PSY372H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Implicit Memory, Conditioned Taste Aversion, Classical Conditioning
Document Summary
Go over anatomy again: look through functions instead of structure for the midterm. Implicit memory: unconscious learning: we aren"t aware of the processes we use to learn this info, procedural learning: learning a motor skill, how to ride a bike. 3 factors that influence how well we learn explicitly: generation effect: practising effect, distribution practice: spreading learning through multiple, shorter lessons, testing effect: similar to generation effect, doesn"t require you to produce the material. Difference between generation and testing: in test: multiple choice, generation effect: types of answers you have to produce for a short answer question. Experiment conditions: st: continue to present and test items, snt: drop correct items, continue to test, stn: continue presentation, not testing, sntn: drop correct items, do not test. The rate of learning for the experiment regardless of the type of condition was the same.
