Q

craik & lockhart’s levels of processing framework

A
  1. continuum of progressively deeper processing
    visual –> phonological –> semantic
  2. retention

Q

retention

A

a function of the depth of processing, the deeper you process it the better you remember it

15
Q

free recall

A

“tell me the words i just showed you”

16
Q

cued recall

A

“tell me a word i showed you that starts with my-“

17
Q

recognition

A

‘was “mystery” in the list i showed you?’

18
Q

implicit retrieval

A

“tell me the first word that comes to mind that starts with my-“

19
Q

encoding specificty principle (Tulving)

A

memory performance depends on the match between the context at encoding and the context at retreival

20
Q

if recall is better when the output cue matched the input cue. What does this support?

A

supports the encoding specificity principle

21
Q

recognition failure of recallable words (tulving & thompson)

A

Ss asked to recall or recognise target words

recall task better (encoding specificity principle) recall in same context, recognition phase you circle words, no cues, different context

22
Q

recognise vs recall tasks

A

recall better…CONTEXT

23
Q

the match between encoding and text context is import. BUT what does it depend upon

A

the type of memory test

24
2 types of context?
1. intrinsic = has a direct impact on the meaning of to-be-remembered word 2. extrinsic = does not change meaning of to be rememberd word (environment, mood) affect recall but not recognition
25
change of environment context affects.....
recall but not recognition
26
what is recall?
involves self-generating retrieval cues
27
development implication of young children and elderly in recall/recognition
perform much worse in free recall than cued recall or recognition. implication for child witness
28
repetition priming
refers to facilitation (better performance) as a result of prior exposure
29
implicit vs. explicit memory test
performances on both tests are dissociated (different)
30
episodic memory for amnesic patients
- perform just as well as control for implicit/indirect test of memory (word completion) - perform worse than control on explicit (conventional) memory tasks
31
amnesia | explicit vs. implicit memory
have impaired explicit memory but intact implicit memory (implicit does not require distinguishing between contexts)
32
amnesia | memory binding
amnesics lack the ability to bind voices [context]with words when same voice used in learning and recall. assumed memory is based on familiarity and recollection
33
asuumed memory (memory binding) is based on familiarity and recollection. what are these?
``` familiarity = memory based on assesment of strngth [known response] recollection = memory acquired by retrieval of context [remember response] ```
34
Assumed memory(memory binding) is based on what?
Familiarity and recollection
