  2. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

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

    Memory has the ability to encode, store and recall information. Memories give an organism the capability to learn and adapt from previous experiences as well as build relationships. Encoding allows a perceived item of use or interest to be converted into a construct that can be stored within the brain and recalled later from long-term memory. [1]

  3. Encoding specificity principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_specificity_principle

    The encoding specificity principle is the general principle that matching the encoding contexts of information at recall assists in the retrieval of episodic memories. It provides a framework for understanding how the conditions present while encoding information relate to memory and recall of that information. [1]

  4. Elaborative encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaborative_encoding

    Elaborative encoding is a mnemonic system that uses some form of elaboration, such as an emotional cue, to assist in the retention of memories and knowledge. [1] In this system one attaches an additional piece of information to a memory task which makes it easier to recall.

  5. Remember versus know judgements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_versus_know...

    In his SPI model, Tulving stated that encoding into episodic and semantic memory is serial, storage is parallel, and retrieval is independent. [2] By this model, events are first encoded in semantic memory before being encoded in episodic memory; thus, both systems may have an influence on the recognition of the event.

  6. Self-reference effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-reference_effect

    Memory strategies and orientations that engage "deep" encoding processes benefit older adults. For example, older adults exhibit increased recall when using self-generated strategies that rely on personally relevant information (e.g., important birthdates) relative to other mnemonic strategies. However, research has shown that there are some ...

  7. Self-referential encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-referential_encoding

    Self-referential encoding is a method of organizing information in one's memory in which one interprets incoming information in relation to oneself, using one's self-concept as a background. [1] Examples include being able to attribute personality traits to oneself or to identify recollected episodes as being personal memories of the past. [2]

  8. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

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

    The theory of encoding specificity finds similarities between the process of recognition and that of recall. The encoding specificity principle states that memory utilizes information from the memory trace, or the situation in which it was learned, and from the environment in which it is retrieved. In other words, memory is improved when ...

  9. Incidental memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidental_memory

    Incidental memory is defined as the ability to acquire and recall information that was unintentionally encoded and stored. [1] It describes how memory formation occurs incidentally as a byproduct of engaging in other activities without conscious and deliberate efforts to remember and meaningfully process the information.
