Document Summary
Slide 41: retrieval of memories happens automatically (ex. You remember a song from 10 years ago). Slide 42: in reading, exposure to words triggers the reading. Slide 43: if the right cues aren"t available, you have the tip at the tongue situation. You get stuck until you get the cues. Ex: when you lose something, you retrace your steps to see where you might have left the item. This procedure allows you to retrieve the cues to remember. Slide 44: there are special ways to write underwater. People learn a list of items and are asked to remember. Half of them learn on land, and the other half under water. They then write the words where they are. They are retrieving in the same situation where they have learned. What was found out was that you are best at retrieving at the place where you learned.
