What is the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system?

AB
memory the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information
flashbulb memory a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment of event
encoding the processing of information into the memory system--for example, by extracting meaning
storage the retention of encoded information over time
retrieval the process of getting information out of memory storage
sensory memory the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system
short-term memory activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as the seven digits of a phone number while dialing, before the information is stored or forgotten
long-term memory the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. includes knowledge, skills and experiences
working memory a newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory
automatic processing unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as wordmeanings
effortful processing encoding that requires attention and conscious effort
rehearsal the conscious repetition of information, either to maintain it in consciousness or to encode it for storage
spacing effect the tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice
serial position effect our tendency to recall best the last and first items in a list
visual encoding the encoding of picture images
acoustic encoding the encoding of sound, especially the sound of words
semantic encoding the encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words
imagery mental pictures; a powerful aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding
mnemonics memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices
chunking organizing items into familiar manageable units; oftem occurs automatically
iconic memory a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second
echoic memory a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds
long-term potentiation (LTP) an increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. bleived to be a neural basis for learning and memory
amnesia the loss of memory
implicit memory retention independent of conscious recollection
explicit memory memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare"
hippocampus a neural center that is located in the limbic system and helps process explicit memories for storage
recall a measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test
recognition a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple choice test
relearning a memory measure that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time
priming the activation, often unconsciously, of particular association in memory
deja vu that eerie sense that "i've experienced this before." cues from the current situation may subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience
mood-congruent memory the tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood
proactive interference the disruptive effect of prior learning on the recall of new information
retroactive interference the disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old information
repression in psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories
misinformation effect incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event
source amnesia attributing to the wrong source an event we have experienced, heard about

What is the relatively permanent store of memory called?

long-term memory. The relatively permanent storage of information. ( See page 283) memory. The nervous system's capacity to acquire and retain skills and knowledge. (

Which of the following is the memory system that is unlimited in space and time?

Long-term Memory. Long-term memory (LTM) is the continuous storage of information. Unlike short-term memory, long-term memory storage capacity is believed to be unlimited. It encompasses all the things you can remember that happened more than just a few minutes ago.

Which type of memory has an essentially limitless capacity?

Long-term memory is the permanent storage of information—its capacity is basically unlimited.

Is relatively permanent and practically unlimited in term storage?

Long-Term Memory is the relatively permanent memory system with a virtually unlimited capacity. Holds about seven items for no more than 20 or 30 seconds at a time without rehearsal.
