  1. 3. occurs when one fails to adequately encode information into memory
  2. 5. the process of retaining information in the memory system over time
  3. 8. occurs when older information interferes with the retrieval of more recently stored information
  4. 9. ________ processing involves encoding information or stimuli on a basic level such as appearance or other surface level features
  5. 11. the finding that memory for information is improved when one practices retrieval of that information
  6. 13. occurs when more recently stored information interferes with the retrieval of previously stored information
  7. 14. occurs when information stored in memory cannot be accessed when needed
  8. 17. holds information for facts and information that require conscious and deliberate processing
  9. 19. internal or external stimuli that trigger memories into conscious awareness

  1. 1. involves problems with recalling past memories due to damage or problems within the brain
  2. 2. the spreading of one’s encoding efforts out over multiple sessions
  3. 4. the tendency for distributed practice to yield better memory for information than massed practice
  4. 6. occurs when memories fade or are lost from storage after encoding
  5. 7. this type of processing involves encoding information or stimuli semantically (based on meaning or relevance)
  6. 10. the inability to form new memories due to damage or problems within the brain
  7. 12. George Miller discovered that people can hold on average about 7 pieces of information in short-term memory at any given time. This is referred to as short-term memory __________.
  8. 15. memory for skills, procedures, and classically conditioned associations that do not require conscious or deliberate processing
  9. 16. the process of getting information into the brain/memory system for processing
  10. 18. the process of getting information out of memory storage and into conscious awareness
