Total questions: 21
Worksheet time: 11mins
The set of mental operations that people perform on sensory information to process that information into a form that is usable in the brain’s storage system.
Encoding
memory
retrieval
storage
An active system that receives information from the senses, puts that information into a usable form, organizes it as it stores it away, and then retrieves the information from storage.
Encoding
memory
retrieval
storage
Getting information that is in storage into a form that can be used.
memory
retrieval
storage
encoding
Holding onto information for some period of time.
memory
retrieval
storage
encoding
The very first stage of memory; the point at which information enters the nervous system through the sensory system.
information processing model
short term memory
Sensory memory
echoic memory
Model of memory put forth by Atkinson & Shiffrin that assumes the processing of information for memory storage is similar to the way a computer processes memory in a series of three stages.
information processing model
short term memory
sensory memory
echoic memory
The memory system in which information is held for brief periods of time while being used.
echoic memory
sensory memory
Short term memory
information processing model
The brief memory of something a person has just heard.
short term memory
sensory memory
echoic memory
information processing memory
The ability to focus on only one stimulus from among all sensory input.
iconic memory
parallel distributed processing
Selective attention
levels-of-processing model
Visual sensory memory, lasting only a fraction of a second.
iconic memory
selective attention
levels-of-processing model
parallel distributed processing
A model of memory in which memory processes are proposed to take place at the same time over a large network of neural connections.
parallel distributed processing
iconic memory
selective attention
levels-of-processing model
Model of memory that assumes information that is more “deeply processed, “or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or physical characteristics of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer period of time.
levels-of-processing model
selective attention
parallel distributed processing
iconic memory
The system of memory into which all the information is placed to be kept more or less permanently.
maintenance rehearsal
working memory
Declarative (explicit) memory
Long term memory
Practice of saying information to be remembered over and over in one’s head in order to maintain it in short-term memory.
Declarative (explicit) memory
maintenance rehearsal
working memory
long term memory
An active system that processes the information in short-term memory.
long term memory
declarative (explicit) memory
Maintenance rehearsal
working memory
Type of long-term memory containing information that is conscious and known.
maintenance rehearsal
Declarative (explicit) memory
working memory
long term memory
Type of long-term memory including memory for skills, procedures, habits, and conditioned responses. These memories are not conscious but are implied to exist because they affect conscious behavior.
Elaborative rehearsal
episodic memory
Semantic memory
nondeclarative (implicit) memory
Type of declarative memory containing general knowledge, such as knowledge of language and information learned and in formal education.
nondeclarative (implicit) memory
elaborative rehearsal
episodic memory
Semantic memory
A method of transferring information from STM into LTM by making that information meaningful in some way.
semantic memory
Elaborative rehearsal
semantic network model
episodic memory
Model of memory organization that assumes information is stored in the brain in a connected fashion, with concepts that are related are stored physically closer to each other than concepts that are not highly related.
semantic network model
elaborative rehearsal
episodic memory
working memory
Type of declarative memory containing personal information not readily available to others, such as daily activities and events.

working memory
episodic memory
