AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Recalling the memory of your son drinking juice is an example of retrieval. Before this point, the memory had been stored into long-term memory and you were not consciously aware of it. Retrieval is the process of accessing information stored in long-term memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tactile encoding is the encoding of how something feels, normally through the sense of touch. Physiologically, neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex of the brain react to vibrotactile stimuli caused by the feel of an object.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Retrieval Cue is a prompt that help us remember. When we make a new memory, we include certain information about the situation that act as triggers to access the memory. For example, when someone is introduced to us at a party, we don’t only store the name and appearance of the new acquaintance in our memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Encoding (Input of Information to Memory) Encoding information occurs through both automatic processing and effortful processing. For example, if someone asks you what you ate for lunch today, more than likely you could recall this information quite easily.
