retrieval cue
a word or stimulus that helps a person remember information stored in memory
encoding
acquiring information and transforming it into memory
transfer appropriate learning
better performance when the type of processing matches in ending and retrieval
Betsy Sparrow
brains are adapting and reorganizing
deep processing
close attention to meaning (good memory is formed)
Nicholas Carr
google is making us stupid, internet is changing our brains for the worst
state-dependent learning
learning associated with a particular internal state such as mood or state of awareness
shallow processing
little attention to meaning (poor memory is formed)
maintenance rehearsal
maintains information, but does not transfer it to LTM (repeating info)
reactivation
process in which the hippocampus replays the neural activity associated with a memory
retrieval
process of transferring information from LTM back into working memory
consolidation
process that transform new memories from a fragile state to a more permanent state
transactive memory
things outside to give info to you (friends, coworkers)
elaborative rehearsal
transforms information to the LTM, connecting new info to old
encoding specificty
we encode information along with it's context
