The principle that we learn info together with its context, and that the overlap between the test context and what is represented in the memory determines accuracy is know as

encoding specificity

If someone is showing perseveration then they've likely had damage to their

frontal lobe

If you've had event-related potential recorded then you would have

small electrodes placed on your scalp

According to the phonological similarity effect, we're more likely to confuse words or letters that

sound similar. F + S

Although Emily doesn't very often think about her first love, she can't help getting caught up in happy memories when "their song" plays on the radio. This is an example of

state-dependent learning

The primary effect of chunking is to

stretch the capacity of STM

The standard model of consolidation proposes that the hippocampus is

strongly active when memories are first formed and being consolidated but becomes less active when retrieving older memories that are already consolidated

Consolidation that involves rapid changes at the neuronal level

synaptic consolidation

This suggestion is based on research showing that people remember material better if they learned it in a number of different locations, compared to studying the same amount of time in one location. The suggestion solves a problem raised by

the encoding specificity principle

Transfer-appropriate processing is likely to occur if

the type of encoding and type of retrieval match

Iconic memory is to echoic memory as

vision is to sound

The defining characteristics of implicit memory is

we are not conscious we are using it

refers to the number of digits a person can remember

digit span

The "magic number" according to Miller is

7 plus or minus 2

Occurs due to the repetition of an irrelevant sound

Articulatory suppression

The trail left behind by a moving sparkler

Sensory memory

The part of the working memory that coordinates the activity of the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketch pad is

The central executive

Someone has told you a number and you're repeating it over and over again to yourself this is an example of

a control process called rehearsal

Compared to the whole-report technique, the partial-report procedure involves

a smaller response set

Upper limit for STM

about 4 items

Neural process by which memories are strengthened and more permanently stored in the brain

consolidation

Refers to the process that transforms new memories into a state in which they are more resistant to disruption

consolidation

Helped bolster the idea that the prefrontal cortex is important for holding info for brief periods of time

delayed response task

Analysis of behavior after brain damage is an example of

demonstrating a double dissociation

Baddely's working memory model consists of 4 components they are

phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, central executive, episodic buffer

You recently just bought a new cell phone and had to change your number. However, your old phone number keeps interfering with your ability to remember your new number. This is an example of

proactive interference

Closely associated with implicit memory

propaganda effect

The primacy effect is attributed to

recall info stored in LTM

refers to a process proposed that occurs when a memory is later reactivated

reconsolidation

According to the multiple trace hypothesis, the hippocampus is involved in the retrieval of

remote, episodic memories

Coding refers to the way information is

represented

Memory pertains processes involved in

retaining, retrieving and using

Now that you're learning Spanish you're finding it harder to recall French words you learned earlier. This is an example of

retroactive interference

Based on the findings of Brook, which task should be easier? Keeping an image of a block letter "F" in your mind and

saying "yes" for each corner that is an inside corner and "no" for each corner that is an outside corner
