Psych Vocab Quiz Unit 2 Part 3

Define Memory

• A measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again

• A measure of memory in which the person identifies items previously learned

• The persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information

• A measure in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier

Define Recall

• The process of getting information into the memory system

• A measure of memory in which the person identifies items previously learned

• The persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information

• A measure in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier

Define Recognition

• A measure of memory in which the person identifies items previously learned

• A measure in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier

• The persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information

• The process of getting information into the memory system

Define Relearning

• A measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again

• A measure of memory in which the person identifies items previously learned

• A measure in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier

• The persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information

Define Encoding 

• The process of retaining encoded information over time

• The process of getting information into the memory system

• The immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system

• A newer understanding of short-term memory; conscious, active processing of both incoming sensory information and information retrieved from long term memory.

Define Storage

• A measure of memory in which the person identifies items previously learned

• A measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again

• The process of retaining encoded information over time

• The process of getting information into the memory system

Define Sensory memory 

• The immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system

• Briefly activated memory of a few times

• The relatively permanent and limitless archive of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences 

• A newer understanding of short-term memory; conscious, active processing of both incoming sensory information and information retrieved from long term memory.

Define long-term memory

• The relatively permanent and limitless archive of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences 

• A newer understanding of short-term memory; conscious, active processing of both incoming sensory information and information retrieved from long term memory.

• A memory component that coordinates the activities of the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad

• A memory component that briefly holds auditory information

Define short-term memory

Define working memory

• A newer understanding of short-term memory; conscious, active processing of both incoming sensory information and information retrieved from long term memory.

• A memory component that coordinates the activities of the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad

• A memory component that briefly holds auditory information

• A memory component that briefly holds information about objects' appearance and location in space.
