about 1/4 second
up to 20 seconds
2

this is an example of serial-position effect
this is an example of proactive interference
this is an example of inappropriate encoding
this is an example of retrograde amnesia
3
Barbara moved apartments and memorized new phone #. Now she can't recall her old # from before.
She experienced retroactive interference
She experienced retrograde amnesia
She experienced anterograde amnesia
She experienced Korsakoff's psychosis
4
Witness data is unreliable cause questions asked can make them recall events that never existed
This is known as anterograde amnesia
This is known as the misinformation effect
This is known as decay
This is known as the serial-position effect
5

long-term memory
9

The 3 sequential steps involved in memory are, in order,
encoding, retrieval, and storage
retrieval, encoding, and storage
storage, encoding, and retrieval
encoding, storage, and retrieval
12
Loftus's work on eyewitness testimony demonstrated that:
info given after event can alter a person's memory of event
memory errors are surprisingly infrequent
info given after event can't alter person's memory of event
memory errors are mainly due to repression

nondeclarative memory
sensory memory
semantic memory
long-term memory
14
Memory for factual information
episodic memory
declarative memory
semantic memory
nondeclarative memory

hippocampus
thalamus
hypothalamus
amygdala
16
Repository of memories for actions, skills, operations, and conditioned responses
short-term memory
long-term memory
sensory memory
nondeclarative memory
17
Chronological, or temporally dated, recollections of personal experiences
prospective memory
episodic memory
semantic memory
retrospective memory
18
How much storage is in
short-term memory?
limited capacity
no known limit
small
19
Tendency to mold one's interpretation of past to fit how events actually turned out is called:
the overconfidence effect
retroactive interference
selective amnesia
the hindsight bias
20

this is an example of decay
this is an example of motivated forgetting (repression)
this is an example of ineffective encoding
this is an example of proactive interference
21
The information-processing model of memory emphasizes/suggests/stresses
encoding/retrieval methods should align to maximize memory
relationship among sensory, short-term, and long-term memory
several separate memory systems work independently in brain
how new experiences change one's overall perceptive of world
22
General knowledge that is not tied to time when information was learned
semantic memory
sensory memory
retrospective memory
prospective memory
23
T studied History early Sun, Sci. at night. T mixed historians with scientists on Monday's test
this is an example of motivated forgetting (repression)
this is an example of ineffective encoding
this is an example of decay
this is an example of retroactive interference
24

25
How much storage is in
long-term memory?
limited capacity
