Psychology 2B - university of Edinburgh Exam with precise || || || || || || || || ||
detailed answers ||
Loftus - ✔✔eyewitness testimony and cars "hitting" or "smashing into" each other
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Ebbinghaus - ✔✔created the forgetting curve and serial position effect in memory, learned
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
lists of 16 nonsense syllables
|| || || ||
change blindness - ✔✔Simons and Levin - asking for directions and person changes
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
mere exposure effect - ✔✔the phenomenon that repeated exposure to novel stimuli
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
increases liking of them, if they are not inherently unpleasant
|| || || || || || || || ||
consolidation + types - ✔✔systems consolidation or synaptic consolidation. changes in
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
brain activity are translated into permanent structural changes in the brain, LTP = long-
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
term potentiation. neurons that fire together wire together
|| || || || || || ||
encoding specificity hypothesis - ✔✔events are easier to remember when the context at
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
retrieval is similar to the context at encoding
|| || || || || || ||
levels of processing model - ✔✔model of memory that assumes information that is more
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
"deeply processed," or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
physical characteristics of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
longer period of time: structural encoding, phonemic encoding, semantic encoding as
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
stages. Craik and Lockhart || || ||
latent inhibition - ✔✔difficulty in establishing classical conditioning to a conditioned
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
stimulus we've repeatedly experienced alone, that is, without the unconditioned stimulus
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
(as a neutral stimulus)
|| || ||
, 2
ventrolateral prefrontal cortex - ✔✔activates and maintains info in WM, LTM encoding
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - ✔✔manipulates info in WM, encoding, LTM monitoring
|| || || || || || || || || ||
hippocampus - ✔✔contextual memory, explicit LTM || || || || ||
perirhinal cortex - ✔✔object memory and perception, item representations (familiarity)
|| || || || || || || || ||
entorhinal cortex - ✔✔gist memory || || || ||
parahippocampal cortex - ✔✔scene memory, context processing, semantic memory || || || || || || || ||
7 meaningful chunks - ✔✔Miller. Short-term memory
|| || || || || ||
LTM is divided into different components - ✔✔multiple memory systems approach
|| || || || || || || || || ||
recognition memory - ✔✔the identification of a stimulus that was encountered earlier.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
forced choice or single probe recognition. familiarity and recollection
|| || || || || || || ||
Recall - ✔✔A measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
earlier without a full prompt. free recall, serial recall or cued recall. dependent on
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
recollection
Confabulation - ✔✔A memory that is false and sometimes self-contradictory without an

intention to lie || ||
