fill in the blank
51
recognition
multiple choice
52
relearning
time saved when learning something again
53
external events ----> sensory input
sensory memory ----> automatic processing -----> long term memory sensory memory ----> encoding ------> working/short term memory ----> encoding-----> long term memory----> retreiving -----> short term memory
54
levels of processing
shallow and deep
55
shallow processing
encoding on a basic level based on structure or appearance
56
deep processing
encoding semantically based on meaning, yields better retention
57
