PSYC2071 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Explicit Memory, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Explicit memory asks if there is an episodic trace. Implicit memory draws upon the activation level within the concept unit. Bias in response as a result of learning. If a concept unit has been recently activated, there will be residual activation re. Incidental memory- information is presented without explicit instructions to rememb. The elaborateness or depth of processing at that encoding stage determines the. Deep encoding- a semantic task like generating a synonym of the presented word. Shallow encoding- a form-based task like generating a word that rhymes with the pre. At encoding, an episodic trace is automatically set up, not only linked to the pre the encoding stage. The information activated during encoding becomes associated with the episod. If implicit memory arises from residual activation in the lexical representation there sh task- which is mostly the case. Memory is better when retrieval conditions match encoding conditions. Effect on recall of compatibility between encoding and retrieval context.
