Document Summary
Memory is a collection of complex interconnected and interacting systems. Have different memory systems which share a common function of: Storing information (in different ways & types of information) Nonsense syllables: pim dag zol cek. Learning curve massed vs spaced practice. Overlearning studying after something is learned. Savings decreased effort needed to relearn. The more repetition (practice), the more likely information is to be remembered later. Spacing effect: distributed studying better than mass. Used to determine the strength of memory was through a measure he called savings. So savings becomes a measure of the persistence and efficiency of memory. Effective practice starts with massed practice for fast learning and proceeds to distributed practice later for retention. Clustering organizing items into related groups during recall from long-term memory. Subjective organization (tulving) look for concept/relationship to organize by. Learn language through process of stimulus (hearing, input) and response (our trials). Correct responses rewarded as is correct language use.
