CSCC PSY 1100 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅retention of info and experience
Encoding - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅infor to memory storage
Primacy - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅remember first few words
Recency - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅remember last few words
selective attention - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅1 aspect and ignore others
divided attention - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅concentrating on more than one activity at the same time
sustained attention - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the ability to maintain attention to a selected stimulus for a
prolonged period of time
levels of processing - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a continuum of memory processing from shallow to
intermediate to deep, with deeper processing producing better memory
elaboration - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the formation of a number of different connections around a
stimulus at any given level of memory encoding
storage - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅encompasses how information is retained over time and how it is
represented in memory
Atkinson-Shiffrin theory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅memory storage involves three separate systems:
sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
Sensory Memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Time frame to a fraction of a second
,Echoic Memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Auditory
Iconic Memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Visual
Short Term memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅time frame to 30 seconds
chunking - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Combining small pieces of information into larger clusters or chunks
that are more easily held in short-term memory.
working memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅combo of components for cognitive tasks
Long term memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅time frame to a lifetime
Explicit Memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅who what were
Implicit Memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅how to do something
Retrieval - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the process of getting information out of memory storage
motivated forgetting - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅forgetting that occurs when something is so painful or
anxiety-laden that remembering it is intolerable
flashbulb memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or
event
autobiographical memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the memory for events and facts related to one's
personal life story
, Context dependent memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅attempt to recall something
encoding specificity principle - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the idea that a retrieval cue can serve as an
effective reminder when it helps re-create the specific way in which information was initially encoded
Recall vs. Recognition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅one refers to our ability to "recognize" an event or piece
of information as being familiar, while the other designates the retrieval of related details from memory.
Serial Position Effect - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅our tendency to recall best the last (a recency effect) and
first items (a primacy effect) in a list
Forgetting - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅loss of information from long-term memory
Ebbinghaus forgetting curve - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅gradually forgetting by 9 hours
Interference theory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅other info gets in the way of remembering
Decay theory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅passage of time always increases forgetting
Amnesia - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Loss of memory
tip of the tongue phenomenon - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the temporary inability to remember something
you know, accompanied by a feeling that it's just out of reach
Marigold Linton - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅first Native American to obtain psychology PhD
Cognition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅How info is processed and manipulated into remembering
artifical intelligence - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Creating machines that require intelligence
