-our own cognition makes us different from others

-Reconstruction
-LTM changes over time
-eye-witness testimony isn't reliable

-Schema
-Mental script using the past
-Cues
-Recognition: you choose the answer
-Recall: have to find the answer on your own

Serial Position Effect: remembering the first and last in a series but taking time to remember items in the middle of a list

Mood Congruent Memory: ex.: if your happy when doing something, you'll be happy when doing it again

Language Theories
-Benjamin Worf
-Linguistic Relativity
-Language determines the way we think
-Snow and Eskimos

-BF Skinner
-language is learned through association and reinforcement
-praise for speaking

-Chomsky
-learn and speak language used in a certain environment

Language Stages
-Babbling Stage
3-4 months
spontaneaous utterances
goo goo

-One Word Stage
1-2 years old
use one word to convey meaning (holophrases)

-Two Word Stage/ Telegraphic Speech
2-1/1 years old
two words (noun and verb)

Units of Language
-Phonemes
-smallest units of language
-letters and their sounds
-change phoneme, change meaning (c-a-t or b-a-t)

-Morphemes
-smallest units  that have meaning (A, I, pre, ed, un)

7 Tips for Memory Improvement:
1. Pay attention and reduce interference
2. use rehearsal techniques (elaborate not rote)
3. Organization
4. Counteract serial position effect
5. Time Management
6. Employ self-monitoring
7. Use mnemonic devices (ex.: method of loci, peg-word, acrostics, acronyms)

-memory is a process (works like a computer: encoding, storage, retrieval)
-Atkinson Shiffrin Model (Information Processing Model)
-sensory memory to short-term memory to long-term memory
-sensory memory: visual and auditory memory
-iconic memory (visual memory) lasts for .5 seconds
-echoic memory (auditory memory) lasts for 2-4 seconds
-maintainence rehearsal (rote): keeping the information in short term memory and then either moving it to long term memory or losing it
-short term memory limited to 5-9 items
-elaborative rehearsal: making meaning of the short term memory and keeping it in long term memory
-long term memory relatively unlimited
-sensory registers
-chunking allows you to hold on to memory longer
