Document Summary

Attribution of the source of the knowledge. Attributions are made for both recognition and recall: recall, need to decide whether a particular memory was correctly retrieved, recognition, need to decide why a particular item seems familiar (know / memory distinction) Source memory: making connections in memory (elaborative rehearsal) helps to form source memories, in order to recognize source of info, you need to know how it is related to other info in memory. Maintenance rehearsal: doesn"t help recall all that much helps primarily with familiarity, repeating it over again makes it more familiar, helps recognition more than recall. Memories without awareness" some memories are not available to recall: need different kinds of memory testing memory with vs. without awareness. What is this feeling of familiarity: memory that greatly affects our behavior, yet, it seems to be memory without awareness. How to test memory without awareness: direct tests of memory, conceptual, indirect test of memory, perceptual.
