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
