Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypermnesia is the phenomenon in which there is an increase in memory recall ability over time, resulting in a greater amount of recalled information on subsequent recall attempts. Overlearning refers to the process of continuing to practice or study even after the material has been mastered or learned. Reminiscence refers to the phenomenon in which previously learned information is remembered better when learning new, related information. Cannot occur (forgetting curve) means that no remembering occurs due to the forgetting curve theory which suggests that forgetting occurs rapidly at first and then levels off over time.
