doesn't impact behavior because of indirect and direct impact
indirect is not strong enough to take hold

give a list of name to read outloud say testing delay test for famous names previous names rated higher

expertise
Term
Box model of memory
Definition
Serial
distinct units
storage capacity (conceptualize as closests)
Term
Levels of processing
Definition
Continuum of memory
placement on continuum depends on encoding
how we processs info changes encoding
shallow= physical
medium= acoustic
forever= depp= semantic
Term
Self-referent and issue
Definition
best form of processing issues: time to process you can control presentation, but not length of processing
Term
Fan effect

search depends on # of items on a topic
the more you know, the slower you are to answer
learn diff # of facts about a character
the larger the fan, the slower the RT on a T/F task
Term
Fan effect explaining LOP
Definition
CAPS has a huge fan
rhyming has limited fan
self referent has a small fan
Term
Working memory: visual task
Definition
holding dot positions in mind while making rotation judgements, then recall.
more errors
Term
Working memory: two differing tasks
Definition
one of each has trade offs in performance
2 visuals compete
Term
Working memory model
Definition
information isn't just stored, processing occurs
central executive
phonological/articulatory loop
visuo spatial sketchpad
buffer
Term
Central executive
Definition
triage
assign importance
assign tasks
strategies for processing
history/keeps track
Term
Buffer
Definition
holds onto info
1 or 2 items per modality
Term
WM capacity cross cultural
Definition
Capacity differences based on lanuage
not based on amount, but time
what you can remember = what you say in 2 seconds
Term
Long term working memory
Definition
Strong aspect of WM helps with corresponding task
tags in working memory connect to aspects of LTM (procedure caluclationgs representative information)
input from sensory stimuli
Term
Expertise and WM
Definition
expertise doesn't transfer
difference in stores of LTM
Term
Chunking
Definition
taking bits and making them meaningful
Term
Cown and WM-LTM
Definition
WM exists inside LTM, focusing on existing information
WM like attention
control of WM changes size and area in LTM comes from the frontal lobe
size is the amount of attention, from parietal lobe
Term
Parallel search in Workin memory
Definition
search affected by amount to be searched
resource theory
long term memory searched in parallel, depletes resources
Term
Serial position effects
Definition
Primacy
recency
Term
Serial position effects: supporting box model
Definition
Multiple stores proven by differences in performance
Intervening math task
primacy stay because LTM, recency dies due to use of STM
Term
Serial position effects: interference
Definition
Proactive= first hurts ability to learn new
retroactive=latest hurts earlier
both happen to middle items
Term
Decay vs interference
Definition
decay= item slowly dissapates
interference is losing the ability to find information
Term
Decay vs interference: experiment
Definition
stimulus
time or distractor
drop no matter what, worse for distraction
distractor either verbanl or nonverbal (attention=lightdriven search)
having no distraction is impossible
Term
STM search types
Definition
parallel (visual pop out)
serial self-terminating (1@ a time, stop when found)
serial exhaustive (1@ a time and entire list)
Term
STM search experiment
Definition
varied list length and position
main effect for length, not positions
parallele= no differences
decisions require workload

good for memory, problem soving, and creating mental model
we use models to predict what will happen
Term
Dual coding: Multicode
Definition
Creates meaningful links between audio and visual
Diagrammatic reasoning
simple = leads to understanding
hurt by seductive details
Term
Resources
Definition
Can be used for encoding and intergrating,
but can be utilized in reassembling information if components are too seperated

spaced learning allow dedication of resources more effectively
encode in many moods and places
Term
State dependent learning
Definition
context effect
encoding specificity
Term
State Dependent Context experiment
Definition
3 lists- separate, context related, blank 3 recall- blank, context cue, context related cue Best when matched best when participants create relationships
Term
Context effect: drugs
Definition
2 drinks shows encoding/recall improvement
more than that is bad
the more that matches, the better
overdose happens because of a change
Term

Definition
awareness of memory
comes in at age 8
difference between good/bad students
Term
Comprehension monitoring
Definition
Stories with information didn't fit
good readers went back and checked
skill can be taught

Metamemory: competence
Definition
High competence: the test was fair, Rank fair and did only ok
low: test was unfair, everyone did poor, but I'm better than average

Females suffer in STEM around males
females have limbic activation during math
occurs racially and ethinically
occurs verbally for boys
Term

varied delays
generate list of students from HS
pick a picture of who was at your school
visual information lasts longer than verbal
recognition better than recall
time decay

take all details and turn into gist
Term
sharpening

some details get stronger
Term

we make sense of a story

drop odd details

if missing information, we fill in with default values
can be wrong
errors during retrieval and encoding

flash bulb memory
Definition
increased amount of information (place)
coded for how detailed
Term
flash bulb memory: prompts vs non-prompts
Definition
non-prompts resulted in lots of media intrusions
didn't know why it happened until later, but claimed knowing
schema instruions
leveling and sharpening
