1What's low ecological validity?Low ecological validity is the findings from research study's which can be adapted to real-life settings.
2What's Structural processing?Is thinking about the physical appearance of a word.
e.g. Highlighting because it's bold and stands out.
3What's Phonetic processing?Thinking about the sound of the word.
e.g. words that rhyme.
4What's Semantic processing?Thinking about the meaning of the word.
e.g. Learning the definition of a word.
5What's levels of processing?The depth at which information is recalled.
e.g.
Study done by Craik and Lockhart
6What's a practical application?This is when you say how the study could improve.
e.g.
Instead of just reading something over and over.
7What's inference?Things that we learn that make it difficult to recall other information that we have learnt.
8What's proactive?The Old information affecting new info.
9What's Retroactive?New information affecting old info.
10What's Proactive inference?Is where the info that we already know causes problems when we try to take in new info.
11What's Amnesia?Amnesia is the memory loss usually caused by physical injury to the brain.
e.g. car accidnet
12What's Anterograde Amnesia?Is being unable to learn new info after suffering brain damage.
Remember the A for AFTER!
13What's Retrograde Amnesia?The loss of memory for events that happened before brain damage occured.
14What's Encoding?Changing the info so that it can be stored.
15What's Storage?Holding info in the memory system
16What's Retrieval?Recovering info from storage
Remember the R for RECOVERING!
17What's Ecological?The results of the study can be applied to real life.
18What's the recency effect?Situations which happen towards the end.

e.g. words at the top of a lost, which you could recall first.
20What does context mean?The general setting or environment in which activities happen.
21What is the Hippocampus?The Hippocampus is a section of the brain which can read new info, without this you loose all memory.
This is antrograde amnesia
