PSYB57H3 Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Interconnections Between Acquisition & Retrieval
Document Summary
There are variations in retrieval: either recognize or recall. Learning, you re making connections between the newly acquired material and other representations already in your memory, making knowledge, findable later on. These become retrieval paths when you want to retrieve information from memory you travel on those paths, moving from one memory to the next until you reach the target material. Can find cases in which someone s learning is excellent preparation for one sort of retrieval, but useless for other types. Underwater, the world has a different look, feel, and sound, and this influences what thoughts come to mind for divers in the situation. Connecting these with the words learned in the information. But this doesn t mean all the information is lost there may be other links, some other memory connections that will lead back to the target memories, but still at a disadvantage to being at the same place.
