Q

Where emotional memories are stored

25

27
Better recall for first two or three items on a list
Primary effect
28
Better recall for the last two items on a list
Recency effect
29
External info that helps bring stored info to mind
Retrieval cues
30
A retrieval cue can serve as an effective reminder when it helps recreate the specific way in which info was initially encoded
Encoding specific principle to
31
