Document Summary

Memory- information that can be stored and retrieved. Recall- retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time. A fill in the blank question tests your recall. Relearning- learning something more quickly when you learned it a second time. When you study for a final exam or engage a language used in early childhood you will relearn the material more easily than you did initially. Recall, recognition, and relearning speed are three ways. ***test of recognition and of time spent relearning demonstrated that we remember more than we can recall. Psychologists create memory models to help us think about how our brain forms and retrieves memories. Information-processing models are analogies that compare human memory to a computers operation to remember an event. Get information in our brain, a process called encoding. Retain that information, a process called storage. Later get the information back out, a process call retrieval.
