Document Summary
Uggested (cid:373)e(cid:373)ory syste(cid:373) is pile of (cid:271)uildi(cid:374)g (cid:271)lo(cid:272)ks that"s used to re(cid:272)o(cid:374)struct. Accounts for st memory loss, but not lt, and does not explain how some memories can be remembered. Attributed to interference: cues are no longer associated with a certain memory but with other memories. Proactive interference: knowledge learned prior to a memory prevents its retrieval. Retroactive interference: new knowledge prevents the retrieval of old memories. Tip of the tongue experiences: display how memories can be temporarily forgotten. Repression: difficult to determine whether repressed memories remembered are true or not. Memory models: describe/organize data, make specific testable hypotheses: basic memory task: 1. Retrieval: uses either recall (freely generate as many as possible) or recognition (shown several items, asked to judge what is new or old) test for memory. Primacy effect: increased rehearsal of early items over later ones, making it more likely to be transferred to lt memory.
