MEMORY
Retrieving Information

2. How do we get the “stuff” out?
Recall- retrieve info not in conscious awareness
Recognize- identify previously learned
Relearn- amount of time saved, the 2nd time around

3. 1. Recall How many letters are in the alphabet?
What’s your mom maiden’s name?
(always fill-in-the-blank questions)
What are the names of all the people in your graduating class?
What would make this question easier to answer?

4. 2. Recognition Multiple choice questions
Much easier to answer if you see the memory on paper
Recognize the people in your graduating class
“Have you seen this person before?” “Is this a new outfit?”

5. 3. Relearning
History class- learn about the Civil War for years and every year you “relearn” it.
Each time you learn the information quicker.

6. Retrieval Cues Used to target info
Mnemonic, priming “wakening of associations”
Web of Associations
Context Effects- where you learned it

7. State dependent memory
What we learn in one state, is easier to recall in that state
Mood-Congruent memory
Experience consistent with one’s current good/bad mood
World perceptions
