AP PSYCH 5.4 Retrieving
Types of Retrieval
Recognition
Identifying previous learning
Stays stable with age
Like a multiple choice question
The answer is there fore, you just need to identify which one is right
This is the easier method of retrieval because you have some framework to help you
Recall
āPulling outā previous learning
No supplemental material to help
Ability declines with age
Like a free response question
Relearning
Improved retrieval with repeated learning
Forges stronger connections as the learning is constantly being maintained
Overlearning
Practice after learning a skill to make it more resilient to forgetting
Making sure the memory is there, then strengthening it more
Like getting a term right when studying, then proceeding to review that term for 5 minutes
Retrieval Cues
These serve as connection points to access a memory
Such as smells, sounds, or visuals
Priming
Activation of memory associations in anticipation of something being retrieved
Can sometimes occur unconsciously
Previous exposure may influence future thoughts and behavior
Context-Dependent Memory
Revisiting the location of an experience as the cue
The context may not necessarily be a location
State-Dependent Memory
Experiencing something in one state will be remembered better the next time we are in that state
Often relates to our emotions during that time
Mood-congruent memory
Emotion is serves as a cue for retrieval
Can also be a state like injury or sickness
