lcb

paired associate test

study/memorize one word paired with another, use one as a retrieval cue for the other

free association test

respond with the first word that comes to mind

the method of loci

memory palace

fixation consolidation

occurs in the hours following new learning, involves cellular processes to stabilize new learning

reconsolidation

occurs in the hours following memory retrieval, involves cellular processes to re-stabilize the retrieved memory

transfer-appropriate processing

memory performance is better when the cognitive processes (ex. shallow, deep) used during encoding match those required during retrieval (ex. shallow, deep)

anterograde amnesia

cannot remember later events that occur after brain damage

systems consolidation

occurs over a long time span, involves changes in which brain systems support the memory

ribot gradient

amnesia can be stronger for memories formed recently compared to memories formed a long time ago

standard model

the hippocampus is required only for recent memories, as memories become older they become independent of the hippocampus

transformation model

hippocampal damage produces loss of recent episodic memories, loss of remote episodic memories
