AP Psych Memory

emphasizes the meaning of verbal input; the deepest level of processing

• phonemic encoding

• structural encoding

• semantic encoding

• short term encoding

consists of nodes representing concepts, joined together by pathways that link related concepts

• semantic networks

• schemas

• conceptual hierarchies

• PDP models

occurs when participants' recall of an event they witnessed is altered by introducing misleading post-event information

• reality monitoring

• source monitoring

• destination memory

• misinformation effect

requires subjects to reproduce information on their own without any cues

• retention

• recall

• recognition

• relearning

occurs when older (previously learned information) interferes with the retention of new information; for example, you can't remember your new cell number because of your old one

• proactive interference

• retroactive interference

• retrograde amnesia

• confabulation

a type of declarative memory involving recall of personal experiences

• procedural memory

• implicit memory

• semantic memory

• episodic memory

the phenomenon of recalling events encoded while in a particular state of consciousness

• mood-congruent memory

• state dependent memory

• eidetic memory

• context dependent memory

occurs when subjects show better recall for items at the beginning and items at the end of a list rather than items in the middle

• method of loci

• serial position effect

• mnemonic device

• forgetting curve

the experience when forgotten information feels like it's just out of reach

• cocktail party phenomenon

• flashbulb memory

• tip of the tongue phenomenon

• source-monitoring error

making information personally relevant; one of the best ways to improve recall

• connectionist model

• phonemic encoding

• self-referent encoding

• method of loci
