-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]]> 2016-11-21 15:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ishapar5630/l0jxo71vzeoe/wish/139127028 ishapar5630 https://padlet.com/ishapar5630/l0jxo71vzeoe/wish/139130630 recall: FRQ

--Decay Theory: (retrieval failure)
--Interference Theory: (retrieval failure)
     -P(proactive) O(old affects new) R(retroactive) N(new affects old)
--Long Term Memory Interferences 
     -Reconstruction 
         -LTM changes over time 
         -eye-witness testimony isn't reliable 
         -Elizabeth Loftus

     -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)]]> 2016-11-29 15:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ishapar5630/l0jxo71vzeoe/wish/140528233 ishapar5630 https://padlet.com/ishapar5630/l0jxo71vzeoe/wish/140528535 --forgotten to do my laundry

retrograde: after an accident you cant remember anything before the accident (the vow)

episodic memory: personal memories

semantic memories: factual memories
