Study Notes
Chapter 8: Memory
- Explicit memory is divided into episodic and semantic memory
- Episodic memory involves remembering events, initially proposed in the 1970s
- Semantic memory involves remembering facts
- Procedural memory involves remembering how to do things
- Equipotentiality hypothesis suggests that any part of the brain involved in memory can take over if another part is damaged
- Damage to the hippocampus results in memory impairment
- Retrograde amnesia affects the ability to recall past events
- Anterograde amnesia affects the ability to form new memories
- Memory is vulnerable to suggestion and can be easily influenced, especially in witnesses
