Document Summary
What determines the memorability of a stimulus: memorability might depend on the processes that you engage with an item, depends on depth of encoding. What it ends up in memory (stm, ltm) or the level of analysis during its encoding. Test phase standard recognition memory: house, plane, door, print, light, shallow processing = worst!!, deep processing = best!!! Shallow processing: ________ written in uppercase, house, focus on structural process. Intermediate processing: _________ rhymes with floor, door. Deep processing: the _______ is shining in my eyes, light. Intermediate processing: ______ rhymes with floor, door. Deep processing: the ______ is shining in my eyes, light. Test phase standard recognition memory: door, light. Instead took words that sounded like these words (score, fight) and asked if these were one of the words studied. Cue overlay at study (encoding) and test (retrieval) Memory traces aren"t things stored in structures, and later searched for and found.
