Document Summary
Cell phone use doubled the chances of missing traffic signals and having slower reaction times to signals that were detected. Functional: in one experiment, craik and tulving (1975) compared the durability of structural, phonemic, and semantic encoding. Effects of contexts: karla accurately recalled the details of the information presented at the meeting, she mixed up who said what in many parts of her testimony. What can karla"s inaccurate memory be attributed to? source-monitoring errors. Retroactive interference: phenomenon that occurs when newly learned information interferes with and impedes the recall of previously learned information. Retrograde amnesia (ra) is a loss of memory-access to events that occurred, or information that was learned, before an injury or the onset of a disease. Memory impairments on many different tasks: bertha is doing poorly in her algebra class because she has trouble dividing her attention between two tasks and cannot take notes and listen to her teacher at the same time.
