Document Summary
Tip-of-the tongue state (tot)- this happens when a memory is available, but not quite retrievable. Measuring memory: recall- a direct retrieval of facts or information. Serial position effect- you can remember the last items on a list because they are still in stm: recognition- previously recorded material is correctly identified. Ex. - if you had to take a multiple choice test on facts and ideas from a course you took last semester. You would do a lot better on the test than if you were to just try to write down everything you learned because you would only have to recognize correct answers. Comparison to recall- i may forget a name but i never forget a face . Concept of distractors- false items included with an item to be regcognized: relearning- the most sensitve measure of memory. The little boy being read greek passages when he was. He was then asked if he remembered the passages and he said no.
