Memory

The Process of acquiring information and entering it into memory

the mental representation of information as a sequence of sounds

the mental representation of information as images

the mental representation of an experience by its general meaning

the process of maintaining information in memory over time

the process of recalling information stored in momory

memory of an even that happened while won was present

A type of memory containing generalized knowledge of the world

a type of memory containing information about how to do things

the process in which people intentionally try to remember something

the unintentional influence of prior experiences

A view stating how well something is remembered depends on the degree to which incoming information is mentally processed

repeating information over and over to keep it active in short-term memory

a memrization method that involves thinking about how new information relates to information already stored in long-term memory.

a memorization method that involves thinking about how new information relates to information already stored in long-term memory

a model of memory that suggests that a critical determinant of memory is how well the retrieval process match the original encoding process

Memory models in which new experiences changed one's overall knowledge base.

a medel of memory in which information is seen as passing through sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory

a type of memory that holds large amounts of incoming information very briefly, buy long enough for it to be processed further

memory systems that hold incoming information long enough for it to be processed further

the focusing of mental resources on only part of the stimulus field

the maintenance component of working memory, which holds unrehearsed information for a limited time

the art of the memory system that allows us to mentally work with, or manipulate, information being held in short-term memory.

the maximum number of item a person can recall perfectly after one presentation of the items

stimuli that are preceived as one unit or as a peaningful grouping of information

a method for determining how long information rematins in short-term memory

a relatively long-lasting stage of memory whose capacity to store new information is believed to be unlimited

a characteristic of memory in which recall of the first two of three irems in a list is particularly good

a characteristic of memory in which recall is particulaly food for the last few items in a list

stimuli that aid the recall of recognition of information stored in memory

a principle stating that the abiliy of a cue to aid retrieval depends on the degree to wch it taps into information that was encoded at the time of the original learning

memory that can be helped or hindered by similarities or differences between the context in which it is learned and the context in which it is recalled

memory that can be helped or hindered by similarities or differences between the context in which it is learned and the context in which it is recalled.

memory that is aided or impeded by a person's internal state

a principle that explains how information is retrieved in semantic newtwork theories of memory

mental representations of categories of objects, events, and people

measuring forgetting by computing the difference between the number or repetitions needed to lean and, after a delay, relearn the same material

the gradual disappearance of the mental representation of a stimulus

the process through which either the storage or the retrieval of information is impaired by the presence of other information

a cause of forgetting in which new information placed in memory inerteres with the abilit to recall information already in memory

a cause of forgetting in which information already in memory interferes with the ability to remember new information

a loss of memory for any even that occurs after a bgrain injury

a loss of memory for events prior to a brain injury
