Document Summary
Memory errors, memory gaps: record- keeping model. Searching a storehouse of records of past events. Use current info & connections. Use reconstruction strategies to deduce our pasts: human memory is designed to predict the future, not recapitulate the past. Hypotheses about forgetting: what do we mean by decay , passive decay vs. functional decay. Retrieval- induced forgetting (anderson, bjork & bjork, 1994) Forgetting results from interference by previously recalled info. Provided with: fruit ba_ _ _ _ Remembering things that never took place. Memory is impaired for the fruit words that were not tested in the intermediate test. Drm procedure (deese, roediger & mcdermott) Cue- dependent forgetting failure of retrieval cues: response competition: same cue associated w/ multiple responses. If we can"t reinstate the context that was present at encoding. Wounded man died when the sun rose" becomes at sunset". Canoe" becomes boat"; hunting seals" becomes fishing"; arrows" become arms for battle".
