What is the effect of context on memory retrieval?
Similar contexts between learning and recall improve memory.
How does mood affect memory?
Current mood influences the type of memories recalled.
What is the impact of self-testing on memory?
Self-testing strengthens memory and improves retention.
What is the effect of caffeine on memory?
If you study caffeinated, you might recall better when caffeinated.
Compare recall and recognition.
Recall involves retrieving information without cues, while recognition involves identifying information with cues.
Explain the concept of recall.
Retrieving information from memory without any prompts or cues. It's like a fill-in-the-blank question.
Explain the concept of recognition.
Identifying previously learned information when presented with cues. It's like a multiple-choice question.
What is context dependency?
Memory retrieval is improved when the conditions at retrieval match those present at encoding.
What is state dependency in memory?
Recall is improved when in the same physiological or mental state as when the memory was formed.
Explain the testing effect.
Memory is enhanced when actively retrieving information, rather than passively rereading material.
Explain mood-congruent memory.
The tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current mood.
Explain the concept of metacognition in memory.
Being aware of and understanding one's own thought processes, especially regarding learning and memory.
