Acoustic Encoding; input of sounds, words, and music
Atkinson-Shiffrin Model (A-S); memory model that states we process information through three
systems: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
Automatic Processing; encoding of informational details like time, space, frequency, and the
meaning of words
Declarative Memory; type of long-term memory of facts and events we personally experience
Effortful Processing; encoding of information that takes effort and attention
Encoding; input of information into the memory system
Episodic Memory; type of declarative memory that contains information about events we have
personally experienced, also known as autobiographical memory
Explicit Memory; memories we consciously try to remember and recall
Implicit Memory; memories that are not part of our consciousness
Long-Term Memory (LTM); continuous storage of information
Memory; system or process that stores what we learn for future use
Memory Consolidation; active rehearsal to move information from short-term memory into long-
term memory
Procedural Memory; type of long-term memory for making skilled actions, such as how to brush
your teeth, how to drive a car, and how to swim
Recall; accessing information without cues
Recognition; identifying previously learned information after encountering it again, usually in
response to a cue
Rehearsal; conscious repetition of information to be remembered
Relearning; learning information that was previously learned
Retrieval; act of getting information out of long-term memory storage and back into conscious
awareness
Self-Reference Effect; tendency for an individual to have better memory for information that relates
to oneself in comparison to material that has less personal relevance
Semantic Encoding; input of words and their meaning
