This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Montagna, Chapter 6, Remembering Processes of Memory Retrieval Getting information that is in storage into a form that can be used, Short Term Memory (STM) The memory system in which information is held for brief periods of time while being used ???? Selective Attention The ability to focus on only one stimulus from among all sensory input Echoic Memory The brief memory of something a person has just heard Working memory An active system that processes the information in short term memory, Remembering Processes of Memory Storage Holding onto information for some period of time, Remembering Models of Memory Long Term Memory The system of memory into which all the information is placed to be kept more or less permanently, Forgetting When memory fails Retrograde Amnesia Loss of memory from the point of some injury or trauma backwards, or loss of memory for the past Infantile Amnesia The inability to retrieve memories from much before age 3 Autobiographical memory The memory for events and facts related to one's personal file story, Forgetting Curve of Forgetting Distributed Practice Spacing the study of material to be remembered by including breaks between study periods Encoding Failure Failure to process information into memory Memory Trace Physical change in the brain that occurs when a memory is formed Decay Loss of memory due to the passage of time, during which the memory trace is not used Disuse Another name for decay, assuming that memories that are not used will eventually decay and disappear, Remembering Processes of Memory Encoding The set of mental operations that people perform on sensory information to convert that information into a form that is usable in the brain's storage system., Sensory Memory The very first stage of memory, the point at which information enters the nervous system through the sensory systems ???? Iconic sensory memory Visual sensory memory, lasting only a fraction of a second Eidetic Imagery The ability to access a visual memory for 30 seconds or more, Long Term Memory The system of memory into which all the information is placed to be kept more or less permanently ???? Procedural (non declarative) Memory Type of long-term memory including memory for skills, procedures, habits, and conditioned responses. These memories are not conscious but are implied to exist because they affect conscious behavior Implicit Memory Memory that is not easily brought into conscious awareness, such as procedural memory Declarative Memory Type of long-term memory containing information that is conscious and known Episodic Memory Type of declarative memory containing personal information not readily available to others, such as daily activities and events, Remembering Models of Memory Sensory Memory The very first stage of memory, the point at which information enters the nervous system through the sensory systems, Remembering Models of Memory Short Term Memory (STM) The memory system in which information is held for brief periods of time while being used, Remembering Models of Memory Information - processing model Model of memory that assumes the processing of information for memory storage is similar to the way a computer processes memory in a series of three stages Parallel Distributed Processing model (PDP) A model of memory in which memory processes are proposed to take place at the same time over a large network of neural connections Levels - of - processing model Model of memory that assumes information that is more "deeply processed," or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or physical characteristics of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer period of time, Remembering Models of Memory Levels - of - processing model Model of memory that assumes information that is more "deeply processed," or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or physical characteristics of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer period of time
