Study Notes
Limitations of Early Research
- Did not take into account the role of out-of-awareness memories
- Did not consider that cognitive processes can interact with and influence each other
Types of Learning
- Implicit learning: uses less attention and working memory resources
- Explicit learning: contrasts with implicit learning
Cognitive Load
- Mr. Pierce's practices: designed to reduce extraneous cognitive load (ECL)
- Reducing ECL: helps students focus on relevant information
- Increasing germane cognitive load (GCL): enhances learning and understanding
Integrated Information
- Episodic buffer: integrates information from phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and long-term memory
Sensory Memory
- Sensory information can only last for a duration of 2-3 seconds
Memory Phenomenon
- Priming: phenomenon in which past memories are activated due to exposure to something related
Deep Processing
- Research has shown that deep processing has reduced efficacy on certain experimental memory tests
Concept Generation
- Early research suggests that people generate concepts based on distinctive features and available propositions
Interference
- Proactive interference: a type of interference that occurs when prior learning affects new information
Cognitive Load Types
- GCL (germane cognitive load): related to the complexity of the material
- ECL (extraneous cognitive load): related to distractions or unnecessary elements
- ICL (intrinsic cognitive load): related to the individual's prior knowledge and experiences
Knowledge Types
- General knowledge: not mutually exclusive with domain-specific knowledge
- Conditional knowledge: refers to one's knowledge of when and how to use declarative and procedural knowledge
Forgetting and Learning
- The savings method: uses the difference in the number of repetitions until perfect recital of all syllables between the first and last session
- Proponent of the multi-store model: Atkinson & Shiffrin
Retrieval Practice
- Theory/model/hypothesis which states that re-studying has some learning benefits, but not as high as retrieval practice
Memory
- Short-term memory: can only handle 7 ± 2 pieces of information
- Procedural memory: takes time to develop into long-term memory
Unconscious Memory
- Memory of past events or experiences recalled without conscious effort or awareness
Schema
- Mental framework that dictates perception using information already acquired in the past and expectations regarding events
Implicit Learning
- Learning that occurs without intention or conscious awareness of what has been learned
