PSYC 2000 : Levels Of Processing Psychology Exam 2
Document Summary
Levels of processing degree of info. encoding/processing determines strength of memory. Rehearsing repeating an item to keep it active. Ineffective like what we did in high school. Ex: just like memorizing notecards relating new info. to info already stored in memory. Like saying stories about a term for the test to realte not just memorize. Something you relate to and recall it and attach it to something you already know and know it a lot longer. Transfer-appropriate critical determinant of memory is how well retrieval and encoding processes. You study for a multiple choice when you have a multiple choice test not an essay test. Information info. passws through sensory, short-term, and long-term. Listening to the voice is sensory (actually talking) Sensory information breifly retains the info. picked up by the sensory nuerons. Holds info. from all the senses in sensory registers for a fraction of a second.
