Encoding in Long-Term Memory
Argues that deep, meaningful processing of information leads to mores accurate recall than shallow, sensory kinds of processing.
Levels-of-processing approach
During this task researchers directly ask participants to remember some information, they then realize that their memory is being tested and they will have to recall the information.
Explicit memory task
Memory for events and issues related to yourself.
Autobiographical memory
Which two factors are responsible for better recall when using deep levels of processing?
Distinctiveness & Elaboration
During this task participants see material; later during the testing phase, they are instructed to complete a cognitive task that does not directly ask for either recall or recognition.
Implicit memory task
Schema
What is a word that describes a stimulus that is different from other memory traces?
Distinctiveness
Findings from this task suggest that recent exposure to a word increases the likelihood that you'll think of this particular word when you are subsequently presented with a cue that could evoke many different words.
Repetition priming task
This term suggests humans tend to exaggerate the consistency between our past feelings and beliefs and our current viewpoint.
Consistency bias
Which word describes the process which requires rich processing in terms of meaning and interconnected concepts?
Elaboration
This occurs when a variable has large effects on Test A, but little or no effects on Test B.
Dissociation
The process of trying to identify the origin of a particular memory
Source monitoring
Self-reference effect
This region of the brain is responsible for learning and memory task.
Hippocampus
The process pf trying to identify if whether an event really occurred, or whether you actually imagined this event.
Reality monitoring
