lecture 5: memory pt 1 Flashcards
define the term memory
the result of acquired information
memory is subdivided into what 3 stages?
encoding, storage and retrieval
sensory memory is split into…
iconic (visual) and echoic (auditory) memory
hierachal modal model of memory
sensury inputs - sensory register - STM - LTM.
the modal model of memory says we need what other processes…
attention for STM and then rehearsal for LTM
baddeley and Hitch proposed what model
Working memory
Working Memory consists of what three processes?
central executive, phonological loop and the visuaospatial sketchpas.
hierachal model and WM differ on their processing routes… what is the difference.
hierachal believes that it is serial processing so one stage cannot begin without completing the other whereas WM it is parallel so the processes occur at the same time.
WM is found inbetween what 2 brain areas?
BA44 and the supramarginal gyrus.
procedural memory has no need for what brain lobe?
the medial temporal lobe.
what is priming?
change in the response to a stimulus following prior exposure to a stimulus.
what are the two types of amnesia
retrograde or anterograde amnesia
retrograde amnesia
the ability to remember things from the past.
anterograde amnesia
amnesia for the future- inability to learn new things.
episodic memory requires…
the what, when and where.
episodic memory is processed
in the medial temporal lobe which consists of peritinal cortex and parahippocampal cortex
other lesions that can cause amnesia are?
dorsomedial nucleus of thalamus and mammilary bodies
Patient E.E
had surgery for the tumour in his left angular gyrus which is associated with STM, despite a severly impared STM his LTM remained.
another form of memory that is spared by hippocampal damage is…
familiarity
how do we measure familiarity
if word is green you say if its big or small but if word is red you say if it is alive or inanimate- scan phase.
confidence judgement- have you seen this word before and source judgement was the word green or red
