Autobiographical memory<\/p>\r\n

Memory for the events of one\u2019s life.<\/p>\r\n

Consolidation<\/p>\r\n

The process occurring after encoding that is believed to stabilize memory traces.<\/p>\r\n

Cue overload principle<\/p>\r\n

The principle stating that the more memories that are associated to a particular retrieval cue, the less effective the cue will be in prompting retrieval of any one memory.<\/p>\r\n

Distinctiveness<\/p>\r\n

The principle that unusual events (in a context of similar events) will be recalled and recognized better than uniform (nondistinctive) events.<\/p>\r\n

Encoding<\/p>\r\n

The initial experience of perceiving and learning events.<\/p>\r\n

Encoding specificity principle<\/p>\r\n

The hypothesis that a retrieval cue will be effective to the extent that information encoded from the cue overlaps or matches information in the engram or memory trace.<\/p>\r\n

Engrams<\/p>\r\n

A term indicating the change in the nervous system representing an event; also, memory trace.<\/p>\r\n

Episodic memory<\/p>\r\n

Memory for events in a particular time and place.<\/p>\r\n

Flashbulb memory<\/p>\r\n

Vivid personal memories of receiving the news of some momentous (and usually emotional) event.<\/p>\r\n

Memory traces<\/p>\r\n

A term indicating the change in the nervous system representing an event.<\/p>\r\n

Misinformation effect<\/p>\r\n

When erroneous information occurring after an event is remembered as having been part of<\/p>\r\n

<\/a>the original event.<\/p>\r\n

Mnemonic devices<\/p>\r\n

A strategy for remembering large amounts of information, usually involving imaging events occurring on a journey or with some other set of memorized cues.<\/p>\r\n

Recoding<\/p>\r\n

The ubiquitous process during learning of taking information in one form and converting it to another form, usually one more easily remembered.<\/p>\r\n

Retrieval<\/p>\r\n

The process of accessing stored information.<\/p>\r\n

Retroactive interference The phenomenon whereby events that occur after some particular event of interest will usually cause forgetting of the original event.<\/p>\r\n

Semantic memory<\/p>\r\n

The more or less permanent store of knowledge that people have.<\/p>\r\n

Storage<\/p>\r\n

The stage in the learning\/memory process that bridges encoding and retrieval; the persistence of memory over time.<\/p>\r\n
