Document Summary
Psyc 1010: module 25 storing and retrieving memories. In several experiments, carolyn rovee-collier (1993) found that a familiar context could activate memories even in 3-month-olds. After infants learned that kicking would make a crib mobile move via a connecting ribbon from the ankle, the infants kicked more when tested again in the same crib than when in a different context. State-dependent memory closely related to context-dependent memory is state-dependent memory. What we learn in one state be it drunk or sober may be more easily recalled when we are again in that state. What people learn when drunk they don"t recall well in any state (alcohol disrupts storage). But they recall it slightly better when again drunk. Someone who hides money when drunk may forget the location until drunk again. Our mood states provide an example of memory"s state dependence. Emotions that accompany good or bad events become retrieval cues (fiedler et al. , 2001).
