Document Summary
Storage: the time and manner in which info is retained between encoding and retrieval. Rehearsal is not the most effective form of remembering. Maintenance rehearsal: prolonging exposure to information by repeating it. Elaborative rehearsal: prolonging exposure to information by thinking about its meaning. Our ability to recall info is directly related to how info is initially processed. Shallow processing: superficial properties of a stimulus, such as sound or spelling of a word. Deep processing: related to an item"s meaning or function. Self-reference effect: occurs when you think about info in terms of how it relates to you or how useful it is to you. Survival processing: when items are processed as they relate to survival, they are more likely to be recalled. Recognition: identifying stimulus when it"s presented to you. Recall: retrieving info when asked, but without info being present during retrieval process. Encoding specificity principle: retrieval is most effective when it occurs in the same context as encoding.
