Learning Memory Flashcards
Is the process acquiring new information
Learning
Refers to the persistence learning in a state that can be revealed at a later time
Memory (Squire, 1987)
Learning and memory can be subdivided into major hypothetical stages
- encoding
- storage
- retrieval
Encoding stage has 2 separate steps
- acquisition
- consolidation
Registers inputs in sensory buffers and sensory analysis stage
Acquisition
Creates a stronger representation over time
Consolidation
Deficits memory as a function of brain damage, disease, or psychological trauma
Amnesia
From a cognitive neuroscience perspective, it conceived as a biological changes that underlie the long term retention of learned information
Consolidation
Stream processes spartial context and culminate in parahippocampal cortex
Dorsal information
Processes exteroceptive signals for scene learning
Caudal hippocampus
Stream processes object recognition and culminates in peripheral cortex
Ventral information
Processes interoceptive signals in emotional and motivational modulation
Rostral hippocampus
Retrogade amnesia form new long term memories
Isolated retrogade amnesia
