Unit 12 C: Memory-Retrieval

Terms	Definitions
recall	A measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test.
recognition	a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test
relearning	a measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time
retrieval cues	stimuli that aid the recall or recognition of information stored in memory
priming	the activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response
context effect	The tendency to recover information more easily when the retrieval occurs in the same setting as the original learning of the information
state-dependent memory	The theory that information learned in a particular state of mind (e.g., depressed, drunk, somber) is more easily recalled when in that same state of mind.
mood-congruent memory	the tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood
deja vu	that eerie sense that "I've experienced this before." Cues from the current situation may subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience
