Document Summary
Long-term memory: types of long-term memory, type of knowledge stored: You never forget how to ride a bike after you learned it. Semantic: generic encyclopedic knowledge (what something is) Episodic: memory for specific events (remembering when you ran over someone) Episodic is the most fragile of the two: way knowledge is expressed: Tools in memory are expressed in behavior. Conscious knowledge: learning things for an exam. Recall: producing information; how are you using that produced information. Chunking helps: better for long-term memory (organizing big things into subgroups helps) Mental imagery: use it to integrate other pieces of information together (easy but not spontaneous: distinction between the two is important because deep processing is better for memory. Being uncertain about a results before it is given, and later asserting we knew this was going to happen all along: memory and practice, massed practice: one very long session. Ex. cramming: distributed practice: across very several short sessions.
