Levels of Processing
Give this one a try later!
Alternative to the standard three-component memory model. Information
subjected only to maintenance rehearsal is not being processed more
deeply into the meaning-based levels of the memory system and therefore
tends not to be recalled or reorganized as accurately as information
subjected to elaborative rehearsal
Rehearsal
Give this one a try later!
The mental repetition or practicing of some to-be-learned material
,Characteristic Features
Give this one a try later!
In Smith et al.'s model of semantic memory, characteristic features are the
features and properties of a concept that are common but are not essential
to the meaning of the concept
Repetition Priming
Give this one a try later!
A previous encounter with information facilitates later performance on the
same information, even when we are unaware of it happening
Modularity
Give this one a try later!
A theoretical perspective in which different abilities, characteristics, types
of cognitive processes and so forth are theorized to be represented in
separate components or modules in memory
Node
Give this one a try later!
, Especially in network models, a point or location in the long-term memory
representation of knowledge; a concept or its representation in memory
Affect
Give this one a try later!
A subjective feeling experienced in response to a thought or other
stimulus; mood or emotion especially as demonstrated in external physical
signs
Anomia
Give this one a try later!
A difficulty in finding a word
Retroactive Interference
Give this one a try later!
The interference from a recent event or experience that influences memory
for an earlier event, such as trying to recall the items from list 1 but instead
recalling the items from list 2 (remembering ← actions)
Sentence Verification Task
, Give this one a try later!
Simple sentences are presented for the subjects' yes/no or T/F decisions
- Also known as 2AFC
- i.e., a bat is a bird
- Most early tests of semantic memory models adopted the sentence
verification task
- RT often used as metric
Discrete Approach
Give this one a try later!
Label the emotion (i.e. sadness, contentment, anger, etc.)
Property Statement
Give this one a try later!
Simple statement in which the relationship being expressed is "X has the
property or feature Y" (eg. a robin has wings)
Network
Give this one a try later!
A structure for information stored in long-term semantic memory, assumed
by several popular models of mental processing. In most network models,
concepts are represented as nodes that are interconnected by means of
