3.  What are the three memory processes?

4.  A.What does it do?

10.  What are the three stages of memory?

11.  1. Sensory register  2. Short term  3. Long term

12.  1. Shallow  Simple repetition  Not an effective way to encode information 

13.  Forming associations between new information that is already stored  Information has meaning and is easier to remember

14.  You used elaborative processing  You used shallow processing

16.  Using the information just taught, explain why it is difficult to remember what a penny looks like

17.  A. Sensory register  1. Information is held for a split second

18.  A. Prevent the mind from being overwhelmed  B. Provides stability, playback and recognition  C. Give decision time Which allows you to decide if something is important

20.  A. Selective attention  Concentrating on one sensation without completely blocking out other sensations

21. basic need, novel something of interest

22.  - focusing on the significant characteristics of information

23.  ONE VERTICAL LINE  ONE HORIZONTAL LINE  TWO RIGHT ANGLES  TWO VERTICAL LINES  ONE HORIZONTAL LINE  FOUR RIGHT ANGLES  HOW IS THIS FEATURE EXTRACTION

24.  a. Iconic - visual memory  information is held for a quarter second.  b. Echoic - auditory memory  information is held for 1-2 seconds

26. 1. Information is held for about twenty seconds

27.  What is your immediate memory span?

28.  Most people can remember 7-9 items

29. Number tested Period 2Period 3Period 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

30. 7 unrelated items Plus or minus Capacity can be increased by  chunking - putting information into meaningful chunks

31.  1. What is the first stage of memory  2. Explain Iconic memory  3. What is feature extraction?  4. What is the capacity of short term memory?  5. What is chunking?

32. TH-EDO-GSA-WTH-ECA-T THE DOG SAW THE CAT

33.  What is serial position effect?

34.  - MOST PERMANENT MEMORY STORAGE WITH UNLIMITED CAPACITY AND DURATION

36. Night Bed quilt dark silence fatigue clock snoring toss turn tired artichoke rest dream Sleep

37.  - retention depends on the order in which information is presented PRIMACY EFFECT - ENHANCED ABILITY TO REMEMBER FROM THE BEGINNING OF A TASK

38. RECENCY EFFECT - ENHANCED ABILITY TO REMEMBER ITEMS FROM THE END OF A TASK

39. SEMANTIC DISTINCTIVENESS  - SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THE NORM  B. Spacing - information is remembered if there is time to process in between tasks

40. You are called in for an interview and can choose your time 9,10,11,12 or 1 What time do you pick? Why What would you do if you had the 11 time?

43.  Semantic-  GENERAL FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE. WORDS, LANGUAGE RULES, DATES

44. MEMORIES FROM PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED EVENTS - (episodes of your life)

45. MEMORIES RELATED TO SKILLS AND HABITS  WE ARE UNAWARE OF THESE HABITS AND CANNOT RETREIVE THEM

46.  1. Swimming is what type of memory  Proceduralsemanticepisodic  2. How long is info held in STM?  3. How long is info held in sensory register  4. Remembering items at the beginning of the list is known as the 5. The artichoke was an example of…?

48.  write down 2 examples of each type of long term memory ◦ One example per notecard  (do not identify the type but make sure you know what it is)

50. A. RECALL VS RECOGNITION 1. RECOGNITION  - RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM MEMORY WHICH INVOLVES DETERMINING WHETHER SOMETHING IS FAMILIAR  Give me an example

51.  2. RECALL - RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM MEMORY WHICH REQUIRES RECONSTRUCTING THE MEMORY Give me an example

52.  - remembering parts of the information and then filling in the rest with what makes sense to you  ( making up memories)

53. simplifying the material

54. highlighting or overemphasizing material

55. changing details to better fit subjects own background or knowledge

57.  Using the cartoon on the bottom left, identify the type of memory used in first two clips  What term other than the type of memory fits this cartoon?

58.  1. Identifying if something is familiar  2. Simplifying information when remembering ( taking out details)  3. Changing details to fit your background  4. Highlighting parts of a memory  5. Remembering the homecoming game (memory type)

59.  1. CONTEXT - YOU RECALL MORE ACCURATELY IN THE SAME SITUATION THE EVENT TOOK PLACE - SIMILAR CONTEXTS TRIGGER DEJA VU

60.  2. STATE-DEPENDENT MEMORY  - IMPROVED RETRIEVAL WHEN IN THE SAME MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, OR DRUG INDUCED STATE THAT WAS PRESENT WHEN THE MATERIAL WAS LEARNED

61.  Think about our final exam procedures. Based purely on what you learned about memory, If you were an administrator, where would students take exams and why?  If you are diagnosed with ADD in June and are given medicine to help your ADD what would a memory expert say about you starting medicine right before your finals?

62.  On the top of the page,  Explain the difference between proactive and retroactive interference

63.  1. Decay  Forgetting is caused by passage of time

64.  We forget information because related information causes confusion  (This happens with memory, completing tasks and learning new things)

65.  Interference occurs with previous learning decreases ability to remember recent material  Ex. A teacher can’t remember your name, they call you your siblings name

66. Recently learned material interferes with ability to remember or learn old material  Ex. Your teacher can’t remember your older sibling’s name, they can only remember yours *

74.  What are mnemonic devices? What are mnemonic devices  How can we use them?

75.  1. Subjective organization A personal way to remember things

76.  2. Acronyms

77.  Visualize associations between already memorized places and new things to be memorized
