Document Summary

Insight: sudden understanding of how to solve a problem as a of reorganizing the problem. Memory: the learning that has persisted over time through encoding, storage and retrieval. Memory measures: recall: retrieving info that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time. A fill in the blank question tests your recall: recognition: identifying items previously learned. A multiple choice question tests your recognition: relearning: learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time. Assesses the amount of time saved when learning the material again. Additional rehearsal (over learning) of verbal info increases retention, especially when practice is distributed over time. Tests of recognition and of time spent relearning demonstrate that we remember more than we can recall. Encoding: processing of info into the memory system - for ex: extracting meaning. Storage: process of retaining encoded info over time. Retrieval: process of getting info out of the memory storage.
