For instance, in "Bill hit the ball with the bat," the central relation is "HIT" repression Intentional forgetting of painful or traumatic experiences, especially in Freudian theory schema In Bartlett's words, :an active organization of past reactions or past experinces"; a knowledge structure in memory script Schank's term for a schema, a long-term memory representation of some complex event such as going to a restaurant. semantic cases Also called case roles; In a case grammar approach, the particular case played by a word or concept is said to be that word's semantic case:relationships or connections of meaning (nouns and verbs +1) semantic integration The tendency to store related pieces of information into an integrated, unified representation. source memory Memory of the exact source of information technical accuracy Accuracy in recall or recognition that is scored according to verbatim criteria. time the chronological orientation of an event (past present future) von Restorff effect In a recall task, the elevated accuracy for an item that was noticably different during list presentation, for instance, because it was written in a different color of ink. Transience the tendency to lose access to information across time, whether through forgetting, interference, or retrieval failure Absent-mindedness Everyday memory failures in remembering information and intended activities, probably caused by insuffivient attention or superficial, automatic processing during encoding Blocking Temporary retrieval failure or loss of access, such as the tip-of-tounge state, in either episodic or semantic memory Misattribution Remembering a fact correctly from past experience but attributing it to an incorrect source or context Suggestibility The tendency to incorporate information provided by others into your own recollection and memory representation Bias The tendency for knowledge, beliefs, and feelings to distort recollection of previous experiences and to affect current and future judgments and memory. Persistence The tendency to remember facts or events, including traumatic memories, that one would rather forget, that is, failure to forget because of intrausive recolections and rumination Hypermnesia The tendency for your recall to become more accurate if you test your memory several times, with only short periods between tests thematic effects Preexisting knowledge (general knowledge or a theme/title) leads to significant disortion in recognition...and grows stronger as time passes integration perspective normal comprehension takes place within the context of a person's entrie knowledge system false alarms Also called false positives. Reporting that information belongs to the original set when it is in fact novel information. The Principle of Semantic Relatedness We store separate bits of information together to the extent that those bits are related to each other
