PSYA01H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7.2-7.3: Encoding Specificity Principle, Hermann Ebbinghaus, Flashbulb Memory
Document Summary
Storage: refers to the time and manner in which information is retained between encoding and retrieval.

In terms of how it relates to you/how useful it is to you, survival processing (items more vital to survival are remembered better) Recognition: identifying stimulus/piece of info when it is presented to you (eg. mc questions), recall: retrieving information when asked but w/o info being present during retrieval process (eg. sa questions) Recall is use when retrieval cues are there. Encoding specificity principle: retrieval is most effective when it occurs in the same context as encoding context-dependent forgetting (change in env. Influences forgetting), context reinstatement effect (returning to original location and remembering memory)
