Retrieval paths |
Paths that help you travel from one memory to the next until you reach the target material |
|
Context dependent learninf |
Goddon and braddely. Remember better if in the same context (diving) |
|
Context reinstatement |
Strategy of recreating the thoughts and feelings of the learning episode even if your in a different place |
|
encoding specifity |
what you encode is specific with the stimulus's context (the word that's not shown even though all other words relate to it) |
|
subthreshold activation |
activation levels below the response threshold |
|
spreading activation |
process through which each node activates and fires |
|
lexical decision task |
participants shown string of words on a computer screen, respond yes if word and no if not word--meyer and schvaneveldt |
|
semantic priming |
two words in the pair are related in meaning and measures response time for yes or no |
|
source memory |
don't have any recollection of the source of your current knowledge--depends on connections we've already made |
|
remember/know distinction |
pressing one button to indicate if they actually recall the episode of encountering the particular time and pressing a differenbutton for know |
|
word stem completion |
participants given three or four letters and must produce a word with the beginning, more likely to say a word they've encountered recently |
|
processing pathway |
the sequence of detectors and the connections between detectors that the activation flows through in recognizing a specific stimulus |
|
processing fluency |
the speed and ease with which the pathway will carry activation |
|
intrusion errors |
errors in which knowledge intrudes into the remembered event |
|
DRM procedure |
procedure in which person is given list of words that relate to one word but one word is not said |
|
brewer and treyens |
schematic knowledge--people saw bookcases in the office when there were none |
|
decay |
one explanation for forgetting, with passage of time, memories can fade or erode |
|
interference theory |
one explanation for forgetting, new learning interferes with older learning |
|
retrieval failure |
one explanation for forgetting |
|
TOT phenomenon |
tip of the tongue--term for when retrieval is partial |
|
baddley and hitch |
rugby players asked to recall teams they played over the course of the season--found passage of time doesn't matter, but the number of intervening events |
