| 480845770 | Memory | the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information | |
| 480845771 | Encoding (Visual, Acoustic, Semantic) | The way in which we receive and process information, whether it be vision, sounds, or facts. | |
| 480883902 | Storage (episodic, procedural and semantic) | The process of retaining information for later recall, whether it be a specific event, procedure, or fact. Divided into Long Term and Short Term. | |
| 480883903 | Retrieval (recall and recognition) | The act of bringing something back from memory, either for recollection or recognition of something. | |
| 480883904 | PDP Model | A model of memory in which knowledge is represented as connections among thousands of interacting processing units, distributed in a vast network, and all operating in parallel. | |
| 480883905 | Information Processing Model | a model of memory in which information must pass through discrete stages via the processes of attention, encoding, storage, and retrieval. | |
| 480883906 | Explicit Memory | Memories we recall intentionally and of which we have conscious awareness | |
| 480883907 | Implicit Memory | Memories we don't deliberately remember or reflect on consciously | |
| 480883908 | Sensory Memory | very brief memory storage immediately following initial stimulation of a receptor | |
| 480883909 | Short Term Memory | The memory stage with a small capacity (7 +- 2 chunks) and brief duration (< 30 seconds) that we are consciously aware of and in which we do our problem solving, reasoning and decision making. | |
| 480883910 | Working Memory | Active maintenance of information in short-term storage. | |
| 480883911 | Long Term Memory | the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences. | |

| 480883918 | Maintenance rehearsal | A system for remembering involving repeating information to oneself without attempting to find meaning in it. | |
| 480883919 | Elaborative rehearsal | a memory technique that involves thinking about the meaning of the term to be remembered, as opposed to simply repeating the word to yourself over and over. | |
| 480883920 | Sensory registers | Memory systems that hold incoming information long enough for it to be processed further. | |
| 480883921 | Selective attention | The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus. | |
| 480883922 | Chunking | The process of grouping items to make them easier to remember. | |

| 480908531 | Primacy Effect | The tendency to show greater memory for information that comes first in a sequence. | |
| 480908532 | Recency Effect | The tendency to show greater memory for information that comes last in a sequence. | |
| 480908533 | Serial-Position Effect | The tendency to recall best the last and first items in a list. | |
| 480908534 | Encoding specificity | the tendency for memory of information to be improved if related information (such as surroundings or physiological state) available when the memory is first formed is also available when the memory is being retrieved. | |
| 480908535 | Context-Dependent Memory | Memory that can be helped or hindered by similarities or differences between the context in which it is learned and the context in which it is recalled. | |
| 480908536 | State-Dependent Memory | The theory that information learned in a particular state of mind (e.g., depressed, happy, somber) is more easily recalled when in that same state of mind. | |

| 480908540 | Misinformation Effect | incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event. | |
| 480908541 | Decay | Fading away of memory over time. | |
| 480908542 | Retrieval Cue Failure | The inability to recall long-term memories because of inadequate or missing retrieval cues. | |
| 480908543 | Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon | A temporary inability to remember something accompanied by a feeling that it's just out of reach. | |

| 480908547 | Anterograde Amnesia (HM) | loss of ability to create new memories after the event that causes the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long term memories from before the event remain inapt. | |
