| 463160163 | Memory | The persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information. | |
| 463160164 | Encoding | The processing of information into the memory system. | |
| 463160165 | Storage | The retention of encoded information over time. | |
| 463160166 | Retrieval | The process of getting information out of memory storage. | |
| 463160167 | Sensory Memory | The immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system. | |
| 463160168 | Short-Term Memory | Activated memory that holds a few items briefly, before the information is stored or forgotten. | |
| 463160169 | Long-Term Memory | The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences | |
| 463160170 | Working Memory | A newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory. | |
| 463160171 | Parallel Processing | The processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision. | |
| 463160172 | Automatic Processing | Unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings. | |
| 463160173 | Effortful Processing | Encoding that requires attention and conscious effort. | |
| 463160174 | Rehearsal | The conscious repetition of information, either to maintain it or to encode it. | |
| 463160175 | Spacing Effect | The tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through cramming. | |
| 463160176 | Serial Position Effect | Our tendency to recall best the last and first items on a list | |
| 463160177 | Visual Encoding | The encoding of picture images. | |
| 463160178 | Acoustic Encoding | The encoding of sound, especially the sound of words. | |
| 463160179 | Semantic Encoding | The encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words. | |
| 463160180 | Imagery | Mental pictures; a powerful aid to effortful processing. | |
| 463160181 | Mnemonics | Memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices. | |
| 463160182 | Chunking | Organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically. | |
| 463160183 | Iconic Memory | A momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli. | |
| 463160184 | Echoic Memory | A momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli. | |
| 463160185 | Tactile Memory | Part of sensory memory, sensory registry that holds encoded touch stimuli. | |
| 463160186 | Gustatory Memory | Part of sensory memory, sensory registry that holds encoded taste stimuli. | |
| 463160187 | Olfactory Memory | Part of sensory memory, sensory registry that holds encoded smell stimuli. | |
| 463160188 | Long-Term Potentiation | An increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory. | |
| 463160189 | Amnesia | The loss of memory. | |
| 463160190 | Implicit Memory | Retention independent of conscious recollection. | |
| 463160191 | Explicit Memory | Memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare." | |
| 463160192 | Hippocampus | A neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage. | |
| 463160193 | Recall | A measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test. | |
| 463160194 | Recognition | A measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test. | |
| 463160195 | Priming | The activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response. | |
| 463160196 | Mood-Congruent Memory | The tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood. | |
| 463160197 | Proactive Interference | The disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new information. | |
| 463160198 | Retroactive Interference | The disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old information. | |
| 463160199 | Misinformation Effect | Incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event. | |
| 463160200 | Misattribution | A memory fault that occurs when memories are retrieved but are associated with the wrong time, place, or person. |
