memory
stored knowledge and processes for making and manipulating knowledge
- relies on neurological substrates that process info and have different rules of operation
true
T/F memory is the most common cognitive consequence after neurologic events
encoding, storage, retrieval
3 stages of memory processes
encoding
[3 stages of memory processes] taking information presented and processing learning
- initial stage
- level of analysis performed on material to be remembered
- both visual and auditory/verbal
storage
[3 stages of memory processes] cortical and subcortical placement of where memories
are stored
- transfer of transient memory to a form or location in the brain for permanent retention
or access
storage
,[3 stages of memory processes] occurs in hippocampal and temporal lobe structure
issues
- retention of info deteriorates after exposure
- abnormal rapid rate of forgetting
- issues noted in patients with anoxic TBI, encephalitis, Alzheimer's
retrieval
[3 stages of memory processes] process in which memories are accessed when
necessary
- searching for or activating existing memory traces
- occurs in frontal lobe
encoding
[3 stages of memory processes] ex, writing notes, recording audio, taking photos
storage
[3 stages of memory processes] ex, notebooks, pen and paper, digital system
retrieval
[3 stages of memory processes] ex, revisit and use the info you've captured
sensory, short term, working, long term
4 types of memory
sensory
[4 types of memory] earliest stage of information processing
- holds information from senses for a few seconds after item is perceived
- enables brain to screen large amounts of info
false (is)
,T/F sensory memory is not vulnerable to washout (leaving us quickly)
sensory
[4 types of memory] where attention and memory connect
- duration is estimated to range from a third of one second to as long as 2 seconds
short term
[4 types of memory] limited information temporarily in a state of heightened accessibility
(just presented events or recently retrieved info)
- enables recall of info that lasts a few minutes to hours
- amount of info that can be HELD in consciousness
working
[4 types of memory] limited amount of info that can be temporarily maintained in an
accessible state, making it useful for cognitive tasks
- central cognitive process responsible for temporary storage and active processing of
info
working
[4 types of memory] allows you to hold info in your mind while it is needed to accomplish
a task
- ability to hold small bits of info to use again in different way
ex) tying different shoes
active memory
whatever is on your mind at the moment
working
, [4 types of memory] what are these examples of:
-cashier needs to remember you paid with a $20 while she gives you change for $18.50
bill
-asking a patient to immediately recall the order in which digits were given
STM passively holds info; working actively processes it
STM = memory storage alone; working = memory storage + processing
STM vs working memory
long term
[4 types of memory] information that is stored cortically in the temporal lobes, for
ongoing delayed retrieval
- involves permanent consolidation and storage of info
- often lasts a lifetime
consolidation
the process by which memories become stored in various long term retention systems
(stable)
explicit/declarative (semantic, episodic, lexical) and implicit/non declarative
(procedural)
2 types of LTM and their subtypes
explicit
[LTM memory types] memory with conscious recall; learn on purpose
- facts and personal experiences
- info that can be consciously declared
semantic
