| 6172228862 | effortful processing | encoding that requires attention and conscious effort. APPLICATION: requires attention and work |  | 10 |
| 6172237581 | rehearsal | the conscious repetition of information, either to maintain it in consciousness or to encode it for storage. APPLICATION: keep on practicing |  | 11 |
| 6172240580 | spacing effect | the tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice. APPLICATION: distributing |  | 12 |

| 6172250336 | imagery | mental pictures; a powerful aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding. APPLICATION: picture of something in your brain |  | 17 |
| 6172251628 | mnemonics | memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices. APPLICATION: images to help remember something |  | 18 |
| 6172252903 | chunking | organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically. APPLICATION: organize info that we know and are able to re produce them |  | 19 |
| 6172254822 | iconic memory | a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second. APPLICATION: picture only lasting for some seconds |  | 20 |
| 6172256756 | echoic memory | a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds. APPLICATION: audio lasting only some seconds |  | 21 |
| 6172975396 | long-term potentiation (LTP) | an increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory. APPLICATION: Where information you learned has potential for being long- term memory but will be remembered for longer than short- term memory is stored. |  | 22 |
| 6172976199 | flashbulb memory | a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event. APPLICATION: 911 |  | 23 |
| 6172977063 | amnesia | the loss of memory. APPLICATION: lost memories |  | 24 |
| 6172977779 | implicit memory | retention independent of conscious recollection. (Also called nondeclarative or procedural memory.) APPLICATION: When you remember information while you are not conscious like in dreams. |  | 25 |
| 6172978464 | explicit memory | memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know, also known as declarative memory APPLICATION: breathing, writing, etc |  | 26 |
| 6172981699 | hippocampus | a neural center that is located in the limbic system; helps process explicit memories for storage. APPLICATION:A part in your brain that controls memory. |  | 27 |
| 6172982516 | recall | a measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test. APPLICATION: fill in the blank part of a test |  | 28 |
| 6172983636 | recognition | a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test. APPLICATION: multiple choice |  | 29 |
| 6172985080 | relearning | a measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time. APPLICATION: learning something to help you remember it |  | 30 |
| 6172985836 | priming | the activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response. APPLICATION: When you remember something unconsciously | 31 | |
| 6172986650 | deja vu | Cues from the current situation may subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience. APPLICATION: the feeling "i've experienced this before" |  | 32 |
| 6172987629 | mood-congruent memory | the tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood. APPLICATION: When you remember something based on how you are feeling. |  | 33 |
| 6172988427 | proactive interference | the disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new info. APPLICATION:When your brain is trying to remember something but you are also trying to remember new information. |  | 34 |
| 6172989342 | retroactive interference | the disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old information. APPLICATION: remembering new info but also old info |  | 35 |
| 6172995991 | repression | in psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories from consciousness. APPLICATION: when your brain keeps you from remembering certain things such as traumatic events. |  | 36 |

| 6172997473 | source amnesia | attributing to the wrong source an event we have experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined. Source amnesia, along with the misinformation effect, is at the heart of many false memories. APPLICATION: not remembering info due to an event where you may even remember something wrong. |  | 38 |
