Study Notes
Memory Encoding and Retrieval: Conditions and Mechanisms
- Matching conditions at retrieval to those at encoding can increase retrieval
- Three ways to achieve matching: encoding specificity, state-dependent learning, and transfer-appropriate processing
- Encoding specificity: encoding information along with its context, demonstrated in the "diving experiment" and "noisy/quiet learning experiment"
- State-dependent learning: memory is better when the internal state during retrieval matches that during encoding, as shown in the "happy/sad mood when testing" experiment
- Transfer-appropriate processing: memory task results are better when the processing type used during encoding matches that during retrieval, as demonstrated in Morris' experiment
- Morris' experiment shows that deeper processing at encoding does not always result in better retrieval
- Spacing effect in learning: distributed practice increases memory performance
- Consolidation: process that transforms new memories from a fragile to a more permanent state
- Müller and Pilzecker's study on consolidation showed that the delay group learned better with a delay time, as immediately presenting the second list interrupted the forming of a stable memory for the first list
- Two types of consolidation: synaptic consolidation occurs at synapses rapidly, while systems consolidation involves gradual reorganization of brain circuits
- Information storage at the synapse: learning and memory represented in the brain by physiological changes at the synapse
- Long-term potentiation (LTP): repeated stimulation makes synapse response more enhanced, resulting in neural records of an experience
