Chapter 9: Memory

here is chapter 9 have fun dudes

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
