Context dependent learning Superior retrieval of memories when the external context of the original
memories matches the retrieval context (the psychological context matters
more than the physical context).
Context reinstatement The process of recreating the thoughts and feelings of the learning
environment even when the recall location is much different.
Encoding specificity Phenomenon of remembering something better when the conditions under
which we retrieve information are similar to the conditions under which we
encoded it
Nodes Representations of ideas in the "memory network"
Associations (associative links) Connections between nodes
Activation level A measure of the current status for a node or detector. This increased if the
node receives the appropriate input from its associated nodes.
