Presentation Transcript

  1. Memory unit 7a Memory

  2. the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information.

  3. Memory

  4. = the process of getting information out of memory storage.

  5. Retrieval

  6. the retention of encoded information over time.

  7. Storage

  8. the processing of information into the memory systems – for example, by extracting meaning

  9. Encoding

  10. the encoding of picture images

  11. Visual Encoding

  12. the conscious repetition of information,

  13. Rehearsal

  14. = the encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words.

  15. Semantic Encoding

  16. the tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice.

  17. Spacing Effect

  18. the encoding of sound, especially the sound of words.

  19. Acoustic Encoding

  20. our tendency to recall best the last and first items in a list.

  21. Serial Position Effect

  22. a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds.

  23. Echoic Memory

  24. an increase in a synapse’s firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory.

  25. Long-term Potentiation (LTP)

  26. a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event.

  27. Flashbulb Memory

  28. a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second.

  29. Iconic Memory

  30. organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically.

  31. Chunking

  32. mental pictures; a powerful aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding.

  33. Imagery

  34. memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices.

  35. Mnemonics

  36. activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as the seven digits of a phone number while dialing before the information is stored or forgotten.

  37. Short-term Memory

  38. the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously

  39. Parallel Processing

  40. the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences.

  41. Long-term Memory

  42. = a newer understanding of short-term memory

  43. Working Memory

  44. unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings.

  45. Automatic Processing

  46. the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system.

  47. Sensory Memory

  48. encoding that requires attention and conscious effort.

  49. Effortful Processing

  50. retention of a skill. (Also called nondeclarative or procedural memory)
