Study Notes
Everyday Memory (Chapter 8)
- Autobiographical memory involves transition points, reminiscence bump, self-image theory, cognitive theory, and cultural life script theory.
- Emotion plays a role in memory; flashbulb memories are more confident, but not more accurate, and memory is often constructive.
- Source monitoring, schemas, scripts, retroactive interference, misleading post-event information, and false memories are crucial concepts.
Knowledge Chapter 9
- Defining categories using definitional, prototype, and exemplar approaches.
- Categorization hierarchies include super-ordinate, basic, and subordinate levels, impacting individual categorization.
- Semantic networks, nodes, and cognitive economy impact categorization, particularly through lexical decision tasks and spreading activation.
Language Chapter 11
- Language views, including classical, behaviorist, and cognitive perspectives, influence understanding of language's generative and dynamic aspects.
- Language understanding includes perception, production, phonemes, morphemes, and words, along with levels of analysis.
