Memory Flashcards
What was important about patient M?
He had his hippocampus removed which is KEY to memory formation. He could not form new memories but he could learn new skills.
What is the multi-store model?
SENSORY MEMORY/ SHORT TERM MEMORY/ LONG TERM MEMORY. sensory through attention leads to short term memory. Rehearsal reinfroces short term memory. SHort term becomes long term via transfer and retrieval?
What is Sensory memory.
Data: Same as perception through colors shapes and sounds. Lasts 1-2 seconds maximum. Think of the tone experiment.
What is short term memory?
Info can be more abstract. Stored via rehearsal (repetition) Can be abstract. such as Word meanings and letter identity.
What is Declarative Memory?
Fact and events we can consciously remember and report.
What are the two types of Declarative Memory?
Factual Declarative Memory and Event Declarative Memory
What is Factual Declarative Memory?
Semantic memory. sometimes called jeopardy knowledge. Such as Dogs have four legs. State capital. 2+2 . How to spell
What is Event Declarative Memory?
Episodic Memory. Memories of experiences in specific places at times. Almost video like. Examples are like an embarrassing event.

Habits: Behaviors that are automatically activated by context. Like checking your phone. It’s an association between a cue and a type of behavior.
What are the different types of Nondeclaritive Memory?
Procedural (Skills and Habits)
Priming and Perceptual Learning
Simple Classical Conditioning
Non associative Learning
What is conditioning?
Result of association a condition/stimulus with a reaction to a response. (Pavlov dog experiment)
What types of conditioning are there?
Classical Conditioning PAVLOV but also a light with the rabbit and air comes on.
