PSYA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Implicit Learning
Document Summary
We have a lot of trouble telling the difference between real data (stored and retrieved) and the inferences and assumptions that was laid upon the real data, to make it a real data. When we interact with the world is on a surface level. Memory is trying to reconstruct events that have little details about. We cannot encode and store every memory detail. Transfer appropriate processing: your likelihood of remembering something is highly related to similarity of the retrieval memory to the encoding context. If you learned something on dry land, you will learn about dry land better in that that type of setting-trying to remember in a context using your memory. People learn the best when the context matches setting. Prospective amnesia: in ability to remember new information. Despite the lack of conscious memory you can still learn. The claims is: amnesiacs are learning the structural of the world.
