Document Summary
Amnesia: deficits in episodic memory, retrograde amnesia, anterograde amnesia. Better task knowledge/monitoring: photographic memory" no clear evidence of it (may be effects of expertise?) Autobiographical memory memories about events in your life: schemas your general knowledge about something (related concepts, consistency bias you exaggerate the consistency between past feelings/beliefs with current ones, memory can be distorted. Source monitoring trying to identify the origin of a particular memory. Reality monitoring - trying to determine if a memory came from reality or not. Post-event misinformation memory distortion by suggestion after an event occurs. People remember what they were doing on 9/11. Shouldn"t" rely on this more than regular memories because they can still be distorted. Think you have a great detailed memory about it but it"s really probably because you" rehearsed it so much. Meshing hypothesis you use a combination of learning styles rather than just one: studying style: time management rehearsal and spacing.
