Memory
Long term memory: Memories that have been stored relatively permanently. For example, knowing how to ride a bike.
Episodic Memory: A form of long term memory that is to be recalled like a 'episode' on tv. For example, "not" spencer can vividly remember running from the cops freshman year.
Implicit memory: Memories you don't remember or actively think about. For example, knowing how to play guitar.
Amnesia: A general term that describes memory loss. For example, I forgot.
Retrograde Amnesia: Forgetting memories from before whatever caused the amnesia. For example, forgetting whether or not you own a bike/what color it is, but you still remember how to ride.
Anterograde Amnesia: Not being able to make new memories. For example, Dory from Nemo.
-
Sensory memory: Short memory of all your senses in the moment. Lasts 1-4 seconds if not attended too. For example, you hear someone cough in the background.
Short term memory: Memories that you are consciously aware of before it's forgotten or stored into long term. For example, I told Nick the directions to my house but he forgets on his way here.
Working Memory: A type of memory that requires you to actively think about something. For example playing chess.
Thinking
Heuristic: An efficient mental shortcut used to solve problems and come to decisions. For example, seeing a shady looking person at night and deciding to cross the street.
Availability Heuristic: Guessing the likelihood of something happening based on prior experience/exposure to something. For example, more people being scared of flying than driving.
Representative Heuristic: Guessing the likelihood of things based on how well they match in your head. For example, Will Ferrell assuming Kevin Hart went to prison in the movie Die Hard because he was black.
Schema:Your mental network of ideas of how the world works. For example the stereotype that all women are bad drivers.
Assimilation: Learning a new piece of info that correlates with your existing schema. For example finding out different types of sandwich are good when you already knew the one u liked was good.
Accommodation: Learning a new piece of info that contradicts with your existing schema.For example, finding out santa aint real.

System 1 Fast thinking: Quick judgements based on little info given although prone to mistakes. For example, an initial quick "gut feeling" something is wrong.
System 2 slow thinking: Slow logical thought process used when solving more complex problems. For example, parking in a tight spot.
Confirmation bias: Tendency to filter out information that contradicts the way we think, look for information that supports it. For example the way people look for information that supports their presidential candidate is confirmation bias.
