Study Notes
Brain Structures and Sensory Processing
- The thalamus is primarily associated with the processing of sensory information, acting as a relay station for sensory inputs before they reach the cerebral cortex.
Psychological Phenomenon of Inattention
- Inattentional blindness refers to the failure to perceive an unexpected stimulus in plain sight, often occurring when attention is focused on a specific task.
Types of Memory
- Long-term memory is responsible for the retention of information over extended periods, potentially lasting a lifetime, and includes explicit (declarative) and implicit (non-declarative) memories.
Understanding Perception
- In psychology, perception refers to the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information, enabling individuals to understand their environment.
Memory Techniques
- The serial position effect explains the ability to remember the order of items in a list when presented quickly, highlighting patterns between items retained from the beginning (primacy effect) and the end (recency effect) of the list.
