Title: Tricks for remembering psych stuff!
Post by: lauren.kate on June 11, 2012, 07:24:18 pm
For those of you who like the assistance of tricks to help you remember things post away! It can be things like acrostics, acronyms, things that are in alphabetical order etc :)

For example I remember supression being conscious and repression being unconscious, in that in the letter S is a lower case c! They can sound silly but they do work

I remember the roles of the central executive, which is like a ceo who gets paid a lot, with the acronym PAID
              Problem solving
Directing Attention
              Integrating information from the visuo-spatial sketchpad and phonological loop
              Decision making

To help remember the four theories of forgetting i made up (Dicks Remain In Mind) D-Decay Theory R-Retreieval Failure Theory  I-Interference Theory M-Motivated Forgetting.

No idea why it came to thought but that's how i've always remembered it now lol.

For neurons:
SAME - Sensory (Afferent), Motor (Efferent)

Brain waves in sleep:
Bitch, All Thugs Die
Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta... Don't ask me how I came up with it ahahah.

For suppression, I remember that it's conscious in that when you say "sup!" to people you have to be conscious.

Really weird but they work for me!

iPOD for research hypothesis
i = independent variable
P=population
O=operation
D= dependent variable

And add an extra D at the end to remember to include the direction :) (will increase/decrease)
so iPODD

Retrograde amnesia - Retro (meaning vintage, think of old information) = loss of memory for info BEFORE trauma
Anterograde amnesia - A for AFTER = inability to form new memories for info AFTER trauma

Proactive interference - P for PREVIOUS information inhibiting encoding/storage of new info
Retroactive interference - R for RECENT information inhibiting retrieval of previously stored information

Old information hinders our ability to remember new information
Retroactive Interference
