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.
