PSYCH 133B : Week 9
Document Summary
General types of memory: explicit or declarative, which is available to consciousness, and implicit, or nondeclarative, which is not available to consciousness, with both type able to be divided further. Age differences are greater in explicit that implicit memory. We have already discussed evidence of infants" ability to remember. The longer they have to wait, the less likely they can retrieve it. A lot more kicking cuz kids quickly relates the movement of their leg and the movement of settle. When a day later, they would still kick quickly since they remember. Infants are more susceptible to context change no need to be big change. Children in the varied condition performed better when testing in a new condition. We are all susceptible to contextual change. Spaced (distributed study sessions) = longterm retention. Children"s representation of the event, what they paid attention to, etc. How information is stored, effect of new ?s & information. Retrieval (getting memory out of your mind)
