7.4 Flashcards
Levels of Processing Model- Craik+Lockhart
the more deeply an item is encoded, the more meaning it has and the better it is remembered.
maintenance rehearsal
repeating an item over and over
elaborative rehearsal
encodes the info in more meaningful ways, such as thinking about an item conceptually or deciding whether it refers to oneself.
schemas
cognitive structures that help us perceive, organize, process and use info
retrieval cue
anything that helps a person or animal recall a memory
encoding specificity principle
the idea that any stimulus that is encoded along with an experience can later trigger memory for the experience.
context-dependent memory
when the recall situation is similar to the encoding situation
state-dependent memory
when a person’s internal states match during encoding and recall, memory can be enhanced.
*A drunk person misplaces there wallet….they can’t find it until they drink again next.
mnemonics
learning aids, strategies, and devices that improve recall and memory through the use of retrieval cues.
