| 44135466 | Memory | the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information | |
| 44135467 | Flashbulb Memory | a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event | |
| 44135468 | Encoding | the processing of information into the memory system - for example, by extracting meaning | |
| 44135469 | Storage | the retention of encoded information at the time | |
| 44135470 | Retrieval | the process of getting information out of memory storage | |
| 44135471 | Sensory Memory | the immediate initial recording of sensory information in the memory system | |
| 44135472 | Short-Term Memory | 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 | |
| 44135473 | Long Term Memory | the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system | |
| 44135474 | Automatic Processing | unconscious encoding of incedental information, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well learned information, such as word meanings | |
| 44135475 | Effortful Processing | encoding that requires attention and conscious effort | |
| 44135476 | Rehearsal | the conscious repetition of info, either to maintain it in consciousness or to encode it for storage | |
| 44135477 | Spacing Effect | the tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice | |
| 44135478 | Serial Position Effect | our tendency to recall best the first and last items in a list | |
| 44135479 | Visual Encoding | the encoding of picture images | |
| 44135480 | Acoustic Encoding | the encoding of sound, especially the sound of words | |
| 44135481 | Semantic Encoding | the encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words | |
| 44135482 | Imagery | mental pictures; a powerful aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding | |
| 44135483 | Mnemonics | memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices | |
| 44135484 | Chunking | organizing items into familiar, managable units; often occurs automatically | |
| 44135485 | Iconic Memory | a monentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second | |
| 44135486 | Echoic Memory | a momentary memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds | |
| 44135487 | Long Term Potentiation | An increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief rapid stimulation | |
| 44135488 | Amnesia | the loss of memory | |
| 44135489 | Implicit memory | retention independent of conscious recollection | |
| 44135490 | Explicit Memory | memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare." (Also called declarative memory.) | |
| 44135491 | Hippocampus | a neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage | |
| 44135492 | Recall | A measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test. | |
| 44135493 | Recognition | a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test. | |
| 44135494 | Relearning | memory measure that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time | |
| 44135495 | Priming | the activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in memory | |
| 44135496 | Deja Vu | that eerie sense that "I've experienced this before." Cues from the current situation may subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience. | |
| 44135497 | Mood Congruent Memory | the tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood | |
| 44135498 | Proactive Interference | the disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new information | |
| 44135499 | Retroactive Interference | the disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old information | |
| 44135500 | Repression | In psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories from consciousness. | |
| 44135501 | Misinformation Effect | incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event | |
| 44135502 | Source Amnesia | attributing to the wrong source an event we have experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined |
