Ability to hold information in mind for brief periods during tasks like decision-making or problem-solving.

The part of working memory that handles acoustic information, like sounds or spoken words.

The part of working memory that processes visual and spatial information, such as images and locations.

The part of working memory that acts as a bridge between working memory and long-term memory, integrating different types of information.

A technique for improving memory by grouping smaller units of information into larger, more meaningful chunks.

The maximum number of chunks of information that can be held in working memory at a time, typically around 7.

The type of memory that stores information for extended periods, from minutes to a lifetime.

The type of long-term memory that stores information about personal experiences and events.

Memory distortions are fabricated memories that are stored in the brain without being validated. These can be false recollections of events like conversations that never occurred or variations in our own memory of an event compared to someone else's.

Schemas are structured collections of past experiences that influence how we interpret and recall information. They are like mental frameworks that shape judgments and thinking.

Inference is a logical process where existing memories are used to fill in missing information based on knowledge, beliefs, or theories.

Elaboration is a learning strategy to improve memory by explaining or connecting new information to existing knowledge or experiences.

The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve shows how memory retention decreases over time if we don't actively try to recall the information.

Memory Strength refers to the durability of a memory trace in the brain. The longer you can recall something, the stronger the memory.

Forgetting is the inability to access or recall previously learned information.

The process of forgetting is shown by the Ebbinghaus curve. Information decays over time unless effort is made to retain it.

A type of memory failure where the accessibility of stored information decreases over time. It's like forgetting the details of a book you read last week.

A type of memory failure where our attention wanders, leading to forgetfulness. It's like forgetting where you put your keys because you weren't paying attention.

A type of memory failure where stored information is temporarily inaccessible. It's like knowing a word is on the tip of your tongue but unable to retrieve it.

A type of memory failure where misleading information is incorporated into memory due to leading questions or external influences. It's like a witness remembering details inaccurately after being questioned with suggestive language.

A type of memory failure where current beliefs and knowledge distort past experiences. It's like remembering a trip as more enjoyable than it actually was because you had a good time with friends.

A type of memory failure where unwanted memories intrude and persist, often associated with traumatic experiences. It's like being haunted by a bad memory you can't erase.

A type of memory failure where memories are incorrectly attributed to the wrong source or time. It's like thinking you experienced something you actually only read about.

A theory suggesting that memories fade over time if not actively recalled or rehearsed. Think of it as a fading trail in the snow.

A memory gap for a traumatic event, often associated with PTSD or being a victim of a crime.

Difficulty using and learning language due to impaired semantic memory.

Inability to recall where, when, or how you learned something, but you still know the information.

Often used to assess long-term memory, this test measures how well people remember words from a list.

Another test for long-term memory, this one involves learning and recalling a list of 15 words over multiple trials.

Experiences that evoke a strong mood are more likely to be remembered, especially if the mood is congruent with the current state. For example, a depressed person may recall sad memories more easily.

Stress, anxiety, aggression, and depression can hinder the creation of new memories and make it difficult to retrieve existing ones.

Prior knowledge and understanding of a topic make it easier to process new information related to it.

Actively discussing a topic with others helps activate relevant knowledge and improves memory for related information.

Memory disorders are a group of conditions that affect a person's ability to create and store new memories.

A condition characterized by temporary memory loss, typically affecting people over 50 and resolving within 24 hours. It's often associated with migraines, epilepsy, or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).

The inability to recall events or information that occurred before the onset of memory loss. Often caused by traumatic brain injuries.

The inability to form new memories, preventing new information from transferring from short-term to long-term memory.

Memory loss caused by psychological factors like trauma, stress, or psychological disorders. It can involve rapid loss of episodic memories, often leading to fugue states.

A decline in mental functioning that affects memory, language, judgment, emotions, and other cognitive abilities.

The invention or fabrication of memories that did not actually occur, often filling in gaps in memory.

Memory loss or the inability to form new memories. It can be caused by various factors, such as brain damage, medical conditions, substance abuse, or psychological issues.
