Long Term Memory

Long Term Memory

1. explicit memory, declarative

   • -interacts with sensory memory
   • episodic (events)
     • autobiographical memory
   • semantic (facts)
   • recall memory test
   • working memory

2. implicit memory, non-declarative

   • -interacts with sensory memory -Priming: conceptual and perceptual. Nurse doctor example. Nodes of information readily activated depending on context/circumstance. -Skills, Habit, Procedures: sensori-motor, perceptual. “You never forget riding a bike”. Pin handshake example. Muscle memory.
   • priming
     • social priming
     • affects behavior
   • memory test
   • unconscious
     • Amnesiacs
       • HM mirror tracing
       • fear conditioning
   • affects explicit memory
   • implicit memory lasts longer
   • sensory memory

3. Learning as preparation for retrieval

   • Memory is context based
     • -We encode the context with the target material -Adaptive function of memory -Most relevant memories are most accessible 
     • Context Dependent Learning
       • Internal State: Mood
       • Location of Learning
       • Time of Day
     • State Dependent Learning
       • Physical State: Drunk or High
     • Spreading activation
       • Encoding Specificity
         • -the context you remember something will determine what cue words or hints are best. -the man__the piano. -remember "piano" -best cue: tuned  -bad cue: lifted
       • Repetition Priming
         • -type of procedural memory manifested as a change in the ability to identify an item as a result of a previous encounter with the item or stimuli.

4. Studying

   • spacing effect
     • effort
     • encoding
   • testing effect

5. Memory is Constructive

   • we rely on schemas and expectations when remembering. more understanding can lead to more false intrusions 
   • DRM
     • False Memory

6. Emotional Memory

   • flashbulb memory
     • narratuve rehearsal hypothesis

7. forgetting

   • Computational Explanation
   • Algorithmic Explanation
     • Interference
       • Retroactive
       • Proactive
     • Decay
   • Consolidation

8. Memory is Reconstructive

   • misinformation effects
     • source monitoring
       • Source Memory
