Study Notes
Long-Term Memory Structure
- All information encoded in LTM is semantic in nature
- Semantic codes combine to form propositions
- Long-term memory has a large capacity in terms of both space and duration
- Well-organized
Korsakoff's Syndrome and Amnesia
- Korsakoff's syndrome damages areas in the frontal and temporal lobes, leading to severe and permanent memory impairments. Usually caused by chronic alcoholism and vitamin B1 deficiency.
- Amnesia involves memory loss and/or the inability to learn.
- Retrograde amnesia involves the loss of memory for events before a trauma, but the ability to form new memories remains.
- Anterograde amnesia involves an inability to form new memories.
Distinguishing Between LTM and STM
- Long-term memory (LTM) is responsible for storing information over long periods.
- This includes a vast archive of information about past events.
Serial Position Curve
- Primacy effect: superior memory for stimuli presented at the beginning.
- Recency effect: superior memory for stimuli presented at the end; words are still in short-term memory (STM).
Coding in Long-Term Memory
- Although visual, auditory, and semantic coding can occur in LTM, semantic coding is prevalent.
- Example of semantic coding: Mistaking "tree" for "bush", highlighting the importance of meaning over visual or auditory cues in LTM.
Recognition Memory
- Recognition memory involves identifying a stimulus encountered previously.
- Pre-training involves presenting a stimulus.
- Testing involves presenting the same stimulus alongside others that were not presented before.
Location of STM and LTM in the Brain
- STM and LTM are distinct brain regions but there's some evidence for overlap.
Types of Long-Term Memory
- Explicit Memory (Declarative): Conscious memories
- Episodic: Personal experiences
- Semantic: Knowledge and facts
- Implicit Memory (Non-declarative): Unconscious memories
- Procedural: How to do things
- Priming: Change in response to stimuli due to previous exposure
- Classical conditioning: Stimulus response associations.
Distinguishing Episodic and Semantic Memory
- Episodic memory involves mental time travel, recalling past events.
- Includes what, when, and where.
- Semantic memory involves accessing knowledge about the world without remembering a personal experience.
Neuropsychological Evidence (Separation)
- K.C. suffered severe damage to the hippocampus, losing episodic memory, though semantic memory remained intact.
Encoding and Retrieval in LTM
- Encoding: process of acquiring information and moving it into LTM.
- Retrieval: is the process of moving information from LTM to working memory.
Priming (Implicit Memory)
- Priming occurs when a stimulus (priming stimulus) influences a response to a later stimulus (test stimulus)
- Negative priming: slows down processing.
- Positive Priming: speeds up/ enhances processing
Levels of Processing Theory
- Memory depends on how information is encoded.
- Deeper processing enhances encoding and retrieval relative to shallow processing.
Research Showing Encoding Influences Retrieval
- Factors like placing words in complex sentences, forming visual images, and connecting words to personal experiences improve memory retrieval.
- Generating information (generation effect) enhances learning and retention compared to passively receiving.
Organizing Information in Memory
- Memory systems organize information for efficient access.
- Effective retrieval relies on organized memory.
Retrieval (Getting Information from Memory)
- Retrieval cues (words or stimuli) help access stored information.
- Cued recall involves retrieval cues to aid memory.
- Free recall is recalling information without cues.
Eyewitness Testimony
- Information in eyewitness memory can be changed by elaborations or misleading information.
Misinformation Effect
- Misleading post-event information given after an event can change how a person describes that event later.
Autobiographical Memory
- Multidimensional, containing spatial, emotional, and sensory components.
- Loss of one aspect results in partial memory loss.
