Document Summary
Maintenance rehearsal: prolonging exposure to information by repeating it bad. Elaborative rehearsal: prolonging exposure to information by thinking about the meaning good. Ability to recall is directly related to how that information was initially processed: shallow processing the superficial properties, deep processing meaning or functions. Seven times more likely to recall a deep-processed word. Self-reference effect: relating the information to yourself. Survival processing: process it as related to survival. Two forms of intentional memory retrieval: recognition: identifying a stimulus or piece of information when it is presented to you, recall: retrieving information when asked, without that information presented retrieval cues can help. Encoding specificity principle: retrieval is most effective when it occurs in the same context as encoding. Context-dependant forgetting: change in environment influenced the forgetting. Context reinstatement effect: return to original location and the memory comes back. Retrieval most effective when your internal state matches the state you were in during encoding.
