Document Summary

Chunking: random grouping, clustering: categorizing with meaning. State and mood dependent: tip of the tongue (misguided networking) - opposite of retrieval cues, reconstructing memories, hypnosis. Idea that you can sway a pendulum back and forth = allow them to tap into parts of brain they didn"t even know existed: misinformation effect: people who forget things and remember through hypnosis. -> not actually remembering: hypnosis will suggest something (little detail push) will make you think you remembered something: experiment: manipulate memories based on wording (sentence using word. "crash" = indicate big damage: photoshop pictures of childhood memories - even if the events didn"t actually occur --> people force themselves to "remember" the memory with fake facts; manipulation. Think of possible detailed-memories of having done the action: source monitoring: try to remember who told us what and who weve already told what to; internally remember the event and surroundings, external; check email/texts.
