Encoding and Consolidation Flashcards
Stages of LTM
Encoding –> Storage/consolidation –> Retrieval
The “generation effect” refers to…
The memory benefit of generating information rather than simply observing it
Elaborative rehearsal of a word will LEAST likely be accomplished by…
Repeating it over and over again
According to the levels of processing theory, memory durability depends on the depth at which information is…
Encoded
Encoding
The process of storing information into long-term memory during the learning experience
Does repetition help to encode information better?
No
Does the intention to remember help encode information better?
No
Does depth of processing help encode information better?
Yes
Idea behind levels of processing
The deeper the stimulus is processed, the better it is encoded
Three levels of processing
Structural, phonemic, category
Structural processing
…
Phonemic processing
…
Category processing
…
What are other ways to establish deep processing?
Relating information to survival, self-reference, imagery, understanding, organization, generation
Survival is a _________ deep encoding process
GREAT
