1. Chapter 7 “___________ is the KEY for MEMORY” Qz. #4 pages 152-174 System that allows for retention of what is learned

2. Ten Principles of Memory F _________________________ F Get the info __________ the 1st time F Be sure you fully understand F Try to see the significance of what you’re learning F Involve your __________, if possible F ____________ new material with related facts you know F _______________ the material so that it can be stored F If there is a basis for doing so, divide and ___________ F Reinforce what you’ve learned through ____________ F_____________often !

3. Three Kinds of Memory 1.Episodic – memories of _____________experience 2.Semantic – general knowledge or memory for facts 3. Procedural or ___________– memory for skills Episodic – Do you remember your first interaction with a personal computer? Semantic – Do you know the meaning of personal computer? Procedural or Implicit– Are you fluent in the use of a personal computer?

4. ___________ __________ System for remembering in which items are related to easily recalled sets of symbols, such as acronyms, phrases, or jingles “i” before “e” except after “c” “Be, all that you can be!” “Like a Rock” “Every Good Boy Does Fine!” EXAMPLES

6. Three Processes of Memory._________________ 1._________________ - modifying information so that it can be placed in memory a. ____________________ code b. acoustic code c. ____________________ code 2. _______________ 2. _______________ - maintenance of information over time a.maintenance a.maintenance ___________________ (157) b.__________________________rehearsal c.organizational c.organizational systems (superordinate & subordinate) 3.__________________- 3.__________________- location of stored information and its return to consciousness a.proper a.proper cues b.context-dependent b.context-dependent memory c.state-dependent c.state-dependent memory

7. ENCODING STORING RETRIEVING

8. 1. Sensory Memory - the type or stage of memory first encountered by a stimulus. Sensory memory holds impressions briefly, but long enough so that series of perceptions are psychologically continuous. ______________________ Eye Movement Memory trace Sensory __________________  Iconic memory  _____________ memory Three Stages of Memory

9. 3 Stages of Memory

10. 2. Short Term Memory (STM) ____________________________________– the tendency to recall more accurately the first and last items in a series.  _________________ EFFECT – the tendency to recall the initial items in a series of items.  _________________ EFFECT – the tendency to recall the last items in a series of items.

12. Short Term Memory (STM) Pages 162-163 OTHER KEY TERMS: ___________________– a mental process for organizing information into meaningful units, or “chunks,” (162) ___________________– the process that occurs when new information appears in short-term memory and replaces what was already there

13. INTERFERENCE THEORY We may forget stored material because other learning interferes with it _________________Interference - forget the ________ because of the new Proactive Interference - forget the new because of the old Provide a few examples

14. 3. Long Term Memory Pages 163-166 ______________________– an idea or mental framework that helps one to organize and interpret information: a way of mentally representing the world, such as a belief or expectation, that can influence perception of persons, objects, and situations _____________________– based on the piecing together of memory fragments with general knowledge rather than a precise picture of the past

16. “THREE is still the KEY for MEMORY” SECTION 4: FORGETTING & MEMORY IMPROVEMENT (Pages 167-173)

17. In order to study FORGETTING 1 st We need to know what ______________ syllables are. (page167) 2 nd We need to know what the three basic memory tasks are. (page 167) 3 rd How are nonsense syllables and the three memory tasks related? Remember, 3 is the key

18. Meaningless sets of two _____________, with a _________ sandwiched in between, that are used to study memoryMeaningless sets of two _____________, with a _________ sandwiched in between, that are used to study memory 1 st We need to know what nonsense syllables are. (page167)

19. Three Memory Tasks A. Recognition – the easiest memory task, involving identification of objects or events encountered before B. Recall – retrieval and reconstruction of learned material a. ___________ associates – nonsense syllables presented in pairs in experiments that measure recall C. Relearning – a measure of retention; material is usually relearned more quickly than it is learned initially a. ______________________ & savings 2 nd We need to know what the three basic memory tasks are. (page167)

20. Different Kinds of Forgetting (page 169) Interference – information takes the place of what is already there Retroactive interference – forget the old because of the new Proactive interference – forget the new because of the old – the fading away of a memory – pushing disturbing memories out of our consciousness (the ejection of anxiety producing stimuli from conscious awareness) Amnesia Infantile amnesia Anterograde amnesia Retrograde amnesia

21. Amnesia Infantile or Childhood Amnesia State reasons for childhood amnesia PPsychoanalytic, biological & cognitive explanations Check textbook (pages 169-170) What is your earliest memory? How old were you?

22. Anterograde Amnesia Retrograde Amnesia Failure to remember events that occur AFTER physical trauma because of the effects of the trauma Failure to remember events that occur prior (retro = old) to physical trauma because of the effects of the trauma
