Forgetting what occurs with the passage of time. A lapse in attention that results in memory failure. The inability to transfer new information from the short- Remembering to do things in the future. The process by which memories become stable in the brain. The intrusive recollection of events that we wish we could forget. The ability to store and retrieve information over time. Active maintenance of information in short- The distorting influences of present knowledge, beliefs, and feelings on recollection of previous experiences. The process of transforming what we perceive, think, or feel into an enduring memory. A fast- Situations in which earlier learning impairs memory for information acquired later. The idea that memory is likely to transfer from one situation to another when the encoding and retrieval contexts of the situations match. Combining small pieces of information into larger clusters or chunks that are more easily held in short- Situations in which later learning impairs memory for information acquired earlier. The process of maintaining information in memory over time. A type of storage that holds nonsensory information for more than a few seconds but less than a minute. Detailed recollections of when and where we heard about shocking events. A failure to retrieve information that is available in memory even though you are trying to produce it. A type of storage that holds information for hours, days, weeks, or years. A network of associated facts and concepts that make up our general knowledge of the world. The influence of past experiences on later behavior and performance, even without an effort to remember them or an awareness of the recollection. The gradual acquisition of skills as a result of practice, or "knowing how" to do things. A type of storage that holds sensory information for a few seconds or less. A process whereby communication across the synapse between neurons strengthens the connection, making further communication easier. The process of keeping information in short- Assigning a recollection or an idea to the wrong source. The process of relating new information in a meaningful way to knowledge that is already in memory. An enhanced ability to think of a stimulus, such as a word or object, as a result of a recent exposure to the stimulus. The inability to retrieve information that was acquired before a particular date, usually the date of an injury or surgery. The tendency to incorporate misleading information from external sources into personal recollections. Recall of when, where, and how information was acquired. The tendency for information to be better recalled when the person is in the same state during encoding and retrieval. The collection of past personal experiences that occurred at a particular time and place. The act of consciously or intentionally retrieving past experiences. A fast- The process that causes memories to become vulnerable to disruption when they are recalled, thus requiring them to become consolidated again. |
