Document Summary
Lab 6: recall and recognition memory with signal detection analysis. Recall task and the effects of elaborative encoding. In the first hour, most of us forget half of the words we were memorizing. Primacy effect = we remember the first few words because we repeated them a lot. = they are stored in the long term memory. Recency effect = when we remember the last few words. = they are stored in the short term memory. In last year"s experiment, 65% recall in repetition and 68% recall in visualization. Proactive interference previously learned information interferes with the retention of new information. 1st list of words is interfering with the 2nd list of words. Retroactive new information impairs the retention of previously learned information. 2nd list of words is interfering with the 1st list of words. Two lists of 20 words seen for 6 seconds. Iv = type of rehearsal (repetition vs. elaboration)
