Process of Learning Flashcards
what is declarative memory?
memory that is accessible to consciousness
define conciousness
memory that can be verbalized with high accuracy
what are the two types of declarative memory?
facts and episodic memory
what is non-declarative/procedural memory?
memory that is not accessible to consciousness; knowledge of how
what are explicit tasks?
tasks that probe declarative knowledge
what are implicit tasks?
skills performed in absence of any explicit knowledge
where is declarative memory held?
medial temporal lobe/hippocampus (long-term memories) and prefrontal cortex (holds explicit knowledge)
where is non-declarative memory held?
cortical motor areas (convert abstract to specific movement), the basal ganglia (sequenced motor actions) and the cerebellum (internal model)
automatization; implicit or explicit motor learning?
implicit shows slight positive effects compared to explicit
declarative and procedural memory combined does what:
evidence that the two systems compete even though they are different brain areas
post-stroke individual learning:
relies on declarative strategies to overcome impairments
