    Study Notes

    Atkinson-Shiffrin Model of Memory

    • Sensory memory is the initial stage of memory, where information is briefly held before being processed further.
    • Attention is necessary for information to be transferred from sensory memory to short-term memory.
    • Short-term memory (STM) is where information is actively processed and manipulated.
    • Rehearsal is a conscious process that involves repeating information in STM to increase the chances of it being encoded into long-term memory.
    • Information in STM can be lost due to displacement (being pushed out by new information) or decay (fading over time).
    • Long-term memory (LTM) stores information that has been encoded and is available for retrieval.
    • Memories in LTM can be lost over time.

    Explicit Memory

    • Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, is a type of long-term memory that can be consciously retrieved.
    • Explicit memories are consciously recalled and brought into awareness.
    • Explicit memories are also known as declarative memories because they can be declared or stated to someone else.
    • Semantic memory is a type of explicit memory that consists of general knowledge and facts.
    • Episodic memory is a type of explicit memory that consists of personal experiences or events.

    Brain Structures Involved in Memory

    • The hippocampus is a brain structure primarily involved in encoding explicit memories.
    • The amygdala is involved in processing emotional memories.
    • The neocortex is responsible for storing long-term memories.
    • The basal ganglia is involved in procedural learning and memory.
    • The cerebellum is involved in motor skill memory.

    Classical Conditioning

    • Classical conditioning is a type of learning where an involuntary response is associated with a previously neutral stimulus.
    • A conditioned fear response can be triggered by the repeated association of a neutral stimulus with a feared stimulus.
    • Classically conditioned memories are involuntary and can be reflexive.

    Distinguishing Between Declarative and Procedural Memories

    • Declarative memories often involve "knowing that" information, such as facts and events.
    • Procedural memories often involve "knowing how" to do something, such as skills and habits.
