3. Storage

Storage is the ability to retain information in the brain through memory.

Storage is important in psychology because it lets us be aware of how much our brain is really capable of.

7. Long-Term Memory: intended for storage of information over a long period of time. Despite our everyday impressions of forgetting, it seems likely that long-term memory actually decays very little over time, and can store a seemingly unlimited amount of information almost indefinitely.
This is important to psychology because it helps us understand how our brain works

38.Source amnesia is the inability to remember where, when or how previously learned information has been acquired, while retaining the factual knowledge. Source amnesia has to do with psychology because this happens from the brain not remembering. Learn more from this website http://www.evl.uic.edu/sugimoto/memSrc.html

20. Iconic Memory- Iconic memory involves the memory of visual stimuli. It is how the brain remembers an image you have seen.Iconic memory is part of the visual memory system in addition to long-term memory and visual short-term memory. It is a type of sensory memory that lasts very briefly before quickly fading.

http://psychology.about.com/od/iindex/f/iconic-memory.htm

21.Echoic Memory- is one type of sensory memory process. Specifically, echoic memory is sensory memory associated with auditory information received from the environment.

31. priming is an implicit memory effect in which exposure to one stimulus influences a response to another stimulus

Priming is important when pinpointing reasons why a response is produced.

27. Hippocampus
Hippocampus is the elongated ridges at the bottom of the ventricles of the brain that is the center of emotion, memory and the nervous system.
Hippocampus is important to psychology because it is a specific part of the brain and without it we could not function.

10. automatic processing- thinking that is nonconscious, unintentional, involuntary, and effortless.

relation to psychology: it's the processing of information that guides behavior w/o awareness and interfering with other conscious activity: i.e., driving slowly down a street (automatic processing) while looking for a specific address (conscious processing)

9. parallel processing
the ability to carry out multiple operations or tasks simultaneously

relation to psych: "This becomes most important in vision, as the brain divides what it sees into four components: color, motion, shape, and depth. These are individually analyzed and then compared to stored memories, which helps the brain identify what you are viewing. The brain then combines all of these into one image that you see and comprehend. Parallel processing has been linked, by some experimental psychologists, to the Stroop effect"

45. Mind Set - When we are solving problems, we often refer to old information we have already learned to help come up with answers.

This relates to psychology because of the brains function to assist in problems, which has been tested by many psychologists in experiments.

44. fixation - Fixation is a persistent focus of the id’s pleasure-seeking energies on an earlier stage of psychosexual development.

5. Sensory memory- is the shortest-term element of memory. It is the ability to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimuli have ended.

Sensory memory allows our brains to make quick reactions and judgments without having to wait on the information to be processed by conscious thoughts.
