Most of what you forget goes in the first hours
- Forgetting is not a slow, even leak.
- The forgetting curve 遗忘曲线 falls steeply just after learning, then levels off.
- That shape is why when you review matters as much as how long.
你所遗忘的多数内容,是在最初几小时里失去的
- 遗忘并不是缓慢而均匀的流失。
- 遗忘曲线(forgetting curve)在学习之后陡然下降,随后趋于平缓。
- 正是这一形状使得何时复习与复习多久同等重要。
The forgetting curve shows a steady, even loss across the whole period. · 遗忘曲线显示在整个过程中均匀、稳定的损失。
It falls steeply just after learning, then levels off — which is why early review matters. · 它在学习后急剧下降，随后趋于平缓——这就是早期复习至关重要的原因。
Three reasons a memory will not come
- Encoding failure 编码失败 — it never went in properly.
- Interference 干扰 — proactive 前摄干扰 (old blocks new) or retroactive 倒摄干扰 (new blocks old).
- Retrieval failure 提取失败 — it is stored, but the cue is missing.
记忆无法浮现的三种原因
- 编码失败(encoding failure)——它根本没有被妥当地存进去。
- 干扰(interference)——前摄(proactive,旧的阻碍新的)或倒摄(retroactive,新的阻碍旧的)。
- 提取失败(retrieval failure)——它已被储存,但缺少线索。
Why did this memory fail? · 这段记忆为何失效？
Sort each case by the reason the CED would give. · 根据CED给出的原因对每种案例进行分类。
Proactive interference means... · 前摄抑制意味着……
Pro · 脯氨酸 (Pro)active = the prior learning is doing the blocking. · 前摄 = 先前的学习在起阻碍作用。
Motivated forgetting
- Psychodynamic theorists propose repression 压抑 — forgetting that defends the ego from distress.
- The CED presents this as a theory, not an established mechanism.
- Naming it as a psychodynamic claim, rather than a fact, is what a careful answer does.
动机性遗忘
- 精神动力学理论家提出压抑(repression)——为使自我免于痛苦而发生的遗忘。
- CED 把它呈现为一种理论,而非已确立的机制。
- 把它指认为精神动力学的主张而非事实,正是审慎答案的做法。
Match each failure to where it happens. · 将每种失败与其发生的阶段相匹配。
The three failures sit at three different points in the memory process. · 这三种失败分别位于记忆过程的三个不同节点。
Do not treat proactive and retroactive interference as interchangeable. Proactive means old learning blocks new; retroactive means new blocks old. Getting the direction backwards is one of the most common lost marks in this unit.
不要把前摄干扰与倒摄干扰当作可互换的。前摄是旧的学习阻碍新的;倒摄是新的阻碍旧的。把方向弄反是本单元最常见的失分之一。
Information met after an event changing the memory of it is the ____ effect. · 事件发生后接触的信息改变了对该事件的记忆，这被称为____效应。
The misinformation effect is why question wording can change eyewitness testimony. · 误导信息效应解释了为何提问方式可能改变目击者证词。
Select all · 所有 the memory errors the CED names. · 选择CED列出的所有记忆错误。
Chunking is an encoding strategy, not a memory error. · 组块是一项编码策略，而非记忆错误。
Memory is reconstructed, not replayed
- The misinformation effect 错误信息效应 means information met after an event changes the memory of it.
- Source amnesia 来源遗忘 is remembering the content but not where it came from.
- Constructive memory 建构性记忆 means you rebuild a memory each time, filling gaps with what is plausible.
记忆是重建的,不是回放的
- 错误信息效应(misinformation effect)意味着事件之后遇到的信息会改变对该事件的记忆。
- 来源遗忘(source amnesia)是记得内容却不记得它来自何处。
- 建构性记忆(constructive memory)意味着你每次都在重建记忆,用看似合理的内容填补空缺。
Why this matters outside the exam
- A confident memory and an accurate memory are not the same thing.
- Eyewitness testimony can be changed by the wording of a question asked afterwards.
- The CED expects you to treat vividness as no evidence of accuracy.
这为何在考试之外也重要
- 自信的记忆与准确的记忆不是一回事。
- 目击者证词可能被事后提问的措辞所改变。
- CED 要求你把生动性视为不构成准确性的证据。
Witnesses shown the same crash film gave higher speed estimates when asked how fast the cars "smashed" rather than "hit". The film did not change — the misinformation effect changed the memory of it.
观看同一段车祸影片的目击者,在被问及两车"猛撞"而非"相撞"时给出了更高的车速估计。影片没有变——是错误信息效应改变了关于它的记忆。
The forgetting curve falls steeply then levels. Memories fail through encoding failure, interference (proactive = old blocks new, retroactive = new blocks old) or retrieval failure. Repression is a psychodynamic theory. The misinformation effect, source amnesia and constructive memory show memory is rebuilt, not replayed.
遗忘曲线先陡降后趋平。记忆失效的途径有编码失败、干扰(前摄=旧阻新,倒摄=新阻旧)或提取失败。压抑是精神动力学理论。错误信息效应、来源遗忘与建构性记忆表明记忆是被重建的,而非被回放的。
