Herman Ebbinghaus - performed tests on himself (primarily) and others involving nonsense syllables, truly scientific/ systematic approach to memory, derived human memory capacity (7) and demonstrated malleability of human mind free recall test - remembering things "out of the blue," free response, no clues or hints cued recall test - answering questions with hints, for example recalling states from memory with the help of a blank map recognition test - identifying the correct answer, ...

anterograde amnesia - ANSWER when memory for anything new becomes impossible, although old memories may still be retrievable constructive processing - ANSWER Retrieval of memories in which those memories are altered, revised, or influenced by newer information declarative memory - ANSWER Things that people know (or can know) echoic memory - ANSWER Sounds elaborative rehearsal - ANSWER A method of transferring info from STM to LTM by making that info meaningful in some way Encoding...

There is a pattern of converging evidence with respect to prototype theory. This means that Ans- b. the same category members turn out to be privileged in a wide range of experimental tasks. An experimenter reads a list of 30 words to a group of participants at the rate of one word per second. This is immediately followed by a free-recall test. A second group of participants hears the same 30 words presented at the faster rate of two words per second. We should expect that the group ...

Levels of processing theory Craik & Lockhart (1972). Retention of items in memory based on level of depth of processing (deep vs shallow). Maintenance rehearsal (simple repetition) vs elaborative rehearsal (forming semantic associations with the material. Craik and Tulving (1975) Study: effects of elaboration of processing in a recognition memory task. Shallow (physical characteristics) / deeper (sound)/deepest (meaning) by asking questions about the word. Nelson & McEvoy Stud...

Memory Strategy you preform mental activities that can help to improve your encoding and retrieval Levels of Processing shows that you will generally recall information more accurately if you process it at a deep levels rather than a shallow one Elaboration you will concentrate on the specific meaning of a particular concept; you'll also try to relate this concept to your prior knowledge and to interconnected concepts that you have already mastered Rehearsal repeating the information you wan...

NSC 4358 EXAM 1 – 2017 CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as: a. A purely sensory experience defined by nociceptor activation b. A purely emotional experience c. A sensory and emotional experience d. An effect that emerges from the insular cortex with high specificity 2. Nociception differs from “pain” in that it refers simply to: a. The neural process of encoding noxious information b. The cortical response to acti...

Context Dependent Learning A pattern of data in which materials learning in one setting are well remembered when the person returns to that setting, but are less well remembered in other settings Context Reinstatement a strategy of re-creating the thoughts and feelings of the learning episode even if, at the time of recall, you're in a very different place Encoding Specificity Principle says that recall is better if the surroundings during retrieval are similar to the surroundings during enco...
