PSYC 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Implicit Memory, Sensory Memory, Explicit Memory
Document Summary
Psyc 1 lecture 7 part 9: memory. Retention measured by: recall: retrieving information from your memory without any kind of cues. Short answer/essay question on an exam: recognition: when retrieving information from your memory and you do have cues; recognizing memory from the options. Multiple choice question: relearning: reduction in the amount of time it takes for you to learn something a second time. Memory includes three processes: encoding: getting the information into your memory, storage: retaining of information in your memory, retrieval: getting the information out of memory. Working memory: conscious processing of information; newer understanding of short- term memory: ex: standing in living room and imagining how it would look re-arranged, anxiety reduces capacity. Long-term memory can be either explicit memory (memory for facts/experiences; aka declarative memory) or implicit memory (memory for skills/classically conditioned responses; ex: riding a bike; aka nondeclarative memories; aka procedural memories)
