receive significant hints about the material |

|
recognition |
choose the correct item among several choices (multiple-choice) |
|
|
savings/ relearning method |
comparing the speed of original learning to the speed of relearning |
|
|
explicit memory |
someone who states an answer regards it as a product of memory (cued recall, free recall, recognition) |
|
|
implicit memory |
an expirence influences what you say and do even though you might not be aware of an influence |

declarative memories |
memories we can readily state in words |
|
|
information-processing model |
compares human memory to that of a computer |

|
short-term memory |
temporary storage of recent events (current score of a game) |
|
|
long-term memory |
a relatively permanent store (rules of a game) |

encoding |

|
levels of processing principle |
ease of retrieval depends on the number and types of associations we form with the memory |
