  1. Vocabulary Practice:Memory System Psychology (SLHS) Mr. Mitchell

  2. 1. Old information (working FORWARD in time) interferes with the retrieval of new information from LTM

  3. 2. Errors in retrieval of information from LTM caused by time, not interference.

  4. 3. The way we group bits of information together into what we call “knowledge.” It’s similar to a “stereotype.”

  5. 4. Grouping items to improve retrieval. Example: 281 is 1 item, not 3, because the digits “2-8-1” are so often combined.

  6. 5. The effect of mental or physical state on retrieval. Example: put pressure on yourself in practice and you’ll perform when you feel it in the game.

  7. 6. The longest lasting memories…also called procedural memories…involve tasks with hands and body

  8. 7. First name “John” and last name “Mitchell” are easier to remember than middle name “Harley” because of these.

  9. 8. Memory of meanings (semantic) and personal events (episodic). Often easier to describe with words than implicit memory.

  10. 9. Memories are stored in LTM, but can’t be retrieved (pulled back) into STM.

  11. 10. Eliminating the forgetting curve with repetition & rehearsal

  12. 11. Sensory memory for sounds

  13. 12. New information interferes with the retrieval of old information from LTM (by working backward in time)

  14. 13. The “human hard drive” that’s (theoretically) infinite in size and duration

  15. 14. Short-lived memories of sounds, images, and other sensory information

  16. 15. Moving items from LTM into STM

  17. 16. Rare & extremely strong memory for rich visual imagery…a.k.a. “photographic” memory

  18. 17. Sensory memory for images

  19. 18. Placement of items from STM into LTM. Sort of like saving items in RAM onto the hard drive.

  20. 19. Retrieval of correct information when it’s not visible, as with essay and fill-in tests.

  21. 20. Improving storage with repetition

  22. 21. Recollection of information, experiences, and skills from the past

  23. 22. “Working memory” that lasts 15-30 seconds. Contains stuff that’s “on your mind” RIGHT NOW

  24. 23. Improving storage by connecting new information with existing information

  25. 24. An episodic memory of great intensity. Very long-lasting

  26. 25. Permanent inability to move items FORWARD from STM into LTM…can’t form new memories.

  27. 26. Improvement in retrieval when environment is the same as when the information was stored

  28. 27. Changing information so that it may be stored in LTM. When you store not only the images and sounds of an event, but also the event’s meaning, you’re doing this.

  29. 28. A personal memory of an event YOU witnessed

  30. 29. Ability to choose the right information from a group of items, as in matching or multiple choice tests

  31. 30. Impersonal memories involving general knowledge and meanings of things
