2.2. Include knowledge, skills, and experiences.

3. Short term memory

3.1. Activated memory that holds a few items briefly before the information is stored or forgotten

6.3. If the answer is NEW information the term you use is PROactive INterference

6.4. Psychologists have found that recall of later items can be improved by making them distinctive from early items.

7. Retroactive INterference

8. Memory is a construct

8.1. When we remember something, we're taking bits and pieces of experience - sometimes from different times and places - and bringing it all together to construct what might feel like a recollection but is actually a construction.

8.2. The process of calling it into conscious awareness can change it.

9.2. More recent events are easier to recall

9.3. Hypethethymesia condition of possessing an extremely detailed autobiographical memory.

10. Storage

11.4. Relearning

11.5. Retrieval Cues

11.5.1. Priming

11.5.1.1. 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.

12. Encoding

12.1. The processing of information into the memory system

12.2. Unconscious encoding of very information such as space and time well learning

12.3. Parallel processing

12.3.1. The processing of many aspects of a problem at the same the brains natural made of information processing for many functions

12.4. Implicity memory

12.4.1. Retention of learned skills, or classically conditioned associations without conscious awareness

15.2. Retrograde Amnesia is when you can't recall past memories stored in LTM

16. Retro-active Interference

16.1. Occurs when you are being tested on old information and new information

17. Eyewitness testimony

17.1. Shown to be unreliable

17.2. People's recall for events may be influenced by what they heard or constructed after the incident

17.3. Memory is reconstructed

17.4. Study after study has shown that there is no correlation between the subjective feeling of certainty on has about a memory, and the memory's accuracy

18. Eidetic Memory
