Anterograde Amnesia
|
the loss of the ability to encode and learn new information after a defined event (such as head injury, lesion, or diseas onset)
|
|
|
Retrograde Amnesia
|
the loss of old memories from before an event or illness
|
|
|
Sensory Memory
|
Lasts only milliseconds. Capacity is unlimited.
|
|
|
Short Term Memory (STM)
|
Limited capacity (7 bits of info, plus or minus 2). Degrades quickly.
|
|
|
Long Term Memory (LTM)
|
Unlimited Capacity. Permanent. Encode, storage, retrieval.
|
|
|
Remote Memory
|
Memory for long-past events
|
|
|
Declarative Memory
|
Is explicit and accessible to conscious awareness.
|
|
|
Nondeclarative Memory
|
Usually implicit and is demonstrated through performance. Example: Procedural memory, Motor skills learning, mirror reading, and verbal priming.
|
|

Ex. First time riding a bike |
|
|
Semantic Memory
|
Information and facts that have no specific time tag reference. General information.
Ex. Who is the president |
|
|
Hemispheric-Encoding-Retrieval-Asymmetry (HERA)
|
Tulving.
Declarative Model of Encoding and Retrieval. Proposes that the PRE-FRONTAL (DORSOLATERAL) region of the LEFT hemisphere is primarily involved in episodic encoding, whereas the PRE-FRONTAL area of the RIGHT hemisphere is prominently activated for retrieval of episodic memory |
