Document Summary
Confabulation - think you remember, but just making it up. We have specific assumptions of what something should be and conform to those assumptions. Can"t remember smell, but can recognize it. Phonemic encoding involves repetition (long process, not very efficient) Self referential encoding: remember information better if it relates to us. Rehearsal and over-learning: not most efficient use of time. Deep processing: take something old and attach to new thing to help remember. Transfer appropriate processing: don"t study the same way for every test (study m/c qs if m/c test; short answer test, ask q c if can answer) Distributed practice: don"t do cram sessions, spread out studying over the week (study time in half, study everyday) If u put in effort early, less anxiety later, remember info for test. Method of loci: use pattern/ geographical route, place everything on that route. The more similar the environments are at encoding and retrieval the more easier it is to remember.
