PS260 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Spreading Activation, Parahippocampal Gyrus, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
You could recall or recognize information in memory. In recall, we could use various cues to help with remembering. Context-dependent learning: a pattern of data in which materials learned in one setting are remembered when the person returns to that setting but less remembered in other settings. Divers who learned on land as compared to in the water performed better in the setting in which they learned the material. This is because they have established highways in the setting they are in, to the material that they could travel upon to recall the information they have learned. Context reinstatement: a strategy of re-creating the thoughts and feelings of the learning episode even if, at the time of recall, youre in a very different place. What is preserved in memory is some record of the material and also a record of the connections you established learning the material. Connections could change the meaning of what is remembered.
