40
New cards

Constructive memory,

\
Using existing knowledge/schemas/experiences to fill in the gaps in info during encoding and retrieval. 

41
New cards

context dependent memory,

\
remember info best in the same/similar physical location as where info was learned. 

42
New cards

mood congruency 

\
info processing/recall is facilitated if a person's emotional state is similar to the tone of the info; or same emotional state

46
New cards

Prototype

\
best example of a category (icon for the schema; allows for quick comparison)

47
New cards
  • Reliability (including types)

\
consistency of scores (Can you replicate results?)

\
test retest: Measuring the stability/correlation of a test over time.

Simply, same test to same person at a different time (or giving the same test to two different groups)

\
alternate (parallel) form :Using 'parallel' measurements & comparing their correlation. Simply, different test (assuming same content & same difficulty) to same person.

\
split half: Measures the extent to which all parts of the test contribute equally (correlate) to what is being measured

More simply, looking within 1 test given at 1 time.

\n

inter-rater- The degree to which (correlation) different raters give consistent measurements

\

48
New cards

Validity (including types),

\
Does the measurement tool assess what it is designed for? 

\
content validity: Does the measurement tool fully assess all components of the behavior/topic/theory being studied?

\
crieterion-related validity : Does a specific component of the measurement tool truly assess the behavior/topic/theory being studied?

\
construct validity : Does the measurement tool accurately assess the theory being tested?

\
\
predicitvie validity: Does the measurement tool accurately predict future outcomes?

\
