lecture 5 Flashcards
measurements of the memory
-recognition
-recall
recognition
Identify the item as the one you encoded
exple : mcq/ true false questions
recall
-3types-
Produce an item from memory. Fill in the blanks questions
-serial recall: repeat the items in the same order that you heard
-free recall: repeat the items in any order
-cued recall: recall the second word in a pair while they give you the first one ( A1-B1 and A2-B2)
what is the encoding similarity between recognition and recall
for both the recall and recognition the source has to be encoded
the difference in encoding for recognition and recall
+++for recognition
1/ maintenance rehearsal and repeated exposure to the material
2/smaller effects of organization at encoding
+++ for recall
1/elaborative rehearsal forming visual images of the material with attention to the context/ stronger connection with previously encoded material
2/aided by the organization of the material
retrieval for recognition/ recall
- source memory
-familiarity
source of memory : time/ episode /place/context
++recall: source memory
++recognition: source or/and familiarity
propagandist’s dream
effects of preparation /expectation
- when the participant expects a recall and gets a recall the grade is most probably less in comparison to if they expected a recall and get the recognition
-when the participant expects recognition and gets a recall the grade will be less in comparison to if they expected recognition and get a recall
effect of context
the recall is best when the contexts of encoding and retrieval match
-psychological context
-physical context
encoding specificity -state-dependent learning-
Is the theory that if you have similar conditions when retrieving information at encoding then you are more likely to have a BETTER memory.
–so if the encoding of the info is in a land and the retrieval is also in a land then the probability of getting a higher grade is better than if then the encoding was in a land and the retrieval was underwater
mean no. of errors in recalling
-the retrieval of information in a sober state is less if the encoding was in a sober state and is higher in an intoxicated state
- the retrieval of information in an intoxicated state is higher if the encoding was in a sober state and less in the intoxicated state
mood and memory
the recall is best when the mood at study matches the mood at the test
+++mood serves as a retrieval cue of the memory

multiple memory systems
+declarative
+procedural
declarative memory
is the conscious recollection of the past
+semantic: recollection of facts
+episodic: recollection of events/episodes (first airplane trip)
