Abstract

Cognitive psychology is the study of higher mental activities, as well as the process of receiving, encoding, manipulating, retrieving, and using memories. In cognitive psychology, the study of brain memory is an important part. this study would have difficulty judging the accuracy and validity of our memories. However, This study will want to use this study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the encoding specificity principle and its positive effect on memory. In this study, This study will set up experiments to prove my conjecture and opinion on the principle of specific coding. The experiment was tested under real-world conditions, which means the data collected is real and valid. At the same time, This study will also refer to some academic literature as the basis of my research, and the theoretical knowledge in the research is based on the basis. This study will also discuss and critique theoretical knowledge and experimental examples from previous studies.
