Document Summary
Declarative/ explicit memory: long-term memory knowledge that can be retrieved and reflected on consciously. Nondeclarative / implicit memory: knowledge that can influence thought and behaviour without any necessary involvement of conscious awareness. The strange thing about a chapter on episodic memory. A set of easily remembered locations in a certain order. Form a distinctive mental image of each t-be-remembered item in successive locations. To recall, look back at successive locations and see the to-be-remembered items. They provide a structure for learning (locations, pegs) Creating visual images requires effort, resulting in reliable encoding. Took a bunch of consonant-vowel-consonant syllables (beb, gar, dak, ) For ex: correct recalling 4 out of 5. Performed a relearning task: set the list aside for some period of time and relearned it later to the same criterion f accuracy. Computed a saving score: the reduction, if nay, in the number of trials of in time necessary for relearning compared to original learning.
