    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.
