  2. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    In other words, memory is improved when information available at encoding is also available at retrieval. For example, if one is to learn about a topic and study it in a specific location, but take their exam in a different setting, they would not have had as much of a successful memory recall as if they were in the location that they learned ...

  3. Misattribution of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misattribution_of_memory

    In psychology, the misattribution of memory or source misattribution is the misidentification of the origin of a memory by the person making the memory recall. Misattribution is likely to occur when individuals are unable to monitor and control the influence of their attitudes, toward their judgments, at the time of retrieval. [ 1 ]

  4. Memory error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_error

    When attention is divided, less activity in the lower left frontal lobe diminishes the ability for elaborative memory encoding to take place, and results in absentminded forgetting. More recent research has shown that divided attention also leads to less hippocampal involvement in encoding. [ 5 ]

  5. Hippocampal memory encoding and retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_memory...

    In the hippocampal encoding/retrieval (HIPER) model, episodic encoding is found to take place within the rostral region of the hippocampus whereas retrieval takes place in the caudal region. [2] However, the divide between these regions need not be disjoint, as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has demonstrated encoding ...

  6. Reconstructive memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstructive_memory

    These are known as retrieval cues [citation needed] and they play a major role in reconstructive memory. The use of retrieval cues can both promote the accuracy of reconstructive memory as well as detract from it. The most common aspect of retrieval cues associated with reconstructive memory is the process that involves recollection.

  7. Semantic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_memory

    Semantic memory is distinct from episodic memory—the memory of experiences and specific events that occur in one's life that can be recreated at any given point. [3] For instance, semantic memory might contain information about what a cat is, whereas episodic memory might contain a specific memory of stroking a particular cat.

  8. Eidetic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory

    Eidetic memory (/ aɪ ˈ d ɛ t ɪ k / eye-DET-ik), also known as photographic memory and total recall, is the ability to recall an image from memory with high precision—at least for a brief period of time—after seeing it only once [1] and without using a mnemonic device.

  9. Explicit memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_memory

    Explicit memory (or declarative memory) is one of the two main types of long-term human memory, the other of which is implicit memory. Explicit memory is the conscious, intentional recollection of factual information, previous experiences, and concepts. [1] This type of memory is dependent upon three processes: acquisition, consolidation, and ...
