memory
|
-a relatively permanent record of the experiences that underlie learning.
-the capacity to store and retrieve info. |
|
|
you are your memory
|
memory=self
|
|
|
anterograde amnesia
|
-unable to store new memories
-LTM ok, STM ok, no transfer of info from LTM and STM. -no new learning (hippocampus damage) |
|
|
retrograde amnesia
|
-unable to retrieve memories
-trauma wipes out memory for immediately preceding events. -forget past, current awareness o.k. |
|
|
3 key processes of memory:
|
1.) encoding (acquisition)
2.) storage (retention) 3.) retrieval (recover) |
|
|
Atkinson and Shiffrin multi-store model of memory
|
Sensory memory ---> Short term memory ---> Long term memory.
-rehearsal for long term, attention for short term. |
|
|
LTM
|
long term memory
|
|
|
STM
|
short term memory
|
|
|
hippocampus
|
bi-lateral, medial temporal lobe structure
|
|
|
amnesics
|
show several types of priming (implicit memory).
-incomplete drawing task -word completion task |
|
|
explicit memory (aka Declarative Memory)
|
-aware/conscious
-know the source of the memory -recall test |
|
|
implicit memory (aka Procedural Memory)
|
-unaware/non-conscious
-unaware of the source of the memory; memory based off of familiarity. -priming -recognition test |
|
|
procedural (unaware/non-conscious memory)
|
-conditioning
-motor skills |
|
|
source memory
|
being able to place the item in an explicit context, which is related to retrieval cues.
|
|
|
familiarity
|
having the feeling of recently experiencing an item without being able to explicitly remember the context.
|
|
|
types of LTM:
|
-explicit (declarative)
------semantic ------episodic -implicit (procedural) -------skills priming -------classical & operant condit. |
|
|
semantic memory
|
-branch of explicit memory
-knowledge about the world and about the language -content addressable -concepts and their organization |
|
|
episodic memory
|
-branch of explicit memory
-autobiographical memories |
|
|
schemas
|
abstract knowledge structures about particular objects or events
|
|
|
elaborative rehearsal (processing)
|
-moves through levels
-leads to deeper processing, which helps LTM |
|
|
maintenance (rote) rehearsal (processing)
|
-stays at one level
-does not help LTM |
