What is meant by “Encoding” in this lesson?Encoding and storage: Encoding processes information into a form that can support memory.
What is meant by “Storage” in this lesson?Encoding and storage: Storage concerns retention of information over time.
What is meant by “Sensory memory” in this lesson?Encoding and storage: Sensory memory briefly retains aspects of sensory input.
What is meant by “Working memory” in this lesson?Encoding and storage: Working memory temporarily maintains and manipulates information with limited capacity.
What is meant by “Long-term memory” in this lesson?Encoding and storage: Long-term memory retains information across extended intervals with multiple forms.
What is meant by “Elaboration” in this lesson?Encoding and storage: Elaboration adds meaningful relationships during processing.
What is meant by “Retrieval cue” in this lesson?Retrieval and forgetting: A retrieval cue helps access relevant stored information.
What is meant by “Interference” in this lesson?Retrieval and forgetting: Interference occurs when learning or memories compete with one another.
What is meant by “Proactive interference” in this lesson?Retrieval and forgetting: Proactive interference occurs when earlier learning disrupts later recall.
What is meant by “Retroactive interference” in this lesson?Retrieval and forgetting: Retroactive interference occurs when later learning disrupts earlier recall.
What is meant by “Reconstructive memory” in this lesson?Retrieval and forgetting: Recall combines retained information with inference and context.
What is meant by “Misinformation effect” in this lesson?Retrieval and forgetting: Later misleading information can alter reports of a remembered event.
What is meant by “Retrieval practice” in this lesson?Evidence-based study strategies: Retrieval practice actively recalls information rather than only rereading it.
What is meant by “Spacing” in this lesson?Evidence-based study strategies: Spacing distributes learning across time rather than concentrating it in one session.
What is meant by “Interleaving” in this lesson?Evidence-based study strategies: Interleaving mixes related problem types to support discrimination and selection.
What is meant by “Feedback” in this lesson?Evidence-based study strategies: Feedback provides information about performance and corrections.
What is meant by “Metacognition” in this lesson?Evidence-based study strategies: Metacognition monitors and regulates one's learning and thinking.
What is meant by “Illusion of fluency” in this lesson?Evidence-based study strategies: Fluency can create an inflated sense of learning from familiar material.
