Document Summary
Lecture 6 recognition memory: survivors accounts elicited after 7-21 days, mostly working in domains of expertise (e. g. navigation) Memory, like all other cognitive processes, is inherently constructive. Information from encoding & cues from retrieval are all exploited to construct a response to a cue. Principles of memory (suprenant & neath, 2009) Standard model of memory (atkinson & shiffrin, 1968) Retrieval bottleneck: what we retrieve from memory depends on the details which cue that memory: memory is constructive, schema: concept/set of ideas/framework for representing some aspect of the world, also called: frames, mental sets/scripts. Misinformation: difficult to remove influence of misinformation, continued influence effect: persistent reliance on misinformation even when people can recall correction/retraction. Johnson & seifert (1994): warehouse fire: control condition: participants are just told there"s nothing in the closet, non-control conditions: told there is something in the closet and later told there was actually nothing.
