Explore the differences between recall and recognition in memory retrieval, with a focus on priming, context-dependent memory, state-dependent memory, and mood congruent memory. Discover helpful strategies to improve memory recall and recognition. Let's jog our memory!

Retrieval • Bringing stored information to conscious thought Lets Jog Our Memory!!!!!!!
Recall Versus Recognition Recall Recognition you must identify the target from possible targets multiple-choice tests • you must retrieve the information from your memory • fill-in-the blank or essay tests
Recall versus Recognition Lazy Smurf or Lethargic Smurf I probably cannot recall the Smurfs, but can I recognize them? Papa Smurf or Daddy Smurf Handy Smurf or Practical Smurf Brainy Smurf or Intellectual Smurf Clumsy Smurf or Inept Smurf
Priming To retrieve a specific memory from the web of associations, you must first activate one of the strands that leads to it. This process is called priming.
Context-Dependent Memory • It helps to put yourself back in the same context you experienced (encoded) something. • If you study on your favorite chair at home, you will probably score higher if you also took the test on the chair.

Déjà Vu • That eerie sense that you have experienced something before. • What is occurring is that the current situation cues past experiences that are very similar to the present one- your mind gets confused. Is déjà vu really a glitch in the Matrix?
State-Dependent Memory • You remember better when you are in the same psychophsyiological state as you were when you learned the material.
Mood Congruent Memory • Tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one’s current good or bad mood. • Primes negative or positive associations
