| 1398471108 | Memory | capacity to retain information over time | 0 | |
| 1398471109 | Encoding | conversion of incoming information into a form that can be stored in memory (auditory info) | 1 | |
| 1398471110 | Storage | maintaining information in memory over a period of time, organized information we receive | 2 | |
| 1398471111 | Retrieval | bringing stored information into mind | 3 | |
| 1398471112 | Encoding Failure | information did not get into memory | 4 | |
| 1398471113 | Storage Failure | information disappeared from memory, no longer in storage, information decays | 5 | |
| 1398471114 | Retrieval Failure | information still in memory but cannot be located | 6 | |
| 1398471115 | Decay Theory | information in memory eventually disappears if it is not used (use it or lose it) as time passes | 7 | |
| 1398471116 | Interference Theory | information stays in memory permanently even if it is not used. | 8 | |
| 1398471117 | Atkinson-Shiffrin Model of Memory: 3 memories | 1) Sensory 2) Short-term 3) Long-term | 9 | |
| 1398471118 | Capacity | how many units of information can be held at one time | 10 | |
| 1398471119 | Duration of Storage | how long information can be held | 11 | |
| 1398471120 | Reason for Forgetting | Storage failure vs. retrieval failure | 12 | |
| 1398471121 | Long-term memory contains: | Declarative Memory & Non-declarative memory | 13 | |
| 1398471122 | Declarative Memory | information you can describe: SEMANTIC MEMORY= general info, EPISODIC MEMORY= personally experienced events | 14 | |
| 1398471123 | Non-declarative Memory | information you cannot describe: skilled actions & habits | 15 | |
| 1398479254 | Chunks | a unit of information that consists of smaller units of information | 16 | |
| 1407330696 | Displacement | information being held in STM is pushed out by newly arriving information | 17 | |
| 1407344035 | Retroactive Interference | recently learned information prevents recall of earlier learned information | 18 | |
| 1407344036 | Proactive Interference | earlier learned information prevents recall of later learned information | 19 |
