Document Summary

Psy100 lab 6: recall and recognition memory and signal detection analysis. Must have 2 independent variables and each must have 2 levels resulting in. Come in a month with 10 possible variables and stick with the best. Short and long words (2 independent variables), english and french. Essentially, a computer: codes (i. e. inputs) information, stores information, uses information, and produces and output (retrieves info) Ltm is where we hold all of our experiences and knowledge. It has a vast capacity (infinite?) and very long duration. Could fail due to storage (encoding) or retrieval errors. Possibility of recall is more likely to be remembered from the beginning and end, typically the middle position of the list are not remembered well. Known to have a primary effect due to ltm, and a recency effect due to stm. Remembering the first items in a list. Ebbinghouse graph forgetting curve (may be on exam) Made up lists on nonsense syllables: recall task.
