Study Notes
Types of Memory
- Episodic Memory: Memories of specific events
- Semantic Memory: Memories of facts, concepts and knowledge
- Explicit Memory: Consciously recalled information (also called declarative memory)
- Implicit Memory: Memories affecting behavior without conscious recollection (also called nondeclarative memory)
Retrieval of Information
- Retrieval: The process of recovering stored memories
- Retrieval Cue: A trigger for remembering information
- Retrieval Cue Failure: Inability to recall due to missing cues
- Reminders & Retrieval Cues: Smartphones can act as powerful retrieval cues
Cognitive Psychology Concepts
- Clustering: Organizing memories into related groups during recall
- Semantic Network Model: A model explaining how information is organized in interconnected networks within long-term memory
Serial Position Effect
- People tend to remember items at the beginning and end of a list better than those in the middle.
Encoding Specificity Principle
- Retrieval is more likely to be successful when retrieval conditions are similar to encoding conditions.
Context Effect
- Information is easier to retrieve when in the same environment as original learning
Mood Congruence
- A mood tends to evoke memories consistent with that mood.
Why Elephants Never Forget
- Encoding Failure: Insufficient encoding prevents long-term memory storage
- Prospective Memory: Remembering to perform future actions

Description
Explore the fascinating concepts of memory in cognitive psychology, including episodic, semantic, explicit, and implicit memory. This quiz will challenge your understanding of how memories are retrieved and organized, as well as the psychological principles that affect memory recall, such as retrieval cues and the serial position effect.
