Study Notes
Understanding Long-Term Memory and Implicit Memory
- Study presented descriptions of events over a 50-year period to older adults
- Results showed complete forgetting increases with time, and remember response decreased more than know response
- Memories from 40-50 years ago had lost much of their episodic character, illustrating semanticization of remote memories
- Addis et al. (2007) found a network of areas associated with memory processes was active in both remembering past events and imagining future events
- Implicit memory unconsciously influences behavior, such as procedural (skill) memory and priming
- Procedural memory is different from explicit memory and involves memory for actions without memory of where or when learned
- Professional cyclists often unconsciously use implicit memory when racing
- People who cannot form new episodic memories can still learn new skills
- Parkinson's patients and amnesics were tested on a probabilistic "weather prediction" task, showing a key finding dissociating declarative and procedural memory
- Social priming and repetition priming are types of implicit memory
- Propaganda effect and classical conditioning are examples of implicit memory in everyday experiences
- Memory can be categorized into sensory, short-term, long-term, implicit, and explicit memory, with various subtypes like declarative, episodic, procedural, semantic, and classical conditioning.
Test your knowledge of long-term memory and implicit memory with this quiz. Explore the semanticization of remote memories, the influence of implicit memory on behavior, and the different subtypes of memory such as procedural, declarative, and classical conditioning. See how memory processes are active in remembering past events and imagining future events, and learn about real-life examples of implicit memory in everyday experiences.
