memory and perception Flashcards
Working memory
temporary stage
Maintain goal relevant information for a short time
essential for language, problem-solving mental navigation
Complex mental multitasking
Cognition
working memory cortex
lateral prefrontal cortex
Temporoparietal association cortex
maintain, manipulating, update information in working memory
declarative memory
Facts, events, concepts locations
easily verbalized
Conscious
Explicit
Requires attention during recall
Three stages
Encoding consolidation retrieval
Procedural memory
recall of skills and habits
Non-conscious memory
Implicit
Perceptual and cognitive skill learning
Perceptual skills, including object, pattern, and face recognition
Practices required to store procedural memories
motor learning stages for procedural memory
cognitive- working to understand the steps of the task
Associative-refining movements to most effective
Automatic-walk and chew at the same time
comprehension of spoken language occurs in
Wernickes area
in the left frontal lobe, what provides instructions for language output
brocas area
instructions consist of planning the movements to produce speech and providing grammatical function words such as articles
flow of information during conversation
Primary auditory cortex
Secondary auditory cortex
Wernickes area
Subcortical connections
Brocas area
Oral and throat region of sensorimotor cortex
Perception
Interpretation of sensation into meaningful forms
Active process requiring interaction among the brain, the body and environment
Involves memory of experiences, motivation, expectations, selection of sensory information and active search for pertinent sensory information
Spatial perception
Area corresponding to wernickes area comprehend spatial relationships, providing schema of the body body in relation to its surroundings and external environment
