PSYB57H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Rhinal Cortex, Implicit Memory, Explicit Memory
Document Summary
In a study, godden and baddeley- half of the participants (deep sea divers) learned the test material while underwater; half learned while sitting on land. Then within each grp, half were tested while underwater; hal were tested on land. Retrieval advantage if the learning and test circumstances math- better performance in the top left and bottom right cells. Scuba divers learned materials either while on land, or while underwater. Then they were tested while on land, or underwater. Performance was best if the divers" circumstances at the time of test were matched to those in place during learning. Changes in your approach to the memory materials. Context reinstatement- improved memory performance if we re-create the context that was in place during learning. In a study, thinking about meaning led to better memory than sound. If participants thought about meaning at the time of learning, they did considerably better in the test if the cues provided by the experimenter concerned meaning.
