Memory Errors, Forgetting, and Learning

In this video, we're going to discuss the ways in which we forget, including decay and interference. We'll also apply the information that psychologists know about the way memory works in order to determine ways to enhance the ways we learn.
Decay: A short-term memory error in which information in short-term memory simply fades over time due to lack of rehearsal.
Interference: A short-term memory error in which information in short-term memory is lost due to competition from additional incoming information.
Retroactive Interference: A form of interference in which learning new information interferes with memory of old information.
Proactive Interference: A form of interference in which memory of old information interferes with the learning of new information.
Specificity of Memory: Principle of memory which states that we are more likely to remember something when the learning conditions match the retrieval conditions.
Context-Dependent Memory: Enhanced retrieval (i.e., memory) when the external context is consistent from learning to test.
State-Dependent Memory: Enhanced retrieval (i.e., memory) when the individual’s internal state is consistent from learning to test.

I believe that instructors/teachers who sets the test, play on that system by switching the multichoice answers around and other tricks, because they don't want students to rely on crutches, so to speak, to remember the answer. When I remember anything that I read I often remember which side of the book it was on or sometimes I may remember where I was when I read it, even though it may be years ago. But, sometimes I also remember a fact about a subject, but can't remember which book I learnt it from or when or where I was living at the time. So the memory works in all kind of weird ways.

Funny how learning is confused with memorization.
