3 Reconstructing the Past
Memory 1/23/2018 Reconstructing the Past The Manufacture of Memory The Fading Flashbulb The Conditions of Confabulation ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

4 The Manufacture of Memory
1/23/2018 The Manufacture of Memory Memory is selective. Recovering a memory is not playing a videotape Memory involves inferences that fill in gaps in recall. We are often unaware we have made such inferences. Source Amnesia: The inability to distinguish what you originally experienced from what you heard or were told later about an event. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

5 The Conditions of Confabulation
Memory 1/23/2018 The Conditions of Confabulation Confabulation: Confusion of an event that happened to someone else with one that happened to you, or a belief that you remember something when it never actually happened. Confabulation is most likely when: You have thought about the event many times The image of the event contains many details The event is easy to imagine You focus on emotional reactions to the event rather than what actually happened. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

6 Memory and the Power of Suggestion
1/23/2018 Memory and the Power of Suggestion The Eyewitness on Trial Children’s Testimony Memory Under Hypnosis ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

7 Memory 1/23/2018 Children’s Testimony If asked if a visitor committed acts that had not occurred, few 4-6 year olds said yes. 30% of 3-year olds said yes When investigators used techniques taken from real child-abuse investigations, most children said yes. Social Pressure, False Allegations Figure 7.02 from Wade, C., & Tavris, C. (2002). Invitation to Psychology, 2nd Ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

8 Memory 1/23/2018 Memory Under Hypnosis Hypnosis: A procedure in which the practitioner suggests changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, or behavior of the subject, who cooperates by altering his or her normal cognitive functioning. Errors and pseudomemories are so common under hypnosis that the APA opposes use of hypnosis-based testimony in courts of law; few courts allow it. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

9 Memory Measuring Memory Models of Memory
1/23/2018 In Pursuit of Memory Measuring Memory Models of Memory ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

10 Memory 1/23/2018 Measuring Memory Explicit Memory: Conscious, intentional recollection of an event or of an item of information. Implicit Memory: Unconscious retention in memory, as evidenced by the effect of a previous experience or previously encountered information on current thoughts or actions. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

11 Memory 1/23/2018 Explicit Memory Recall: The ability to retrieve and reproduce from memory previously encountered material. Recognition: The ability to identify previously encountered material. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

12 Memory 1/23/2018 Implicit Memory Priming: A method for measuring implicit memory in which a person reads or listens to information and is later tested to see whether the information affects performance on another type of task. Relearning: A method for measuring retention that compares the time required to relearn material with the time used in the initial learning of the material. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

13 The Three-Box Model of Memory
1/23/2018 The Three-Box Model of Memory Sensory Memory: Fleeting Impressions Short-term Memory: Memory’s Scratch Pad Long-term Memory: Final Destination ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

14 Three-Box Model of Memory
1/23/2018 Three-Box Model of Memory Figure 7.03 from Wade, C., & Tavris, C. (2002). Invitation to Psychology, 2nd Ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

15 Sensory Memory: Fleeting Impressions
1/23/2018 Sensory Memory: Fleeting Impressions Sensory Memory: A memory system that momentarily preserves extremely accurate images of sensory information. Pattern Recognition: The identification of a stimulus on the basis of information already contained in long-term memory. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

16 Short-term Memory: Memory’s Scratch Pad
1/23/2018 Short-term Memory: Memory’s Scratch Pad Short-Term Memory (STM): In the three-box model of memory, a limited capacity memory system involved in the retention of information for brief periods; it is also used to hold information retrieved from long-term memory for temporary use. Chunk: A meaningful unit of information; it may be composed of smaller units. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

17 Memory 1/23/2018 The Value of Chunking You have 5 seconds to memorize as much as you can Then, draw an empty chess board and reproduce the arrangement of pieces Figure 6.6 from: Kassin, S. (2001). Psychology, third edition. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

18 Long-term Memory: Final Destination
1/23/2018 Long-term Memory: Final Destination Procedural memories: Memories for performance of actions or skills. “Knowing how” Declarative memories: Memories of facts, rules, concepts, and events; includes semantic and episodic memory. “Knowing that” Semantic memories: General knowledge, including facts, rules, concepts, and propositions. Episodic memories: Personally experienced events and the contexts in which they occurred. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

20 Serial-Position Effect
Memory 1/23/2018 Serial-Position Effect The tendency for recall of first and last items on a list to surpass recall of items in the middle of the list. Figure 7.06 from Wade, C., & Tavris, C. (2002).

22 Memory 1/23/2018 Rehearsal Maintenance Rehearsal: Rote repetition of material in order to maintain its availability in memory. Elaborative Rehearsal: Association of new information with already stored knowledge and analysis of the new information to make it memorable. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

25 Memory 1/23/2018 Decay Decay Theory: The theory that information in memory eventually disappears if it is not accessed; it applies more to short-term than to long-term memory. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

26 Memory 1/23/2018 Forgetting Curve Herman Ebbinghaus tested his own memory for nonsense syllables. Forgetting was rapid at first and then tapered off. Figure 7.08a from Wade, C., & Tavris, C. (2002). Invitation to Psychology, 2nd Ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

27 Remembering Over Years
Memory 1/23/2018 Remembering Over Years Marigold Linton tested her own memory for personal events over a period of several years. Retention fell at a gradual but steady rate. Figure 7.08b from Wade, C., & Tavris, C. (2002). Invitation to Psychology, 2nd Ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

28 Memory 1/23/2018 Interference Retroactive Interference: Forgetting that occurs when recently learned material interferes with the ability to remember similar material stored previously. Proactive Interference: Forgetting that occurs when previously stored material interferes with the ability to remember similar, more recently learned material. Figures from page 251 Wade, C., & Tavris, C. (2002). Invitation to Psychology, 2nd Ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

29 Cue-dependent Forgetting
Memory 1/23/2018 Cue-dependent Forgetting Cue-Dependent Forgetting: The inability to retrieve information stored in memory because of insufficient cues for recall. State-Dependent Memory: The tendency to remember something when the rememberer is in the same physical or mental state as during the original learning or experience. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall

30 Memory 1/23/2018 Psychogenic Amnesia The partial or complete loss of memory (due to nonorganic causes) for threatening information or traumatic experiences. ©2002 Prentice Hall ©2002 Prentice Hall
