Document Summary
Retrieval cue: anything that helps someone recall information from memory. Could be a word, a sight, a smell. Encoding specificity principle: any stimulus that is encoded along with an experience can later trigger memory for the experience. Context dependent memory: memory enhancement that occurs when the recall situation is similar to the encoding situation. May be similar in terms of physical location, background, music, odours and etc. Learning a list of words with instrumental background music or white noise (then recalling it in the same situation) Revisiting a childhood home or school can bring back a flood or memories. Stress can interfere with context dependent memory. State dependent memory: memory enhancement that occurs when one"s internal state during the recall situation is similar to the encoding situation. Memories are stored in multiple regions of the brain and linked through memory.
