Different elements of memories may be processed and stored in different parts of the brain / sites of effect. Tip-of-Tongue Phenomenon. When we forget something it may not be due to loss from memory, but to failure of retrieval. Memory performance is best when conditions/processing at encoding and retrieval match. Recognition failure. Implicit memory: concepts encountered recently are easily accessible and increase the perceptual fluency of stimuli = stimuli are processed more efficiently. Contrary to conscious processing, implicit processing is not correlated with age and IQ. |
