- Cue Depending Forgetting
- Specific to Long Term Memory - forgetting is a retrieval failure
- Forgetting is due to lack of cues
- 1. that are linked meaningfully to the information
- 2. that are not linked meaningfully to the information
- When we learn information we encode the context with the information and the mental state we are in
- Context Dependent Forgetting
- When the environment during recall differs from the environment you were in when learning
- Godden and Baddeley (1975) tested the effect of environment on recall
- State Dependent Forgetting
- When your mood or physiological state during recall is different from the mood you were in when you were learning
- Goodwin et al (1969)
- Retrieval Failure
- When we cannot access a memory until the correct retrieval cue is used
- Tulving (1972) created the 'Encoding Specificity Principle'
- Encoding a new memory create new information to store, if we cannot remember the memory it could be because we are not in a similar environment
