PSYC 4033 : PSYC 4033 Notes Exam 1
Document Summary
Free recall: people report as much information as they can. Recall order- can give insight to how memories were structured. Forced recall: people are forced to report a certain amount of information. Cued recall: recalled is prompted with contextual cues from encoding. But now we have potential for more ivs/dvs. Type of contextual cue (not all cues are verbal- state dependent memory) Old-new recognition: people judge studied and non studied items as either old or new. Measured- hit, miss, false alarm, correct rejection. What about guessing: bias- the degree to which someone is willing to say old , discrimination (sensitivity, d")- how well old items can be distinguished from new items. Forced-choice recognition: people choose which of several alternatives was studied. Manipulate the similarity of the targets and foils. Response times (rts): speed of responding typically measured in milliseconds (1000ms=1s) The shorter the rt, the easier the process.
