Back 9

people can retrieve a memory more easily if he or she thinks about the information is the same way as during encoding

Front 10

What are the two possible explanations for forgetting

Back 10

Front 14

internal working model?

Development, how children develop the schema to understand people's reactions (secure/avoidant/resistant) which shapes the way they interpret human relations and accordingly how they react to them

Problem Solving (mental set, restructuring, automaticity, )

Front 23

dual process theory / dual-center theory

hunger signals?
