According to the levels of processing theory, memory durability depends on how information is

encoded

Acquiring information and transforming it into memory is

encoding

____ consolidation involves the gradual reorganization of circuits within brain regions and takes place on a fairly long time scale, lasting weeks, months, or even years.

Transfer-appropriate processing is likely to occur if

Transfer-appropriate processing is likely to occur if

Mantyla's "banana / yellow, bunches, edible" experiment demonstrates that, for best memory performance, retrieval cues should be created

by the person whose memory will be tested.

The elaborative rehearsal task of learning a word by using it in a sentence is generally most effective if the generated sentence is

complex

People often report an annoying memory failure when they walk from one end of the house to the other for something and then forgetting what they went to retrieve when they reach their destination. As soon as they return to the first room, they are reminded of what they wanted in the first place. This common experience best illustrates the principle of

encoding specificity

In Slameka and Graf's (1978) study, some participants read word pairs, while other participants had to fill in the blank letters of the second word in a pair with a word related to the first word. The latter group performed better on a later memory task, illustrating the

generation effect

According to the multiple trace hypothesis, the hippocampus is involved in retrieval of

remote, episodic memories.

Elaborative rehearsal of a word will LEAST likely be accomplished by

repeating it over and over.
