Module 31
Memory Models
-
-
-
Automatic Processing
Unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time, and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings
Space
Example: While studying you often encode the place on a page or in your notebook where certain material appears; later when you want to retrieve the information, you may visualize its location
Time
Example: While going about your day, you unintentionally note the sequence of its events. later, realizing you've left your backpack somewhere, the even sequence your brain automatically encoded will enable you to retrace your steps and find the backpack.
Frequency
You effortlessly keep track of how many times things happen, as when you realize, "This is the third time I've run into her today."
-
Parallel Processing
Processing Many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions
Memory
Memory
The persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information
Long-Term Memory
The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system, Includes knowledge skills and experiences
-
Sensory Memory
The immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system
Working Memory
A newer understanding of short-term memory that adds conscious active processing of incoming auditory and visual information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory
Important People
-
Richard Shiffrin
Worked with Atkinson to propose a three stage model including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
Richard Atkinson
Worked with Shiffrin to propose a three stage model including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
-
Alan Baddeley
Expanded on Atkinson and Shiffrin's idea of short-term memory as a space for briefly storing recent thoughts and experiences
Retention
Recall
Retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time. A fill-in-the-blank question tests your recall.
Relearning
Learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time. when you study for a final exam or engage a language used in early childhood, you will relearn the material more easily than you did initially
-
Module 33
Source amnesia
Faulty memory for how, when, or where information was learned or imagined
-
-
-
-
-
Deja vu
That eerie sense that "I've experienced this before" Cues from the current situation may unconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience
Reconsolidation
A process in which previously stored memories when retrieved, are potentiality altered before being stored again
-
Repression
In psychoanalytical theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety-arousing thoughts, feeling, and memories
Module 32
Memory
Hippocampus
A neural center located in the limbic system ; helps process explicit (conscious ) memories -- of facts and events -- for storage
-

-
Implicit Memory
-
Joseph Ledoux
Recalled a story of a brain-damaged patient whose amnesia left her unable to recognize her physician as, each day he shook her hand and introduced himself. One day she yanked her hand back for the physician had pricked her with tack in his palm and after that she refused to shake his hand

Emotions
Trigger stress hormones
-
When excited or stressed we make more glucose to fuel brain activity also letting the brain know something important is happening
