Document Summary
Identify the ways that memories do and do not accurately reflect experiences. Identify the role that schemas play in the storage of memories remembering. Encoding the process of acquiring information and entering it into memory: mnemonics are learning aids that enhance recall. While applicable to almost anything, they depend on existing knowledge store. Storage the process of maintaining information memory over time. Retrieval the process of recalling information stored in memory. Transfer-appropriate processing model of memory a model that suggests that a critical determinant of memory is how well the retrieval process matches the original encoding process. Parallel distributed processing (pdp) a theoretical model of object recognition in which various elements of the object are thought to be simultaneously analysed by several widely distributed but connected neural units in the brain. Multiple memory systems model the notion that there are separate but interacting memory systems, each with a different function.
