Memory
encoding
getting information into memory
storage
keeping information in memory
retrieval
accessing information from memory
automatice processing
encoding of details like time, space, frequency, and the meaning of words
effortful processing
encoding of details that require effort and attention on your part
the more meaningful the information is for you, the ________ that information is encoded
better
shallow to deep
visual(surface) - acoustic(sound) - semantic(meaning
self-referential encoding
- encoding based on an event’s relation to our self concept
- leads o enhanced memory for the event
what are the stages for memory to go into storage
sensory, short-term, and long-term memory
three ways you can retrieve information
recall, recognition, relearning
free recall
no cues for retrieval aid
cued-recall
retrieval cues help bring the memory back to mind
relearning
learning information that you have previously learned
encoding specificity principle
remember best when retrieval conditions match encoding conditions
- greater match = better memory
context dependent memory
- physical context
- better memory when encoding and retrieval context match
atkinson and shiffrins model of memory
