    Study Notes

    Long Term Memory (LTM)

    • LTM is a vast archive of past events and learned knowledge.
    • It spans a considerable period of time.
    • Examples include recalling dinner last night, a past birthday event, or a favorite teacher from childhood.

    Different Types of LTM

    • LTM can be categorized as declarative (conscious) and implicit (unconscious).

    • Declarative memory has two subtypes:

      • Episodic memory: remembering specific past events. This includes when an event occurred.
      • Semantic memory: knowledge about the world in general, not tied to a particular time or person (facts, concepts).
    • Implicit memory, also known as non-declarative memory, affects behavior without conscious awareness of past experiences.

      • Priming: past exposure effects how we respond to a stimulus again. Ex: If you repeatedly see the word "happy", you may be more likely to say something positive upon seeing the word "happiness."
      • Procedural memory: skills and habits we've acquired. (examples of skills include tying your shoes, driving a car, or riding a bike)

    How STM Becomes LTM

    • Encoding: the process of transferring information from short-term memory (STM) into long-term memory (LTM). This involves several methods:
      • Rehearsal: Repeating the information over and over.
      • Levels of processing (deep vs. shallow) - deeper processing creating stronger memories than shallow processing. The more meaning you attach to information, the more likely you are to remember it.
      • Making connections: connecting new information to information already in your memory.
      • Organizing: grouping related memories together to help you retain and recall them.

    How LTM is Retrieved (Recalling Memories)

    • Retrieval cues: signals (words, actions, places).
    • Transfer-appropriate processing: encoding and retrieval methods match. Use the same type of processing when studying as you will use when recalling.
    • Encoding specificity: learning information within a specific context makes recalling that information easier when in that same context.
    • State-dependent learning: remembering better if the learning and recall conditions are the same. (example: studying in the same room or having the same emotional state during study and recall).

    Factors that aid Encoding

    • Elaboration: actively thinking about the meaning of what you are trying to learn.

    • Organization: structuring the material in meaningful ways (such as outlines or concept maps).

    • Association: linking new information to existing knowledge.

    • Self-reference effect: information tied to personal experiences or meaning is usually better remembered.

    • Spaced repetition: spacing out study sessions improves remembering compared to cramming.

    • Context-matching: learning in the same setting as tests improves recall.

    • Mood-matching: emotional state during learning and recall enhances memory, (example: feeling the same emotion during studying and a test).
