Long-term memory

When students cram for exam they depends mostly on their memory retrieval. Retrieving of the information helps student to recall the lectures that was encoded and stored in their brain. Memory retrieval is the process of taking information out of storage. Memory retrieval has four basics retrieval cues in which the information can be taken from long term memory. Retrieval cues are hints that generate the retrieval of long term memories. First cue…

A retrieval cue is a stimulus that assist in the recall or recognition of information stored in memory. The presence of retrieval cues can make memory retrieval much easier by accessing memories stored in long-term memory and bringing them to your conscious awareness. However, the ability to effectively retrieve these cues depends on the extent to which an individual could tap into the information that was encoded at the time of learning. For instance, while you are out shopping, you ran into a…

Long-Term Memory: Encoding and Retrieval After reading chapter seven about encoding techniques that improve retrieval, I decided to pay closer attention to how I study. I found that my studying habits were not all great. I did the majority of my studying on campus, either at the library or in a relaxed area. I would listen to music and read over the material, highlight the important terms, and finish with an overall feeling that I understood the content. When the time came to prove that I knew…

amygdala, and the cingulate cortex. In general, the limbic system is involved in emotions, motivation, memory, and learning. However, as I eat pizza, socialize, and play cards, I am primarily using the hippocampus and hypothalamus parts of my brain. To begin with, the hippocampus is located within the medial temporal lobe on each side of the brain. The hippocampus plays a role in our learning memory, and ability to compare sensory information to expectations. For example, as I am socializing,…

extreme damage. Memory loss (amnesia) is unusual forgetfulness. You may not be able to remember new events, recall one or more memories of the past, or both. The memory loss may be for a short time and then resolve (transient). Or, it may not go away, and, depending on the cause, it can get worse over time Normal aging can cause some forgetfulness.

her emotions control her actions and behaviors as well as create memories for her (Doctor, 2015). The characters inside her head are the five main emotions that every person carries, which include: joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust.

They may be separated by long-term or short-term as well as a joyful…

C2A. Preliminary Results: C2A1. Establishment of fear conditioning protocols to study consolidation and extinction of fear memories: Presented below is published and preliminary data to establish feasibility for the proposed studies; the conditioning and extinction protocols are sensitive to manipulations that enhance or impair fear memory storage and the acquisition and consolidation of extinction. We reported (Zhang et al. 2013) that mice given post-training serotonin 2A receptor agonist TCB-2…

A long term memory loss that I have experience was being able play a clarinet. When I was younger there were many instruments that I could play quite well but somehow forgot how the music and the corresponding chords that go with the music read. I found this out recently when my daughter decided she wanted to join band and the instrument she decided to play, I was ecstatic and discussed how I could help her with practicing because of my prior experience. However the day she came home with…

As people age, some memory loss is normal. Almost everyone will forget where they put their keys, but if a loved one forgets what a key is, or how to use it, the problem is much more severe. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, and memory is one of the brain’s most complex functions. Memory allows humans to recall a wide range of experiences and information, including names, visual impressions, language, sounds, flavors and so on. The brain integrates these experiences, along…
