MEMORY

RETENTION OF INFORMATION

 OR EXPERIENCE OVER TIME.

ENCODING

THE PROCESS BY WHICH INFORMATION

 GETS INTO MEMORY STORAGE.

 (SOME INFO INTERS AUTOMATICALLY)

ELABORATION

NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS MADE.

 (EVIDENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF BRAIN.)

STORAGE

HOW INFO IS TETAINED OVER TIME

 (IT'S REPRESENTED IN MEMORY.)

LONG TERM MEMORY

ECHOIC MEMORY (EAR)

ICONIC MEMORY

ECHOIC MEMORY- AUDITORY

CHUNKING

ORGANIZING ITEMS INTO A FAMILULAR

 UNIT.

Working Memory

The temporary storage and active,

 conscious manipulation of infor

What you use when you engage in

problem solving, reasoning, language

comprehension, and mental comparisons.

Implicit Memory

Information or knowledge that

affects behavior or task

performance but cannot be

consciously recollected

Flashbulb Memory

The recall of very specific very vivid,

rare, or significant personal event;

details may or may not be accurate.      

Encoding Failure      

The inability to recall specific information

because of insufficient encoding of the

 information for storage in long-term

memory

Retrieval      

The process of recovering information

 stored memory so that we are consciously

aware of it

LONGTERM MEMORY

The stage of memory that

represents the long-term storage

of information. Unlimited capacity for

 information. Is potentially permanent.

 If you don't use it, you can lose it.

Explicit Memory      

Information or knowledge that can be

consciouslyrec recollected; also called

declarative memory.      

Tip-Of-The-Tongue

A memory phenomenon that involves the

sensation of knowing that specific

information is stored in long-term

memory, but being temporarily unable to

retrieve it.

Clustering

Organizing items into related groups

during recall from long-term memory

Sensory Memory

Registers information from the

environment and holds it for a very

 brief period of time. (1/4 of a

second to 3 seconds) Large capacity

for information. Like a camera, and it

fades fast.
 

Recall      

A test of long-term memory that involves

retrieving information without the aid of

retrieval cues;also called free recall.      

Decay Theory

The view that fogetting is due to normal

metabolic processes that occur in the brain

over time
