Unit 5 Memory Cognition by Diana Dimova https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/st9l90ndz6aa en-us 2016-11-21 13:26:23 UTC 2016-12-08 14:01:54 UTC hello@padlet.com 11.21 ~ I can understand sensory registers and the info-processing model. dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/st9l90ndz6aa/wish/139076000 Info-Processing Model / Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
-memory is a process > like a computer
retrieve, store, & encode info

3 Stages of Memory
-sensory memory info storage (audition is longer) (iconic & echoic)
-short-term memory storage (STM) (working or primary memory) 7+- 2 
up to 30 sec. without rehearsal
-long-term memory storage (LTM) 
finally making meaning of the info
(elaborative)

Senosry Registers = waiting rooms
(recalled: taxi cab, people in background, billboards, red billboard sign)

Explicit Memory: the memory of facts and experiences consciously
ex: memorizing vocab words for a test

Implicit: 

Procedural: 

Semantic Memory: knowing facts
ex: when is the 4th of july?

Classically Conditioned Memory: implicitly associative
ex: spiders

Episodic Memory: 
ex: a wedding

Flashbulb Memory: 
ex: reliving 9/11 feelings

Priming Memory: 
ex: croak, folk, soak > what's the white part of the egg? "yolk" 'no'

Photographic Memory: 
ex: dude who memorized all the #'s of Pi

-forgot to grab my chromebook
-left my phone unplugged overnight

-MEMORY IS STATE DEPENDENT

RETRIEVAL FAILURE:
tip of the tongue phenomenon:
seldom used words

decay theory: over time memory decays

interference theory: one memory competes with another
proactive: old interferes with new
ex: forgetting a boy/girlfriend's name
retroactive: new interferes with old
P.O.R.N

LTM Interferences
Reconstruction
LTM changes over time
eye-witness testimony, not reliable
Elizabeth Loftus
Schema
mental script, use the past
Cues
Recognition

Serial Position Effect: remember first and last, middle is lost
ex: presidents

Mood Congruent Theory: remembering things based on mood
ex: when you're happy, it'll come back when you're happy

Method of Loci: associate things with things you already know
ex: grocery list in your bedroom

Language Stages
Babbling Stage
3-4 months
spontaneous utterances
goo goo, ahh
One Word Stage
1-2 years
use one word to convey meaning


Theorists
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 the environment

Units of Language
Phonemes
smallest units of language
letters and their sounds
change phonemes, change meaning
c-a-t > 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
3. organization
4. counteract serial position
5. time management
6. employ self-monitoring and overlearning 
7. use mnemonic devices (method of loci, acrostics, acronyms, etc. ]]> 2016-12-08 13:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/st9l90ndz6aa/wish/142530853
