Act of testing self for info, practicing retrieval: primacy and recency effects. Things in beginning and ending of list are remembered best: levels of processing. Swallow and deep-deeper processing is best encoding-visual, sound, and meaning (deepest: self reference. Applying concepts to self to help remember: storage, differ on, how long they last (duration, how much they can hold (capacity, short duration (short-term)=neural activity: sensory & working. Working memory: central executive, controls the slave system (sketchpad & loop) by directing attention and allocating resources, visuospatial sketchpad, storage component, rehearsal component, phonological loop, storage component, rehearsal component, episodic buffer. Ex) read sentence, get short cues to help remember what word was: context effects. Retrieving information is assisted by cues in the environment.
