Q

Name the 4 methods of Retrieval

A

recall, recognition, relearning , reconstruction

2
Q

Define ‘sensitivity’

A

how effective each method is in retrieving information

3
Q

Which method of retrieval identifies correct info among alternatives?

give an example

A

Recognition.

multiple choice questions

4
Q

What is the method of ‘Recall?’

A

reproducing info with fewest possible cues/prompts

5
Q

What is the “most sensitive” method of retrieval mean?

A

easiest to retrieve

6
Q

Is recall or recognition more sensitive?

A

recognition

7
Q

Which method of retrieval is the LEAST sensitive?

A

Recall

8
Q

List the three types of Recall

A
  1. Free recall
  2. serial recall
  3. cued recall
9
Q

Explain Free recall

A

recalling as much as possible with minimal cues and in ANY order

10
Q

What is Serial Recall?

A

recalling info in the ORDER of which is presented

11
Q

What is cued recall?

A

recalling with prompts/cues provided to assist retrieval in ANY order

12
Q

Eg. I asked Tony to recall the last 3 primeministers of Australia in order.

Which method is this?

A

Serial Recall

13
Q

What does the method of Relearning mean?

A

learning something again thats been previously commited to memory.
Usually easier and quicker the 2nd time

14
Q

What is the formula to the Savings Score of relearning?

A

T1-T2/T1 x100

15
Q

What does Savings Score measure?

A

the percentage of information retained from original learning

16
Q

What is the method of Reconstruction?

A

adding/omitting certain details so memory is reconstructed each time retrieved

17
Q

What are factors that many affect memory according to retrieval cues?

A

context dependent and state dependent cues

18
Q

Breiefly explain Context depedent cues

A

external encironment at time learning occurs

19
Q

Breiefly two factors of State depedent cues. give example

A
  • internal environment at time learning occurs
  • physiological or psychological state
    eg. same mood, stress level, taste in mouth as when learning occured
20
Q

What is Consilidation Theory? ‘In order for …..’

A

in order for STM to be stored into LTM, must be 30 min of uninterrupted time for memory to be consolidated

21
Q

What is consildation?

A

permanent storage of LTM
