-
Memory is
an internal record or representation of some prior event or experience
-
Constructive process is
the organization and shaping of info during processing, storage, and retrevial of memories
-
Encoding is
the process of translating info into the neural language that will be retained in memory
-
Storage is
the process of retaining nueally coded info over time
-
the three steps in memory processing is
encoding, storage, retrieval
-
If you want to learn and remember info
organize stuff into catergories or patterns
-
Selective attention
directs our attention to things we concider important
-
selective attention
improves encoding
-
divided attention
interferes with encoding
-
keyboard, moniter, hard drive
encoding, retrieval, storage
-
Difference between memory processes and computer memory processes is
human process occur simultaneously wheras computer processes occur sequentially
-
Our brain performs multiple parallel operations at one times is called
parallel distributed processing, connectionist model of memory
-
the computer analogue
approach suggests that memory results from connections among multiple simultaneous networks.
-
Our need to process info rapidly for survival purposes is mostly supported by the
parallel distributed processing approach to memory
-
The three stage memory model
sensory, short term, long lerm
-
sensory memory
info lasts for a few seconds or less large but now unlimited storage capacity. 1/2 second to 4 seconds
-
echoic memory
is why you can recall what someone said several months ago, even if you were absorved in another tast when they first said it.
-
Short term
stores sensory info while deciding whether to send to it ltm. can hold for 30 seconds
-
maintenance rehearsal
is the process of repeating info over and over to maintain it in the stm.
-
chunking is
the process of grouping separate peices of info into a single unit to store more info
-
stm recieves info from
sensory and long term memory
-
long term memory
- stores info for long periods of time.
- greatest capacity and longest duration
-
baddeles working memory
- visuspatial sketchpad
- phonological rehearsal loop
- central executive
-
The phonological rehearsal loop is
holds and manipulates verbal information
-
two major systems of long term memory are
explicit and implicit
-
the general knowledge youve learned so far is
semantic memory
-
knowlede of facts and the relationships between them is called
sematic memory
-
knowledge of events is called
episodic memory
-
amygdala
emotional memory
-
cerebellum
creation and storage of the basic memory trace.
-
cerebral cotex
encodes memories and storage of skill learning and working memory
-
hippocampal
memory recognition
-
thalamus
formation of new memories.
