Document Summary
Levels of processing influence ltm: most information stored in ltm is primarily semantic, evidence for visual encoding, acoustic information can be encoded. Memory tends to be good: massed practice: sessions crammed together in very short space of time. Organization of information: mnemonic devices: see lecture, use of mnemonic devices involves metamemory. 2 ways to gain access to stimuli if information processing were serial: exhaustive serial processing: same amount of time to find any digit. Location in the list does not matter: self-terminating serial processing: participant would check test digit against only those digits needed to make response. The later the serial position, the longer the response time. Retrieval from lt m: categorization can affect retrieval, availability: presence of information stored in ltm, accessibility: the degree to which we can gain access to available information, memory performance depends on accessibility of information to be remembered.
