PSYC3315 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Explicit Memory, Short-Term Memory, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Recall is to produce an item from memory. Recognition is selecting an item seen previously- recognition is usually better than recall. Explicit- tests of explicit memory are often called direct tests- recall and recognition. Benefits from deep, meaningful encoding- levels of processing effect. When we use information from emmory but are not consciously aware that we are doing so. Proactive interference- previous learning interferes with later learning. Retroactive interference- later learning interferes with early learning. Semantic priming- more likel(cid:455) to sa(cid:455) due to e(cid:454)posure of . Test of implicit memory cue often called indirect memory test. Familiar statements/ products are more likely to be believed or trusted. Iconic memory- discrete visual sensory register that holds information for a short time- info stored as visual images- info stored decays rapidly. Echoic memory- auditory equivalent of iconic memory- brief unanalyzed memory of an auditory stimulus (an echo) Fragile storage- order of seconds- distraction leads to forgetting.
