Document Summary
When the learning and testing environment match performance was better. Semantic priming - when presented with words with a semantic relationship we are more likely to recall. Individuals are faster at recognizing words that are semantically famililar. Implicit memory - unconscious memory - don"t necessarily realize. More evidence for the false fame study. Give participants list of fictional names, 5 days late they gave another list and asked if they were famous - familiarity showed that individuals stated a made up name was famous because they had seen the name before. Perceptual learning - sensory experience and changing your thinking due to experience. People are more responsive to evidence that confirms their beliefs. This is similar to overregularization by schemata. We notice examples that fit this pattern more readily (biased attention) We will recall examples that fit the pattern more readily (biased memory) Base-rate information - information about the likelihood of an event.
