Document Summary

Any act of remembering requires acquisition, storage, and retrieval. Acquisition must put some information into your memory via learning. Storage an experience must leave some record in the nervous system (memory trace) Retrieval process through which we draw information from storage and use it. Recall process in which you retrieve information from memory in response to some cue or question. Recognition a type of retrieval that requires you to judge whether you have encountered a stimulus previously. Intentional learning placing new information into memory in anticipation of being tested on it later. Incidental learning learning without trying to learn, and often without awareness that learning is occurring. Working memory a term describing the status of thoughts in memory that are currently activated: function of the memory (used sometimes instead of short-term memory) Long-term memory vast (cid:373)e(cid:373)o(cid:396)(cid:455) deposito(cid:396)(cid:455) (cid:272)o(cid:374)tai(cid:374)i(cid:374)g all of a(cid:374) i(cid:374)di(cid:448)idual"s k(cid:374)o(cid:449)ledge a(cid:374)d (cid:271)eliefs including all those not in use at any given time.
