Study Notes
Ribot’s Law
- Retrograde amnesia duration correlates with the severity of the underlying neurological disorder.
- In cases such as concussive head injuries, memory recovery occurs in reverse order: older memories return first.
Kinds of Memory
- Short-Term Memory: Temporary retention of information, such as remembering a phone number just long enough to dial it.
- Long-Term Memory Types:
- Explicit Memory: Conscious awareness of learning new information.
- Episodic Memory: Personal recollection of events, including context and timing.
- Semantic Memory: Knowledge about facts and concepts without recalling specific experiences.
- Implicit Memory: Unconscious retention of information, often related to skills.
- Procedural Memory: Involves skills and tasks (e.g., driving).
- Classical Conditioning: Learning by associating stimuli.
- Explicit Memory: Conscious awareness of learning new information.
Development of Explicit Memory
- Encoding: Process of attending to and linking new information with existing memories, enhancing retention.
- Storage: Retention of memories with seemingly limitless capacity in long-term storage, unlike limited short-term memory.
- Consolidation: Stabilization of memories through structural changes in synapses; includes:
- Synaptic Consolidation: Changes occurring shortly after learning.
- Systems Consolidation: Transition of dependent memories to be independent from the hippocampus.
- Retrieval: Process of recalling stored information, which can be subject to distortion similar to perception.
Types of Learning
- Non-associative Learning: Learning about a single stimulus, includes forms like:
- Habituation: Diminished response to repeated benign stimuli.
- Sensitization: Amplified response after an intense stimulus.
- Associative Learning: Relating two stimuli or behavior to stimuli:
- Classical Conditioning: Learning based on pairing stimuli, establishing a conditioned response.
- Operant Conditioning: Learning based on consequences of behavior (Law of Effect).
Extinction
- Occurs when a conditioned response decreases with repeated presentation of a conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.
Long-Term Potentiation
- A mechanism underlying learning and memory that involves the persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent activity.
Intelligence
- A combination of multiple abilities with possible genetic roots and distinct anatomical representations.
- Involves connectivity between the frontal lobe and other brain areas, impacting attention and motivation.
Creativity
- Tied to specialized skills and may not reside in specific brain structures but rather depend on associative areas in conjunction with frontal lobe functions.
Semantic Knowledge
- Associated with motor patterns in left premotor and middle temporal regions concerning object use.
Implicit Memory and Priming
- Priming: Activation of an association just before another task influences responses without conscious guidance.
- Conceptual Priming: Related to meaning.
- Perceptual Priming: Related to form.
- Impaired perceptual priming occurs with damage to sensory cortex related regions.
Skill Learning
- Develops from cognitive stages requiring conscious attention to autonomous stages performing tasks with less conscious effort.
- Involves brain regions such as the basal ganglia and cerebellum during sensorimotor learning, confirmed by functional imaging studies.
