Lecture 11- Memory, Capturing The Moment Flashcards
What is an episodic memory made of
- Contextual information: time and location.
- Relations of details: people, time and location.
- A one shot memory
Damage to bilateral hippocampus causes
Classical amnesia
Divided attention during what markedly impairs memory
Encoding
Attention boosted source memory for
The attended feature
What was activated more when people encoded the attended features
Hippocampus
Hippocampus essential for what with memories
Binding items and context to create memories
Attention may modify input to
Hippocampus
Which is often easier to remember, pictures or words
Pictures
What types of words are easier to remember
Mentally imageable words (concrete words)
What’s dual code theory
An image plus a verbal code produces a richer memory trace
What’s the Von Restorff isolation effect
Memory boost from processing difference in the context of similarity
What abolishes picture superiority effect
Making words more distinctive using colour and fonts
What makes data visualisations memorable
Objects, colour and complexity
What was better for memory, course related (schema) information or unrelated (no schema) information
Course-related (schema)
What’s activated more and less in schema related facts
- Medial prefrontal cortex +
- Medial temporal lobe -
What predicted Y2 course performance
-Medial prefrontal cortex schema related activation
Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex is activated by what
- Semantic processing
- Successfully encoded words into memory
Cortical regions involved in encoding
Change when the ongoing task changes
Prefrontal cortex damage does not cause
Frank amnesia
What does prefrontal cortex damage cause
Difficulties with memory control
What is PFC
Prefrontal cortex
What is DLPFC
Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
What is DLPFC involved with
Executive functions like manipulation of information in working memory
When DLPFC is activated during encoding people are more likely to organise later recall by
Meaning
