Retrieval
Getting the information back out
Parallel processing
Processing things simultaneous
Semsory memory

Short-term memory
Short term memory storage, limited space
Long-term memory
Long-term memory storage unlimited space
Working memory
Actively processing, Keeps your train of thought
Explicit memories
Information we can consciously know
Automatic processing
Processing that happens without conscious effort

Produced by automatic processing, retention of learned skills
Iconic memory
Momentary remembering of a visual memory

Momentary remembering of an auditory memory
Chunking
Organizing memory into familiar and manageable units
mnomics
Visual memory aids
Spacing effect
Information is retained better when it is learned spaced out
Testing effect
Enhances memory by making people retrieve information
Sematic memory
Explicit memories that are facts and general knowledge
Episodic memory
Explicit memories of experienced events
Hippocampus
Helps process explicit memories
Memory consolidation
Storage of long-term memory in the brains “basement“
Flashbulb memories
A clear memory of an emotionally significant moment
Shallow process
Processing a verbal information on a very basic level appearance or sound of words
Deep processing
Processing a verbal information based on the meaning of the word
Long-term potentiation
Increased efficiency of potential nerve firing
Information processing model
Says our brain is like computers
Ebbinghaus retention curve
Findings that the more times someone, the less time it takes them to relearn it
Prospective memory
Remembering to perform or recall a planned action
The three stage processing model of memory
Encoding storage retrieval
Mood congruent memory
Tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one’s current mood
State dependent memory
What is learned in one state is better remembered in that state
Infantile amnesia
Don’t remember stuff as a baby
Antergrade amnesia
Inability to recall new memories
Retrograde amnesia
Inability to remember old memories
Proactive interference
Older information interferes with the recall of newer information
Retroactive interference

Repression
Defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness… anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories
