• Conscious and intentional memory retrieval

Discuss the role of encoding, storage, and retrieval in the memory process.

 

• Encoding involves the ability to focus attention on a specific stimulus, storage refers to the consolidation of memories, and retrieval involves the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.

  
  

• Encoding involves the ability to recall past events accurately, storage refers to the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, and retrieval involves the ability to focus attention on a specific stimulus.

   

  
  

  
  

• Encoding involves the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, storage refers to the ability to recall past events accurately, and retrieval involves the ability to focus attention on a specific stimulus.

  
  

• Encoding involves the initial processing of information, storage refers to the retention of encoded information over time, and retrieval involves accessing stored information.

With aging and memory decline,

• 1. There is nothing humans can do to prevent

• 1. Working and episodic long term memories tend to fail first

• typically begins in humans over 50 years old

• Semantic and procedural memory tend to fail first

Define cognition and explain its importance in human behavior.

• The ability to focus attention on a specific stimulus

• The ability to recall past events accurately

• The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information

• The process of problem-solving and decision-making

Priming refers to:

• the sense that one has been in a particular situation before.

• better recall for experiences that are consistent with one’s current mood.

• attributing a memory to an erroneous source.
