peoples' perspectives
False Memories - (answer)what info do kids add into the memory over time
e.g. when you go to a party and then talk to people who were at the party the next day. The things the
other people tell you will work their way into your memory
Narrative Ability - (answer)children have poor story telling skills
e.g. how was school? you receive a broken fragmented version of the child's day
Flashbulb Memories - (answer)memories so clear that it's like a video playing the memory in your mind
e.g. where were you when 9/11 happened? people had wildly different answers after 2 years even
though they said the memory was still just as vivid
