9622063513memorythe persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information.0
9622063514encodingthe processing of information into the memory system—for example, by extracting meaning.1
9622063515storagethe retention of encoded information over time.2
9622063516retrievalthe process of getting information out of memory storage.3
9622063517sensory memorythe immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system.4
9622063518short-term memoryactivated 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.5
9622063519long-term memorythe relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences.6
9622063521parallel processingthe processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision. Contrasts with the step-by-step (serial) processing of most computers and of conscious problem solving.7
9622063522automatic processingunconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings.8
9622063523effortful processingencoding that requires attention and conscious effort.9
9622063524rehearsalthe conscious repetition of information, either to maintain it in consciousness or to encode it for storage.10
9622063525spacing effectthe tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice.11

9622063535long-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.21
9622063536flashbulb memorya clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event.22
9622063537amnesiathe loss of memory.23
9622063538implicit memoryretention independent of conscious recollection. (Also called non-declarative or procedural memory.)24
9622063539explicit memorymemory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare." (Also called declarative memory.)25
9622063540hippocampusa neural center that is located in the limbic system; helps process explicit memories for storage.26
9622063541recalla measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test.27
9622063542recognitiona measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test.28
9622063543relearninga measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time.29
9622063544primingthe activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response.30
9622063545déjà vuthat eerie sense that "I've experienced this before." Cues from the current situation may subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience.31
9622063546mood-congruent memorythe tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood.32
9622063547proactive interferencethe disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new information.33

4993745961boom-and-bust cyclesin which some populations repeatedly overshoot the carrying capacity and then crash catastrophically6
4993760977logistic growthgrowth rates regulated by internal and external factors until coming into and equilibrium with environmental resources -growth rate slows as pop reaches carrying c.7
4993765229S curve-sigmoidal-shaped -describes a population that decreases if its numbers exceed the carrying c. of the environment8
4993772062density-dependentfactors that correspond to the size of a population -as pop. size increases, the effect intensifies9
4993773911density-independent-often nonbiological, capricious acts of nature such as drought, early frost, flooding, landslide, or habitat destruction by people10
4993777940r-selected species-organisms that employ a high reproductive rate to overcome the high mortality of virtually ignored offsprings -tend to occupy low trophic levels -generally wide tolerance limits for environmental factors and can habit many niches (aka weedy) -many young -little/no parenting -rapid maturation -small young -reproduce once -ex: insect, clam11
4993789608K-selected species-have few natural predators -few young -intensive parenting -slow maturation -large young -reproduce many times ex: mammals12
4993880693Natalitythe production of new individuals by birth, hatching, germinating, or cloning and is the main source of addition to most biological pops. -usually sensitive to environmental conditions and is tied to strong nutrition levels, climate, soil/water conditions, and in some species social interactions13

4993886057fertilitymeasure of the actual number of offsprings produced15
4993890602mortality-death rate -determined by dividing the number of organisms that die in a certain time period by the number alive at the beg. of the period16
4993893631survivorshipthe % of a cohort that survives to a certain age17
4993895044life expectancythe probably number of years of survival for an individual of a given age18
4993914492life spanthe longest period of life reached by a given type of organism19
4993925459Survivorship curves: provide 1 ex of each animal in each curve and why1)humans-live full life span if they reach maturity and have high mortality at old age 2)probability of death is unrelated to age(seagulls) 3)(NOT PICTURED) rabbits, songbirds, high, developing country humans, mortality in early life and adults in reproductive stage fine, but past that age another high death rate 4) fish, clams, crabs, trees, high mortality in early age, those that survive to adulthood have high chance of living most of the max life for the species20
4997199412emigrationthe movement of members out of a population -2nd major factor than reduces pop. size21
4997209117bioticcaused by living organisms22

4997212465density-dependenteffects are stronger or a higher proportion of the pop is affected as pop density increases -normally biotic factors24
4997215448density-independenteffect is the same/constant proportion of the pop is affected regardless of population density -normally abiotic factors25
4997276926stress-related diseaseswhen pop. densities get very high, organisms often exhibit symptoms -aka stress shock -physical, psychological and/or behavior changes occur -dominant animals are affected the least by ovecrowding, subordinate animals affected the most26
4997305131island biogeography-islands have far fewer species than larger ones or the main lands -theory explains that diversity in isolated habitats is a balance between colonization and extinction rates27
4997328038genetic driftgradual changes in gene frequencies due to random events -founder effect and demographic bottle neck28
4997330847founder effect/ demographic bottle neckoccurs when just a few members of a species survive a catastrophic event or colonize a new habitat geographically isolated from other members of the same species -any deleterious genes present in the founders will be overrepresented in future gens -inbreeding, mating of closely relateds makes rare/recessive genes more likely29
4997347391minimum viable population size-# of individuals needed for long-term survival of rare and endangered species -use island biogeography, genetic drift, and founder effects to determine it30

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
