25 Questions

1. Forgetting theory - memories fade with time

2. Memories are stored diffusely in the brain

3. Serial learning Serial-anticipation learning Paired-associate learning Free-recall learning

4. Repeating material to hold in STM

5. Knowing how to do something

6. Sperling - sensory memory for vision - people could see more than they can remember - a partial report in an experiment involving random letters showed people forgot other letters by the time they wrote first ones down

7. Proactive interference causes proactive inhibition - retroactive interference causes retroactive inhibition

8. Acoustic dissimilarity - semantic dissimilarity - brevity - familiarity - concreteness - meaning - importance to subject

9. Iconic memory people could see more than they can remember

10. Termed icon for brief visual memory

11. Temporary memory needed to perform the task that someone is working on at that moment

12. Disrupting information that was learned prior to new items were presented

13. Memory is reconstructive rather than rote - People are more likely to remember ideas/semantics more than details/grammar

14. On the verge of retrieval

15. A list of items is learned - and then must be recalled in any order with no cue.

16. Learned and recalled in order; primacy and recency effects; serial-position U-curve demonstrates savings

17. Details - events - discrete knowledge

18. Grouping items can increase STM capacity

19. LTM is subject to...material is easier to be remembered if retrieved in same context as learning/storage

20. Tendency to group similar items in memory whether learned together or not - often into conceptual or semantic hierarchies

21. Requires subjects to recognize things learned in the past - Multiple choice test

22. Forgetting theory - competing information blocks retrieval (study: memorize list - one group sleeps while other group solves riddles for same amount of time - slept is likelier to remember more)

23. Temporary - seconds or minutes - largely auditory - items coded phonologically - 7+/- 2 capacity - chunking - subjective to interference and inhibition

24. Generate information on their own; cued and free

25. Disrupting information that was learned after new items were presented
