Document Summary

Memory: learning that has persisted over time, information that has been stored and can be retrieved. Recall: retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness byt that was learned at an earlier time. A fill in the blank question tests recall. Relearning: learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time. Recall, recognition, and relearning speed are three ways that psychologists measure retention of memories. Tests of recognition and of time spent relearning demonstrate that we remember more that we can recall. Information-processing models are analogies that compare human memory to a computer operations. Get information into our brains, a process called. Later get information back out, a process called. Our dual-track brain processes many things simultaneously (some of them unconsciously) by means of parallel. Connectionism views memories as products of interconnected neural networks.
