Document Summary
Encoding in long term memory: make sure to keep in mind the big picture, sensory memory, perception, attention, wm, wm and attention is needed for encoding memories, how cell phones can distract attention experiment. The confederates: pretending they are not apart of the study, rang cell phone. Had two groups: one group, cell and sensory memory, the other, cell and pattern recognition. Test performance: those with cell phone distraction did poorly, points about encoding, the amount of time one spends encoding has very little correlation to recall, you can use your long term memory to help better encode new ltm. It has implication as to how well one recalls info later: shallow processing. Phonemic: how it sounds/ rhymes, deeper processing semantic, experiment. Results: the deeper processing lead to better recall of words, limitations of processing theory. To process words for semantic it takes a longer time, so there is more rehearsal therefore more recall.
