    Study Notes

    Simplified Mnemonic for Memory

    • Explicit Memory: "E-E-S-S" (Encyclopedia, Episodic Events, Semantic Statements)
    • Implicit Memory: "I-I-P-P" (Implicit Instincts, Procedural Patterns, Priming Precepts)

    ACT-R Cognitive Architecture

    • Operates serially, processing one production rule at a time
    • Consists of multiple specialized modules interacting with a central production system
    • Models human cognitive processing with a focus on serial and step-by-step information processing

    Fodor's Language of Thought vs. Chomsky's Universal Grammar

    • Fodor's Model: focuses on mental language 'Mentalese' used for all cognitive processes
    • Chomsky's Universal Grammar: explains the innate grammatical structure for language acquisition
    • Both models emphasize innateness but differ in application; Fodor's is broad, Chomsky's is language-specific

    Mental Imagery vs. Visual Imagery

    • Mental Imagery: involves internal representations of sensory experiences from any sense
    • Visual Imagery: specifically involves internal visualizations, like 'seeing' images in the mind

    HARD PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS

    • Involves subjective experience, e.g. "Left Laughter, Right Rain"

    Brain Waves

    • Gamma: high mental activity and information integration, ideal for gamers
    • Beta: active, focused alertness, characteristic of cognitive tasks and problem-solving
    • Alpha: calm, relaxed yet awake state, always ready but calm
    • Delta: slow and high-amplitude waves seen in deep, restorative sleep and unconscious states

    Autonomic Nervous System

    • Sympathetic: prepares body for rapid action in stressful situations, "speed"
    • Parasympathetic: helps body to relax, conserve energy after stress, "pause"

    Limbic System and Broca Aphasia

    • Limbic: associated with love
    • Broca aphasia: difficulty with language production, "buy bread store"

    Dorsal and Ventral Streams

    • "SPACE FACE" mnemonic: Spatial, Parietal, Above path, Cortex connection, Ending, Form, Anterior path, Cortex connection, Ending with Extra
    • Dorsal Stream: deals with spatial location, begins at striate cortex, ends at Posterior Parietal Cortex
    • Ventral Stream: focuses on form recognition, begins at striate cortex, ends at Inferior Temporal Cortex

    Hippocampus

    • plays a role in forming explicit memories
