Neural remembering sound: a, c, e patient is experiencing a visual or hearing, b, d, f patient is asked to remember the stimuli; stimuli is not present. Processing consequences (bar graph: people either told (intentional) or not told (incidental) about having to remember words they read while doing a certain task (e. g. , count how many e"s and g"s, rate each word based on pleasantness) Testing effect: testing knowledge is more powerful for remembering in the long-run than just re- studying/rereading. Distributed practice: distributed: spaced out/ breaks bt studying, massed: cramming all at once, better to distribute studying over time, and do one subject at a time. Locke & empiricism (1632-1704: learn through observation of natural world. Psychophysics: relationship between stimulus properties and psychological impressions of those stimuli, ex. colors and wavelengths, how changes in light intensity, mass, pitch, etc. affect your experience of those stimuli.
