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
