Document Summary
Class 4, lecutre 7, chapter 5 - the acquisition of memories and the working-memory system. One way to frame learning and memory: acquisition the encoding of memory, storage, retrieval. Analogy to creating, storing, and opening a computer file. This view is problematic for at least two reasons: new learning is grounded in previously learned (stored) knowledge. Acquisition isn t independent of store, it is associated with storage and dependent upon such. What you have learned before effects where and how you learn things later: effective learning depends on how the information will be later retrieved. How you acquire new information interacts a little with retrieval. Information processing: a perspective in cognitive psychology in which complex mental events involve a number of discrete components, these components receive input from, and sent input to, one another, the modal model: This improves all parts of the curve that reflect ltm, i. e. , all items except for the last few.
