Document Summary
Psy270 lecture 5 memories & ltm (are our memories accurate) The generation effect better ltm if generating information than hearing/reading. Exploits multiple sensory codes = better e. g. reading = coding visually (think images) + auditory (inner voice) Ltm unlimited and holds for long time, memories compete, weird stands out e. g. go to same bar all the time, memories of being at bar get muddled. Elaboration what working memory does, can manipulate information. Two forms of rehearsal of stm: maintenance what stm does, keep information fresh. If you process information deeply, you have a better chance of recalling it later. Perceptual conditions = condition 1 + condition 2 (only rely on perceptual information) Conceptual condition = condition 3 (relies on conceptual information, need meaning) Give a shallow q (is the following word in capital letters?) Shallow, you do not need to know definition, just need to read it or look at it.
