|
Term

|
|
Term

Definition
| increasing the amount of information stored by efficiently compacting multiple elements of information into each item stored- such as storing a set of three digits as a single three-digit number. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An object recognition task in which the subject determines the initial order in which items are initially selected and then must remember the order of the choices |
|
|
Term
| release from proactive inhibition |
|
Definition
| a phenomenon in serial recall in which performance increases when subjects switch from lists of one category to another. |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| repetition-produced facilitation of identification (or other processing) of the sensory qualities of a stimulus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| accumulated world knowledge that is not tied to any particular learning event and is subject to conscious recollection |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a simple model of a category of items that shares the basic features of all items in the category |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a system that stores and manipulates speech-based information |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (serial recall) superior recall of items at the beginning of the list, usually attributed to lack of interference from preceding items |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an analysis of serial recall that measures the likelihood that each successive list item is remembered |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a system that controls and manipulates information in the visuospatial sketchpad and the phonological loop, accesses information from long-term storage sites, and distributes processed information to long-term memory sites. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| analysis that measures the rate at which human memory information is lost over time |
|
|
Term
| serial probe recognition task |
|
Definition
| a procedure for testing working memory in which, on each trial, a list of items is initially presented; then following a variable delay, memory for the item at a particular position in the list is tested. Performance is measured in terms of accuracy at different positions in the list. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in a working memory task, neurons that fire throughout the delay period when a sample stimulus must be remembered for subsequent recognition testing. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a system in working memory that supports the ability to consciously verbalize words without speaking aloud |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Studies of _ and _ indicate that memories for words and visual stimuli are organized by conceptual categories |
|
|
Term
| parahippocampal place area |
|
Definition
| the _ is activated when subjects view houses and environmental scenes relative to when subjects view faces or common objects |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the _ is activated when subjects view pictures or drawings of human body parts relative to when subjects view inanimate objects or their parts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Within the brown-peterson task, forgetting appears to primarily result from __ rather than __ |
|
|
Term
| Distributed Network Models |
|
Definition
| One approach to simulating semantic networks involves _ that represent concepts as patterns of activation across interconnected units |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an _ reference system involves the locations and directions of objects relative to one another and independent of the viewer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an _ reference system involves the locations and distances of objects relative to the position and direction of the viewer |
