Document Summary
Memory- memory is learning that persists over time; it is information that has been acquired and stored and can be retrieved. (the persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information). A multiple choice question tests your recognition. (a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned). Our recognition memory is impressively quick and vast: *relearning- learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time. Long after you cannot recall most of the people in your high school graduating class, you may still be able to recognize their yearbook pictures from a photographic lineup and pick their names from a list of names. Before the mouth can form our answer to any of the millions of such questions, the mind knows, and knows that it knows. Additional rehearsal, overlearning, of verbal information increases retention, especially when practice is distributed over time.
