MemoryRetrieval • Priming:activation of a neural network • Context Effects:why did I come in this room? • Mood Effects • Mood congruence: tendency to recall memories that are consistent with one’s good or bad mood • State-dependent memory • Emotions effect what and how we remember
The Sins of MemoryDaniel Schacter (1999) • Three sins of forgetting • Absent-mindedness: inattention to details leads to encoding failure • Transience: storage decay over time • Blocking: inaccessibility of stored information • Three sins of distortion • Misattribution: confusing the source • Suggestibility: lingering effects of misinformation • Bias: belief-colored recollection • One sin of intrusion • Persistence: unwanted memories

CREATING FALSE MEMORIES A LABORATORY STUDY Video
Improving Memory • Spend more time rehearsing or actively thinking about he material • Make the material personally meaningful • To remember a list of unfamiliar items, use mnemonic devices • Refresh your memory by activating retrieval cues • Minimize interference • Test your own knowledge, both to rehearse it and to help determine what you do not yet know
