Types of Memory Flashcards
Sensory Memory Definition
Input from the 5 senses;
can be ignored or perceived and transferred to short memory in <1 second
Sensory Changes with Age
Stable except for sensory impairment that may occur with age (eg, visual loss)
STM changes with age
Stable, but may require more effort to encode before decay.
Short-term (working memory) capacity, recall, and process time
Limited capacity
Temporary recall
Processed in 10–15 seconds long-term storage or decay
STM location
prefrontal cortex
Implicit (procedural) definition
Subconscious influence of previously encountered information on subsequent performance
Automatic, rote
Implicit (procedural)
Changes with Age
Stable (e.g., remains intact until late in a cognitive disease state)
Semantic memory definition
Structured facts, meanings, concepts, and knowledge
Episodic memory definition
personally experienced events
Gradual and linear decline across lifespan primarily ( mostly with encoding and retrieval) happens with
semantic and episodic
Music triggers these 2 types of memory
- sensory
- procedural
Location of sensory information
hippocampus
location of episodic information
hippocampus
location of procedural information
cerebellum
