PSYC3315 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Lexical Decision Task, Risk Assessment, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Transfer appropriate processing predicts dissociations along mode of processing not type of test i. e. presence or absence of overlap between study and test processes. The principle of encoding specificity deals with environmental context, internal states, retrieval cues, while tap focusses on the actual task at hand and the cognitive processes it involves. Tap is a theory of memory that incorporates the encoding specificity principle. 1 conceptually driven based on meaning or meaningful processing at study semantic or deep encoding. Free recall is heavily based on conceptual internal processing. Looking at something and responding to what you see. Reading (without context), lexical decision, word identification (brief or degraded presentation) There needs to be overlap between study and test operations for performance to be good. Tap handles results involving unimpaired subjects superior alternative to explicit / implicit. Priming in amnesic patients in preserved even on conceptually driven implicit tests. Explicit memory is disrupted even on data driven explicit tests.
