Learning Objectives!

1. Describe the three basic human memory processes. 
2. Discuss the role of attention in memory. 
3. Describe the three types of encoding discussed by Craik and Lockhart and how depth of processing relates to memory. 
4. Describe three techniques for enriching encoding and research on each. 
5. Describe the role of the sensory store in memory. 
6. Discuss the characteristics of short-term memory. 
7. Evaluate the hypothesis that all memories are stored permanently in long-term memory. 
8. Describe conceptual hierarchies, schemas, and semantic networks, and their role in long-term memory.
9. Explain how retrieval cues and context cues influence retrieval. Discuss Bartlett’s work, the misinformation effect, and imagination inflation.
10. Discuss the implications of evidence on source monitoring and reality monitoring.
11. Describe Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve and three measures of retention.
12. Explain how forgetting may be due to ineffective encoding.
13. Compare and contrast decay and interference as potential causes of forgetting.
14. Summarize evidence on the biochemistry and neural circuitry underlying memory.
15. Distinguish between two types of amnesia and identify the anatomical structures implicated in memory.
16. Distinguish between declarative and nondeclarative (procedural) memory.
17. Explain the distinctions between episodic versus semantic memory and prospective versus retrospective memory.
18. Discuss the importance of rehearsal, distributed practice, and interference in efforts to improve everyday memory.
