Memory

He had his hippocampus removed which is KEY to memory formation. He could not form new memories but he could learn new skills.

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?

Data: Same as perception through colors shapes and sounds. Lasts 1-2 seconds maximum. Think of the tone experiment.

Info can be more abstract. Stored via rehearsal (repetition) Can be abstract. such as Word meanings and letter identity.

Fact and events we can consciously remember and report.

Factual Declarative Memory and Event Declarative Memory

Semantic memory. sometimes called jeopardy knowledge. Such as Dogs have four legs. State capital. 2+2 . How to spell

Episodic Memory. Memories of experiences in specific places at times. Almost video like. Examples are like an embarrassing event.

When a behavior of a mental act is enhanced by prior exposure. Repetition priming: e,g, You’re faster at responding to a stimulus you’ve named before. Conceptual Associative priming e,g, you’re faster saying “candy” after just seeing “sweet” Conceptual associative. Like we say nurses are essential to a hospital. What words starts with D.

It is skills and habits. Skills Behaviors that are improved repetition. Skills like riding a bike. Habits: Behaviors that are automatically activated by context. Like checking your phone. It’s an association between a cue and a type of behavior.

Procedural (Skills and Habits) Priming and Perceptual Learning Simple Classical Conditioning Non associative Learning

Result of association a condition/stimulus with a reaction to a response. (Pavlov dog experiment)

Classical Conditioning PAVLOV but also a light with the rabbit and air comes on. Operant Conditioning - Specific consequences are associated with a voluntary behavior. Like rewards introduces to increase a behavior or Punishment introduced to decrease a behavior.

DATA Information is coming in STORAGE RETRIEVAL USE (info is transmitted)

When you take an input>something to remember a perception or experience and reduce to something simpler to take up less space.

You have addresses where you store locations with information. An organized way to make it searchable.

These type of memories don’t have addresses that are distinct from their content. There are incomplete patterns and the system finds the pattern most similar to it.
