Flashcards covering essential concepts related to Long-Term Memory, including different types of memory, effects, and their implications.

Serial Position Curve

Better recall of items at the beginning and end of a list.

Primacy Effect

Recency Effect

Better recall of items at the end of the sequence.

Coding

The representation of a stimulus or experience, can be visual, auditory, or semantic.

Proactive Interference

Old information interferes with learning new information.

Retroactive Interference

New information interferes with old information.

Episodic Memory

Access to information that involves mental time travel to past experiences.

Semantic Memory

Access to knowledge that does not require mental time travel to past events.

Constructive Episodic Simulation Hypothesis

Episodic memories are extracted and recombined to simulate future events.

Procedural Memory

An implicit type of memory for skills and motor coordinated actions.

Priming

Presentation of a stimulus impacts later responding, often without awareness.

Expert-induced Amnesia

Attention is not required for skills that are well-learned and performed automatically.
