CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Encoding specificity refers to the idea that memory retrieval is improved when the encoding context is the same as the retrieval context. In other words, memory is more likely to be recalled when specific external or internal cues present during memory retrieval are the same as the cues present during memory encoding.

Detailed explanation-2: -It states that it’s easier to recall information when you are in the same context in which you memorized or studied it. So, for example, if you study for a test in a specific room, you will perform better on that test if you take it in the same room.

Detailed explanation-3: -Semantic encoding is easier to recall than the non-semantic or shallow encoding of things. Attaching emotions to information is a good idea to make semantic encoding much more memorable.

Detailed explanation-4: -The encoding specificity principle of memory (Tulving & Thomson, 1973) provides an general theoretical framework for understanding how contextual information affects memory. Specifically, the principle states that memory is improved when information available at encoding is also available at retrieval.

Detailed explanation-5: -Within explicit, or declarative, memory, there are three basic stages of memory processing. Encoding is the process of forming new memories. Storage comes next, and is the process of information maintenance. And finally there is the process of gaining access to stored knowledge, referred to as retrieval.
