Stasser's Learning and Cog Final Review

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Top-down processing   show
🗑
show refers to the processing of the actual environmental stimuli with that processing determined only by the nature of those stimuli (data) themselves.  
🗑
The distinction between serial versus parallel processing   show
🗑
show is the memory store very briefly that contains perceptual “copies” called icons or echoes  
🗑
show information decayed before it could be reported  
🗑
template matching   show
🗑
show Breaking a stimulus down into a set of defining cues and comparing that set to stored sets of defining cues  
🗑
show Ideal type surrounded by fuzzy boundaries  
🗑
working memory   show
🗑
Chunking   show
🗑
The point of a distractor task such as counting backwards by threes before recall   show
🗑
show (“knowing that”) consists of information that typically can be communicated verbally.  
🗑
show (“knowing how”) is knowledge of how to perform cognitive or motor skills.  
🗑
show is long-term retention of specific events in one’s life  
🗑
declarative memory   show
🗑
When you learn a skill such as keyboarding knowledge is   show
🗑
The major difference between cognitive and behavioral explanations in psychology is   show
🗑
show dichotic listening task.  
🗑
show a memory test where we must both generate the response and recognize that it is correct  
🗑
show are strategies for more efficient encoding in memory  
🗑
encoding specificity   show
🗑
show far less reliable than most people believe.  
🗑
show improve memory by making items to be recalled more vivid or meaningful.  
🗑
Surface structure   show
🗑
show the underlying structure that specifies the meaning of a sentence.  
🗑
A morpheme   show
🗑
Metacognition   show
🗑
show the tendency to think of objects as functioning in a particular way and failing to perceive other ways the object might be useful.  
🗑
show the persistence of an old strategy in a new situation and is demonstrated by the Luchins Water Jar Problem  
🗑
Whorfian (or linguistic relativity) hypothesis   show
🗑
show the fact that children produce sentences which they have never heard is taken as.  
🗑
show appears to be at best only a small part of language learning. Learning a language is very much a matter of learning the set of rules which governs the use of language.  
🗑
Code-switching   show
🗑
Phonemic restoration   show
🗑
show to add meaning to the sensory information  
🗑
Backward masking studies have been very helpful in   show
🗑
The backward masking studies have been used to confirm   show
🗑
The primary problem for template theories of pattern recognition is   show
🗑
show the structural component of structural theories  
🗑
show the smaller (compared to template theory) amount of information needed to recognize large numbers of patterns  
🗑
Studies of dichotic listening show that   show
🗑
show capacity is measured by reaction time to the secondary task.  
🗑
show the number of tasks which can be performed simultaneously depends on the amount of capacity required by each task.  
🗑
show previously learned material interferes with recall of more recently learned material  
🗑
show memory loss for previously learned information due to interference by recently learned information.  
🗑
Harlow’s research on learning sets entailed   show
🗑
show a language feature true of all language users.  
🗑
Holophrases   show
🗑
For Chomsky, the language acquisition device is   show
🗑
show Bandura’s term to refer to the extent to which a person believes he or she can accomplish some behavioral task to produce desirable consequences.  
🗑
show Ebbinghaus, his stimulus materials in memory experiments because they contained no inherent meaning for him.  
🗑
capacity of the short-term store   show
🗑
show the CS slightly precedes the US  
🗑
show that responses which are followed by rewards increase in strength.  
🗑
show Thorndike, showed that animals seem to learn by trial and error  
🗑
show If a conditioned stimulus is presented by itself following conditioning, the response previously conditioned to it will decrease in strength.  
🗑
show If stimulus A is followed by an unconditioned stimulus during training but stimulus B is not, subjects typically will learn to respond more to stimulus A.  
🗑
Example of generalization   show
🗑
show After exposing a rat to pairings of a tone with shock, an experimenter presents the tone for 3 minutes while the rat is pressing a bar to obtain food.  
🗑
show Food is presented for three seconds, followed by a two-second tone.  
🗑
example of trace conditioning   show
🗑
show memory for material is improved the more elaborately it is processed.  
🗑
show it extends the trace life but also requires capacity.  
🗑
Learning may be defined as   show
🗑
show Salivation response to food in the mouth  
🗑
show An innate, reliable response to a stimulus  
🗑
conditioned stimulus   show
🗑
conditioned response (CR)   show
🗑
show If a tone is paired with a light and then the light is paired with food, the tone will come to elicit salivation.  
🗑
show Thorndike’s apparatus used in research with cats  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
