Retrieval

Process by which you like faces of people you have seen before (recognize), more than novel faces

Ability to correctly distinguish between a previously seen stimulus and a new or novel stimuli

Phenomena by which memories that are retrieved more frequently are more susceptible to corruption by external stimuli

Participants in the Yes-No tests are only ask yes-no questions, compared to the FCRT participants who can be asked a wide range of varying questions

yes-no recognition tests do not yield results testing Retrieval memory, rather test imagination inflation

In a yes-no test shows participants 1 target at a time to gain a yes-no answer to if they have seen it before, while the FCRT shows participants multiple targets at once and participants are required to choose the one they have seen before

Hard to determining exactly what qualifies as good recognition

Impossible to determine what recognition memory really is

Cannot be sure individual participants are just guessing when they are unsure

very few people have the ability to recall/ recognise familiar objects in an experimental setting

A persons ability to remember commands (such as army signals)

An individuals ability to detect body language of strangers to access situations by generalizing previously determined signals

A model of Recognition theory by which traces in our memory have strength based on their activation level in memory-creates familiarity

A model of Encoding memory that allows individuals to use signals from previously encoded memories to attach new knowledge to the greater knowledge map of the topic

How much attention was paid to it at point of encoding

How many times the original target was repeated

Whether or not an individual likes the target

How similar the target is to everyday objects

Items maybe seen frequently outside they experiment, like a table, or a door

Individuals are only guessing answers and not truly paying attention to the test

new items may be similar to items studied

Inform participants at the beginning of the experiment that it is imperative they remember the old items

Increase the amount of time each item is studied during the encoding phase

Increase the number of times an item is studied during the encoding phase

Remove the individuals whose scores dont reflect expected results
