Document Summary
Donald hebb- cells that fire together wire together : long term potentiation. Retreival- the memory process that occurs when information that was retained in memory comes out of storage. Recall- memories are retrieved with few external cues given. Recognition- memories are retrieved after looking at or hearing information that matches what is already in memory. Information at the beginning or end of a list tends to be remembered easily and accurately: recency, primary. Encoding specificity- the tendency for memory of any kind of information to be improved if retrieval conditions are similar to the conditions under which the information was encoded. State-dependent learning- memories formed during a particular physiological or psychological state will be easier to remember while in that state. Because it is a constructive process (it is changing) Simple re-warding can influence memory (via reconstructive memory formation) Elizabeth loftus mall study: we can induce false memories.
