Encoding Specificity Principle
According to Hermann Ebbinghaus, what is the name of the process by which we forget information over time?
Decay
What is the name of the phenomenon where memory recall is better when the context at encoding and retrieval are the same?

According to the levels of processing theory by Craik and Lockhart, which type of processing leads to the best memory retention?
Deep processing
Who proposed the idea of dual coding theory stating that we process information both verbally and visually?

What is the name of the process by which we retrieve a memory by associating it with previously encoded cues?
Recognition
According to Atkinson and Shiffrin's model of memory, what are the three components of memory?
Sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory

Who proposed the theory that forgetting occurs due to interference from other memories?
John Jenkins and Karl Dallenbach
What is the name of the theory that proposes that we forget information due to insufficient encoding during learning?
Encoding failure theory
According to who, is sensory memory a pure 'iconic memory' system that has a very brief storage?
Sperling
What is the name of the phenomenon where a particular exposure to a memory makes it more likely to remember in the future?
Priming
According to who, is forgetting an adaptive process that helps us to focus on the things that are really important?

What is the name of the theory that proposes that we forget information due to problems during retrieval?
Retrieval failure theory
According to who, is memory an essential part of learning and development and there are different types of memories which serve different purposes?
Lev Vygotsky
What is the name of the process through which we remember information by linking it to previously learned information?
Association
