Document Summary
Ppl who filled in blanks remembered the word better. Can empirically measure mem. trace in each condition. But depth of processing =/= defined outside mem. performance. One grp. saw pic that explained the info. After 2 days, 1 week: testing is better. Most failures of mem. are failure to retrieve. Cues are most effective when user creates them. Learn underwater or on land; test underwater or on land. Best recall: when encoding & retrieval happened @ same place. Study w/ noise or w/o; test w/ noise or w/o. Study sad or happy; test sad or happy. Associate stuff you"re learning to what you know. Hard to maintain close attention during long study session. Learning & mem. represented by physio. changes @ synapse. Retrograde amnesia: loss of mem. prior to trauma. Mem. for recent events = more fragile than remote events. Transforms new mems. from fragile state to more perm. state.
