  1. Chapter 6 Memory

  2. Memory

  3. The mental processes that enable us to retain and sue information over time

  4. Encoding

  5. The process of transforming information into a form that can be entered into and retained by the memory system

  6. Storage

  7. The process of retaining information stored in memory so that it can be used later in time

  8. Retieval

  9. The process of recovering information so that we are consciously aware of it.

  10. Stage model of memory

  11. A model describing memory as consisting of three distinct stages; sensory memory, short term memory, and long-term memory

  12. Sensory memory

  13. The stage of memory that registers information from the environment and holds it for a very brief period in time

  14. Short-term memory / Working Memory

  15. The active stage of memory in which information is stored for about 30 seconds

  16. Long-term Memory

  17. The stage of memory that represents the long-term storage of information

  18. Maintenance Rehearsal

  19. The mental or verbal repetition of information in order to maintain it beyond the usual 30 –seconds duration of short-term memory

  20. Chunking

  21. Increasing the amount of info that can be held in short-term memory by grouping related items together into a single unit

  22. Elaborative rehearsal

  23. Rehearsal that involves focusing on the meaning of information to help encode and transfer it to long-term memory

  24. Levels of Processing framework

  25. the view that info that is processed at a deeper(more meaningful) level is more likely to be remembered than info that is processed at a shallow level

  26. Procedural memory

  27. Category of long-term memory that includes memories of different skills, operations, and actions

  28. Episodic memory

  29. Category of long-term memory that includes memories of particular events

  30. Semantic memory

  31. Category of long-term memory that includes memories of general knowledge of facts, names and concepts

  32. Explicit memory

  33. Information or knowledge that can be consciously recollected; also known as declarative memory

  34. Implicit memory

  35. Information or knowledge that affects behavior or task performance but cannot be consciously recollected

  36. Clustering

  37. Organizing items into related groups during recall from long-term memory

  38. Semantic Network Model

  39. A model that describes units of information in long-term memory as being organized in a complex network of association

  40. Retrieval

  41. The process of accessing stored information

  42. Retrieval cue

  43. A clue, prompt, or hint that helps trigger recall of a given piece of information in long-term memory

  44. Retrieval Cue Failure

  45. The inability to recall long-term memories because of inadequate or missing retrieval cues

  46. Tip-of-the tongue Experience

  47. 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

  48. Recall

  49. A test of long-term memory that involves retrieving information without the aid of retrieval cues; also called Free Recall

  50. Cued Recall
