Document Summary

Modules 24-26, modules 27-28, modules 29-32, modules 33-36 (only section 35-6 for module 35), Memory: the persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. To a psychologist, evidence that learning persists includes these three measures of retention: recall: retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time. A fill-in-the-blank question tests your recall: recognition: identifying items previously learned. A multiple-choice question tests your recognition: relearning: learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time. When you study for a final exam or engage a language used in early childhood, you will relearn the material more easily than you did initially. Our recognition memory is impressively quick and vast. Tests of recognition and of time spent relearning demonstrate that we remember more than we can recall.
