__________

______________
Memory Process
Encode
Storage
Retrieval
Encode
acquiring / perceiving information
storage
storing information
additional information REVISED through induction
Retrieval
Retrieving information
information ADDED through induction
Moral
personal contributions through induction
Effect of memory on reasoning
- false/bad information leads to bad/false inductions
- true information leads to bad/false additions through weak induction
Framing effects
when retrieval happens:
the way the question is asked may suggest inferences that were not there
Schema
organized general packets
contains additional inferences from storage/retrieval processes
Belief persevation
holding onto beliefs simply because its already present
+effects of memory process
defense mechanism
when memory is revised/retrieved:
inferences are made to makes you look good
hindsight bias
information is revised using new information
that makes you think it was already there
Primary and recency effects
editing out information to be stored
used to potentially draw the same/different conclusions
