Document Summary

Ask participants to generate item with or without a cue. What was the name of the restaurant that we went to? . Requires search through memory to recollect that information. Relies on where the info was learned and what context. This feels familiar, so i must have seen it recently. Activation in the rhinal cortex while encoding information. Implicit memory: uses past experiences to remember things without actually thinking about them. Enables our previous experiences to help us fulfill a task. Look at how a second encounter yields different responses after the first. Riding a bike, learning the lyrics to a song. Priming indicates some sort of memory of first encounter. Faster lexical decision reaction time when you"ve already encountered a word. Indirect memory testing, such as priming task. Unconscious we don"t think about it. Explicit memory: asking people to recall or recognize. Direct memory testing, such as recall or recognition. Conscious we actively think about it.
