PSYCH 2H03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Processing Fluency, Episodic Memory, Perceptual Learning
Document Summary
Three principles of mnemonics: provide a structure, create a durable record visual images help, guide retrieval by providing effective cues. What makes a cue effective: strong effective cue associated strength and target, the more related the target and cue are the easier they are the remember, the state they were in when learning, specificity. Strength is usually based on the frequency of occurrence. The more networks, the better memory; the more frequent the things are seen together, the more likely they will be remembered together; form association. When, where, how they encoded the information and retrieve it; there needs to be a match betwee(cid:374) the su(cid:271)je(cid:272)t(cid:859)s state (cid:449)he(cid:374) the(cid:455) lear(cid:374) the i(cid:374)for(cid:373)atio(cid:374) a(cid:374)d the(cid:455) (cid:374)eed to retrieve it. Godden and baddeley: deep sea divers learning, match learning and retrieval location for better retrieval. Re-create the context think about the learning room to do as well as being tested in the learning room; not about physical but psychological state.
