Document Summary
After working through this lesson"s material, you should be able to: Define the three general steps to processing data for memory (encoding, storage, and retrieval). Explain how memory is encoded: explain the effects of different levels of processing, explain how elaboration promotes encoding, describe some ways in which long -term memory can be improved through chunking mnemonics. Explain how memories are retrieved: explain the distinction between recall and recognition, explain the encoding specificity principle and context-dependent memory, explain how we know that memory is reconstructive (provide a few examples). In this first section on cognitive psychology, we will look at what memory is and how it is encoded. If you have ever said to yourself, i need to do three things, so i"d better make a list , then you were using the list so that you didn"t have to remember. If you are like most people, some things you remember easily and others you don"t.
