Question 5

Encoding specificity
Deff
+ example

Answer 5

Stimulus plus context is what you remember

In the context of memory as a vast network, what are the nodes? And they are connected by what? (2)

Answer 6

Also does what?

Answer 7

Activation travels within the network from node to node via associative links.
A node’s activation level increases until it reaches a response threshold and fires.
Now the node is sending info instead of just receiving and activated neighboring nodes.
Draws attention to the firing node.

Question 8

“Finding” a node in a network refers to what?

Answer 8

Attention is drawn to a node after it fires

Question 9

Sub threshold activation

Answer 9

When a node is partially activated
More than one sub activation can equal a full activation, causing a node to fire

Question 10

Retrieval cues are ________ that contribute to ____________

Answer 10

Hints
Sub threshold activation

Question 11

semantic priming
Deff
Demonstrated using

Answer 11

Activation of an idea in memory causes activation of similar ideas (doctor —> nurse)
