LTM episodic

Question 1

episodic

Answer 1

information that is specific to a
particular event

Question 2

semantic

Answer 2

information that has general
meaning and is not specific to any particular event

Question 3

5 issues separating semantic and episodic

Answer 3

Cool Animals Can Interfere Independently
1) Co-occurrence (of events in time)
2) Associations (types involved)
3) Conditions (of retrieval and consequences of retrieval)
4) Interference (degree to which interference affects)
5) Independence (degree to which info can be dealt with independently)

Question 4

encoding specificity

Answer 4

the best conditions at retrieval are those that are most similar to the conditions at encoding

Question 5

level of processing

Answer 5

• predicts that reliance on meaningful aspects of the stimulus will improve memory for the item
• shallow vs. deep processing

Question 6

LOP experiment

Answer 6

• Ps not told that there was going to be a test for their memory
• Ps memory performance was directly related to the LOP apparently required by the question presented before the word
• Deep level at study remembered better than the words that were studied at a shallow level

Question 7

importance of context in episodic retrieval

Answer 7

• Ps performed best at test were those who were tested in the same context in which they learned
• Similar Findings when…
   manipulating the room
   influence of drugs or alcohol

Question 8

general effects of context in recall

Answer 8

• Performance was better when learning and remembering took place in the same context
• Remembering in a new context was improved if the person imagined the original context
• When more than one list is learned, performance is best when each of the lists is learned in a different context and the test context is neutral
