What are the 3 phases of memory
|
1) Encoding (acquisition)phase
2) Retention (storage) phase 3) Retrieval (recognition) phase |
|
|
|
What 4 states must exist for encoding (acquistion) to occur?
|
Person must be Alert, Awake, Attentive, and Ask questions
|
4 states= 4 A's for Aquisition of memory (encoding)
|
|
|
What lesion can make encoding (phase 1) difficult?
|
Damage to the frontal lobe
|
|
|
|
What dysfunctions occur to memory if the frontal lobe is damaged?
|
may have problems encoding, categorizing, and organizing new information
|
|
|
|
What can we do to maximize retention (storage) of memory?
|
Talk about it, rehearsal, teach others, and think about it. All of these promote connection between cortical areas
|
|
|
|
HOw does retrieval (recognition) of memory work?
|
The brain has to gather all the sensory fragments from brain regions and apply them to pre-existing knowledge.
|
|
|
|
What lobe is responsible for holding on to memory information?
|
The Temporal lobe is the index for the sensory information and holds onto the info until the higher cortical areas take over the memory.
|
|
|
|
How is a specific memory found by the brain?
|
each event has an engram, a pathway that's created for the stored event
|
|
|
|
What helps in storing and ability to retrieve the info
|
-use visual images and link them to mental location.
-use acronyms |
|
|
|
What are the 3 memory divisions?
|
1) Immediate memory
2) Short-term memory 3) Long-term memory |
|
|
|
How long does immediate memory last?
|
about 1 minute. no storage takes place
|
|
|
|
How long does short-term memory (working memory)last?
|
from 1 minute to an hour, less if not encoded and stored
|
|
|
|
How long does long-term memory last?
|
1 hr and beyond; this is the function of the hippocampus
|
|
|
|
What are the two types of amnesia?
|
1) Anterograde memory loss
2) Retrograde memory loss |
|
|
|
What is Anterograde memory loss?
|
a type of amnesia where STM cannot be encoded into LTM; however, LTM stays intact.
|
|
|
|
What is Retrograde memory loss?
|
a type of amnesia where a person entire past memories are lost. But usually returns at some point with recover.
