Chapter Seven Encoding: Getting Information into memory Next-in-line effect: Participants in a group take turns talking to the group and they tend to forget what was said right before their turn to speak. This happens because when participants are next in line to speak they are too preoccupied rehearsing what they are going to say. The Role of Attention: Attention ? involves focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Selective attention is important because without it the world would seem like utter chaos because you can?t block out all the other stimuli. Without this you wouldn?t be able to read a book, have a conversation with a friend or even have a coherent thought.

*Functionalism formed as a reaction to the theories of the structuralist school of thought and was heavily influenced by the work of William James. Major functionalist thinkers included John Dewey and Harvey Carr. Instead of focusing on the mental processes themselves, functionalist thinkers were instead interested in the role that these processes play. *Behaviorism Behaviorism became a dominant school of thought during the 1950s. It was based upon the work of thinkers such as: John B. Watson Ivan Pavlov B. F. Skinner

Research problem / question Does age affect memory in recognition of faces? Literature review 1 Bryce, M. S., & Dodson, C. S. (2013).

States of Consciousness Waking and Sleep Rhythms Consciousness ? our awareness of ourselves and our environment Biological Rhythms ? periodic physiological fluctuations Circadian Rhythm ? the biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example, of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24-hour cycle REM Sleep ? rapid eye movement sleep, a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep, because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active Alpha Waves ? the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake sleep Sleep ? periodic, natural, reversible loss of consciousness ? as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation
