Do(cid:374)"t k(cid:374)o(cid:449) for sure if lo(cid:374)g ter(cid:373) (cid:373)e(cid:373)or(cid:455) is deleted. Think of long term memory as having unlimited capacity. Types of retrieval: recall pull directly from mind reprodu(cid:272)tio(cid:374), deeper pro(cid:272)essi(cid:374)g, (cid:373)ore diffi(cid:272)ult (do(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e acute information) Example: essay exam: recognition re(cid:272)og(cid:374)izi(cid:374)g (cid:449)hether it"s (cid:272)orre(cid:272)t, shallo(cid:449)er pro(cid:272)essi(cid:374)g, easier. Example: name the 7 dwarfs shown picture then shown list of names. Context-dependence: memory can be helped or hindered by the similarities or differences between learning and testing environments: example: you do better on a test if you study in a similar environment. State-dependence: me(cid:373)or(cid:455) (cid:272)a(cid:374) (cid:271)e helped or hi(cid:374)dered (cid:271)(cid:455) a perso(cid:374)"s i(cid:374)ter(cid:374)al state: e(cid:454)a(cid:373)ple: if (cid:455)ou are happ(cid:455) (cid:449)he(cid:374) (cid:455)ou"re i(cid:374) (cid:272)lass, (cid:455)ou (cid:449)ill perfor(cid:373) (cid:271)etter o(cid:374) the e(cid:454)a(cid:373) if (cid:455)ou are happy or in a good mood. Mood congruence: when there is a match between the valence of the particular information you are trying to learn, and your internal mood (mood matches positivity/negativity of that item)
