Memory- persistence of learning over a period of time through storage & retrieval of information. Working memory- conscious, active processing of incoming information. Acoustic encoding- encoding of sounds, especially of words. Self-reference effect- better retention for information that we can relate to ourselves than information that you cannot relate to yourself. Explicit memory- memory facts & experiences that one can consciously know & declare. Recall- measure of memory in which a person must retrieve information that was learned earlier. Recognition measure of memory in which a person must identify items previously learned. Relearning- measure of memory that accesses amount of time saved when learning material for a second time. Priming- activation, often unconscious, of particular associations in memory. State-dependent learning- learning is associated with internal states of the participant. Mood-congruent memory- tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one"s current good or bad mood. Retroactive- new information makes it difficult to recall old information.
