Study Notes
- Ebbinghaus contributed to the fields of forgetting curve, list length effect, and meaningfulness effect in memory.
- Metamemory refers to knowledge about memory and cognitive processes, including metacognition.
- Episodic memory involves storing information through rehearsal, imagery, and organization.
- Rehearsal comes in two forms: maintenance (low-level) and elaborative (complex).
- Depth of processing theory suggests that memory is a result of how information is processed, not just duration.
- Organization is the process of structuring and categorizing information for efficient storage in memory.
- Visual imagery refers to the mental creation of mental pictures to aid memory.
- Paivio's dual coding hypothesis suggests that concrete words are remembered better due to encoding as both words and images.
- Encoding specificity theory states that anything present during learning can serve as a cue for recall.
- Retrieval failure refers to when a memory is lost due to decay or interference.
- Retrieval failure can be assessed through recognition and recall tasks.
- Amnesia is a condition resulting in memory loss, categorized as retrograde (past) or anterograde (future).
- Dissociation is a disruption in one cognitive function while another remains intact.
- Patient H.M., who underwent a hippocampus resection, exhibited anterograde amnesia.
- Research on retrieval cues and encoding specificity explores recognition failure and the relationship between encoding and retrieval.
