Document Summary

Inconsistent memories all of a sudden appear, therefore there is assertion of these new memories. An example of this was the talarico and. Forgetting curves: there is approximately 30 nonsense syllables. There is a decrease in the memory when tested for a long period of time. Forgetting curves less steep for: there were more recognition tasks which is better than the recall classes. It would take longer and harder to forget your high school classmates than nonsense syllables. Proactive interference: old information interferences with new information. When you experience both, it is an example of long term memory. External specificity: interacting with someone from two different environments (seeing a work friend at a party) Internal specificity: mood (better access when in a good mood, bad access when in a bad mood), alcohol (changes your internal state)
