Lecture 12- Memory Using It Not Losing It Flashcards
Written free recall of words improved by
Scene cues at test
What’s free recall
Minimal cue
What’s cued recall
Additional cue
What do global matching models believe retrieval is a function of
Match of cues with all stored memory traces
What is content addressable memory
Find by knowing content
What does the complementary learning systems model believe
Episodic memory representations stored in cortex, partial cue triggers pattern completion by the hippocampus
Context is incorporated in the
Memory trace
Cueing with context helps
Retrieve that memory
Idea that a cue should match
It’s processing overlap with what was encoded
Cue- dependent forgetting related to
Morris et al’s Transfer- Appropriate Processing principle
Scene cues had a larger effect when
Studied videos were associated with fewer words
Cues better when more
Diagnostic
What did Polyn et al 2005 study with fMRIs show
Different types of events had unique patterns brain activity which were reinstated during recall
Reinstatement started his long before recall
5 seconds before
Different types of events have unique patterns of brain activity which are
Reinstated during recall
