Participant Manipulation
- Researchers can easily convince participants to modify their memories or create false ones
Learning Outcome
- Permanent change in behavior or knowledge as a result of experience
Ribot's Law

Anterograde Amnesia
- Inability to form new memories after the onset of amnesia

- Encoding: information is received and processed
- Storage: information is retained over time
- Retrieval: information is accessed from storage
