Question 20

memories held in storage by –

Answer 20

webs of associations

Question 21

– serve as anchor points for pathways to memory suspended in this web

Answer 21

Retrieval cues

Question 22

Best retrieval cues come from associations formed – a memory is encoded

Answer 22

at the time

Question 23

Activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in memory

Answer 23

priming

Question 24

Involves improved recall of specific information when the context present at encoding and retrieval are the same

Answer 24

context-dependent memory
