Across
- 4. the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating
- 7. The disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new info
- 9. The unconscious encoding of incidental info, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well learned info
- 11. A methodical, logical rule or procedure that grantees solving a particular problem
- 16. Encoding that requires attention and conscious effort
- 17. A view that memories emerge from interconnected neural networks, specific memories come from particular activation patterns within these networks
Down
- 1. The processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously, the brains natural mode of info processing for many functions
- 2. A newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial info and info retrieved from long-term memory
- 3. The disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old info
- 5. The tendency to recall best the last and first items in a list
- 6. The tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice
- 8. A neural center that is located in the limbic system, helps process explicit memories for storage
- 10. Memory aids, especially ones that use imagery and organizing devices
- 12. A tendency to approach a problem in a particular way that has been successful in the past
- 13. The conscious repetition of info, either to maintain it in consciousness of encode it in storage
- 14. The persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information
- 15. Organizing items into familiar, manageable units, often automatically
