levels of processing theory

mnemonics

encoding specificity principle

context effects

state-dependent memory effects

mood dependent memory

spacing effect

the strength of the memory traces depends on the levels of processing

incidental learning can take place

deep processing leads to stronger memory traces

superficia (shallow) processing leads to weak memory traces

strategies to enhance memory performance:

categorisation

method of loci

method of interacting images

pegword method

dual-coding

items are linked by imagery to an already learned sequence list of imageable words

one is a bun, two is a shoe, three is a tree

concrete words encoded verbally and visually

you can retrieve info from memory ONLY via cues encoded for retrieval during studying

memory is better when the external environment at testing is the same as at learning

memory is better when INTERNAL PHYSIOLOGICAL conditions are the same

being drunk

memory is better when MOOD is the same

explanations:

deficient processing

encoding variability

massed repetition leads to deficient processing of later information

spaced repetition causes variability in representation

more cues for the learned material, more likely cues to recur at test
