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: -The encoding specificity principle shows that memories are linked to the context in which they are created. It states that it’s easier to recall information when you are in the same context in which you memorized or studied it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The encoding specificity principle is the idea that cues and contexts specific to a particular memory will be most effective in helping us recall it. Returning to the same physical context or emotional state (mood congruency) in which we formed a memory can help us retrieve it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Memory cues are internal mental transformations of information or external reminders that help people recall target information.

Detailed explanation-5: -Encoding is the act of getting information into our memory system through automatic or effortful processing. Storage is retention of the information, and retrieval is the act of getting information out of storage and into conscious awareness through recall, recognition, and relearning.
