Document Summary
Lecture example, many pennies are seen, which one is the accurate rep of an american penny. We will most likely assume the wrong penny has the right shape since we don"t pay attention to the gure that is on a penny. If you want to remember something, make it distinct. Lecture example, dr. kim says 15 words out loud and we have to remember them, and see how many we can recall. Rst word, > web, if you remembered it, you experienced the primacy effect. Recency effect, > remembering words that were said near the end. Storage of memory occurs through consolidation of neural change: storage of memory is vulnerable to retention error, although you remember the general idea (arch) of the memory, somebody else might have interpreted the memory differently. Longer retention interval, the longer you wait to recall the speci c event, the more likely you are going to miss out on the details of this event.
