5 main types of memory
semantic
episodic
procedural
motor
emotional
2 divisions of memory
explicit and implicit
semantic memory
facts
episodic memory
experiences
how are semantic and episodic memory interrelated?
similar anatomy - hippocampus
explicit memory
declarative
conscious
deliberate
implicit memory
non-declarative
unconscious
automatic
3 types of implicit memory
procedural
motor
emotional
procedural memory
habits and skills
motor memory
coordination
emotional memory
classical conditioning
what memory is for facts?
semantic
what memory is for experiences?
episodic
what memory is for habits and skills?
procedural
what memory is for coordination?
motor
what memory is for classical conditioning and feelings?
emotional
brain area for procedural memory
striatum
brain area for motor memory
motor system - cerebellum
brain area for emotional memory
limbic system
role of hippocampus in memory
- Declarative/explicit memory
- Spatial memory/learning
- Early loss in AD
- Active site of neurogenesis (new neurons made here)
- Many subregions (overlap and interact)
active site of neurogenesis
hippocampus
role of striatum in memory
- Procedural memory
- Motivation
- Reward
- Reinforcement
- Motor responses to the above (Brodman area 40
- Multiple subregions
role of limbic system in memory
- Includes: amygdala, cingulate, hypothalamus, spetum, hippocampus, etc
- How do I feel?
- Emotional memory
features of STM
- Unlimited capacity
- sensory processing
