A eureka or aha moment is an example of what kind of thinking: There are many different varieties of memory. When people encounter information that is different from their stereotypes/beliefs, they are more likely to alter their memory for the event than they are to change their stereotypes/beliefs. Research on eyewitness testimony has shown that it is usually highly accurate. All information in memory is equally likely to be recalled. Sensory memory is accessed when retrieving items from long-term memory in the cognitive model. Research has shown that rehearsal is the best memory strategy.
