Long Term Memory Lecture Review

Flashcards reviewing key concepts from a lecture on long-term memory, including depth of processing, encoding strategies, and memory enhancement techniques.

What were the three orienting tasks used by Craig and Tolving in their study?

Participants were asked if a word was in upper or lowercase letters, if it rhymed with another word, or if it fit in a sentence.

In the Craig and Tolving study, which condition led to the best recall?

Words from the 'fit in the sentence' condition were recalled better, indicating deeper processing.

According to Craig and Tolving, what might be an alternative way to define 'depth of processing'?

The time it takes to process information, with longer processing times potentially leading to better memory.

Name some of the things that are used to look at the problems with depth of processing.

Correctness, meaningfulness, familiarity, pleasantness and imagery value

What is the 'generation effect'?

Participants remember information better when they generate it themselves, rather than passively receiving it.

According to Vowel and Winsons How can memory be improved?

Creating mental images of word pairs, especially if the images involve the items interacting.

What is self reference effect?

Relating information to oneself.

What is Generate Effects

Generating information yourself is superior to passively receiving information.

What are the strategies that would lead to less performance?

Generating the answers yourself. Don't just look them up and copy them down. Try to answer these questions for yourself.
