Document Summary
Recall: retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time: a ll in the black question on a test. Recognition: identifying items previously learned: a multiple choice question. Relearning: learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time: when you study for a nal exam or engage a language used early in childhood, measures of retention. Tests of recognition and of time spent relearning demonstrate that we remember more than we can recall: memory models. Get information to our brain - encoding. Get the information back out, later - retrieval. Working memory: to focus on the active processing that takes place in the middle stage (when brain processes incoming information making sense of new input and linking it with long-term memories) Dual-track memory: effortful versus automatic processing: explicit and implicit memories are distinguished through the type of processing. Explicit memories are processed through effortful processing.
