Event-based- Need to do some actions in the future when certain circumstances are present (Ex: remember to take rain jacket if it’s rainy) Time-based- Remember to do certain actions at thecertain point of time- Implicit memory (also called nondeclarative memory; Memorythat is formed without effort)o Procedural memory (ex: riding a bike, typing) Memory for older skills; automatic recollections of behavioral skills STM versus LTM: Serial position effect - Primacy effectso Remember things happening at the first o Involves more rehearsal processes- Recency effectso Tend to remember things in the last couples of items and not the items in the middle The process of memory Formation: retrieval- Recognition versus retrieval- Retrieval cueso Context effects Environmental reinstatement effect We recall information best if we return to the exact physical location where we first encoded it Ex: taking psyc 101 exams in Hamilton vs. other classroom State dependent memory The tendency to recall information best when in the same emotional or physiologicalstate as you learned it Mood congrument memory Retrieval would be best when there is a match between the mood of retrieval and the emotional tone of the experience/object itself Class example: story telling; bank robber Memory reconstruction*People’s recall of an event may be influenced by something happening after the event *People’s recall of an event may be influenced by misleading post-event information - Eye witness memory studies o The bunny effect Bunny “in” the Disneylando Misinformation effect- Recovered (repressed) memories o Role of source monitoring errors?
