Question 1: Connectionism

Answer:

A modern information-processing model that views memories as emerging from particular activation patterns within neural networks. Memory emerges from interconnected neural networks.

Question 2: Repression

Answer:

Motivated forgetting in which anxiety-arousing/painful memories are blocked from conscious awareness.Involves a failure in retrieval. Freud emphasized that we repress anxiety-arousing memories.Repression rarely occurs.

Question 3: Retrieval

Answer:

The process of getting information out of memory storage.

Question 4: Memory Trace

Answer:

A form of physical or chemical change in the nervous system. Research suggests that a memory trace is most likely to involve synaptic changes.

Question 5: Infantile Amnesia

Answer:

The inability of adults to retrieve episodic memories before the age of 2-4 years. The hippocampus is one of the last brain structures to mature.

Question 6: Relearning

Answer:

A measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again. Makes retrieval easier and improves the strength of memories. The speed of relearning confirms that information is stored and accessible.

Question 7: Long-Term Memory

Answer:

The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experience. Flashbulb memories are stored in long-term memory.

Question 8: Working Memory

Answer:

A newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory.

Question 9: Primacy Effect

Answer:

The increased ability to recall the first items among a list of items.Occurs because there is more time for rehearsal and more time to relate the piece of information to something meaningful.

Question 10: Interference and Sleep

Answer:

Information presented in the hour before sleep is protected from retroactive interference. Research has found that people who sleep after learning a list of nonsense syllables forget less than people who stay awake.

Question 11: Short-Term Memory

Answer:

Activated memory that holds a few items briefly, before the information is stored and forgotten. "The magical number seven, plus or minus two". Slightly better for auditory information than for visual information.

Question 12: Hippocampus

Answer:

A neural center located in the limbic system. Processes explicit memories for storage. Verbal information is stored in the left hippocampus and visual designs are stored in the right hippocampus.Memories are not permanently stored in the hippocampus.

Question 13: Retrograde Amnesia

Answer:

The inability to remember events in one's life which occurred prior to a brain injury.

Question 14: Memory

Answer:

The persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information.

Question 15: Long-Term Potentiation

Answer:

The increase in a neuron's synaptic firing potential that contributes to memory formation. An effect of long-term potentiation is that a receiving neuron's receptor sites may increase.

Question 16: Deep Processing

Answer:

Encoding semantically, based on the meaning of the words; tends to yield the best retention.

Question 17: Retroactive Interference

Answer:

Newly acquired information inhibits our ability to recall previously acquired information.

Question 18: Sensory Memory

Answer:

The immediate, very brief, recording of sensory information in the memory system. The ability to retain sensory information after stimuli have ended.

Question 19: Hippocampus and Stress

Answer:

The prolonged stress of sustained physical abuse may inhibit memory formation by shrinking the hippocampus. By shrinking the hippocampus, prolonged stress is most likely to inhibit the process of long-term memory formation.

Question 20: Peg-Word System

Answer:

Items to be remembered are pegged to, or associated with, certain images in a prearranged order.

Question 21: Positive Transfer

Answer:

Knowledge or skills about a previous topic help students learn a new topic.

Question 22: Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

Answer:

How well we remember information depends on how long ago we learned that information. Discovered that the rate at which we forget newly learned information is initially rapid and subsequently slows down.

Question 23: Encoding

Answer:

The processing of information into the memory system - for example, by extracting meaning.

Question 24: Context Dependent Memory

Answer:

We recall learning best if tested in the same environment.

Question 25: Priming

Answer:

The often unconscious activation of particular associations in memory.

Question 26: Misinformation Effect

Answer:

Refers to the incorporation of misleading information into one's memory of an event. The misinformation effect best illustrates the dynamics of memory construction.

Question 27: Haptic Memory

Answer:

Refers to the recollection of data acquired by touch after a stimulus has been presented.
