Acquisition and Retrieval

1. Learning as preparation

   • connections
     • retrieval paths
   • context dependent learning
     • scuba diver example
       • test while on land
       • test while in water
   • approach to memory materials
     • context reinstatment
       • gum example
         • chew gum during studying
         • chew gum during test
         • retrieval cue (gum)

2. Encoding Specificity

   • target words
     • piano example
       • "lifted"
         • "...something heavy"

3. The Memory Network

   • Vast Nework of Ideas
     • nodes
       • associative links
       • spreading activation
         • activation level
           • response threshold
           • subthreshhold activation
   • hints
     • hints
       • retrieval cues
         • capitol example

4. memory testing

   • recal
   • recognition

5. Amnesia

   • loss of memory
   • retrograde amnesia
     • blow to the head
