Psy 200 1st Edition Lecture 10Current Lecture Long Term Memory-more permanent memory-capacity is huge-duration is longDeclarative memory us something you can declare, like facts or eventsNon- declarative memory is something you’re unaware of Semantic Coding-links to existing knowledge -in theory, might be a retrieval cue rather than encoding Long Term Memory-Coding--The stimulus together with its context or meaning -Not the physical stimulus-3 stages: acquisition, storage, retrieval -Acquisition- better acquisition for deeper level of processing elaboration provides more connections. Words in complex sentences are recalled more frequently. -Retrieval- more connections also leads to more retrieval, pathways matching retrieval and encoding- having cues at time of retrieval that are similar to time of encoding helps.-Context-Dependent memory- where you are impacts your memory-State-Dependent memory- the state of mind you are in Best results occur when the learning environment and the testing environment matchAcquisition and Retrieval -remembering is dependent on both-best encoding builds up many connections and thus many retrieval cues-memory is best if conditions of encoding and retrieval are the same-The serial position effect (look in book)-Typical recall can involve Short and Long Term Memory-Primacy effect- easier to remember words that are first on a list. -Recency effect- easier to remember words that are at the end of a list because they are the most recent in your memoryThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.-Recency, but not primacy, is affected by filled delay. (Filled delay- a distraction that doesn’t allow rehearsal)-Longer time between words on a list affects primacy, but not
