1. Memory as information processing

   • Memory
     • - Episodic
       • - Declarative
         • - Semantic
         • /Procedural
     • Explicit memory
     • Implicit memory
   • Storage
     • Memory codes
       • Phonological, visual, semantic, motor codes
     • Chunking
   • Encoding
   • Three stage model
     • Sensory memory - working memory - long term memory
     • Working memory
       • - Phonological loop > phonological store & articulatory.. - Visuospatial sketchboard > Visual/spatial - Episodic buffer - Central executive
     • Long-term
       • Serial position effect
     • Sensory
       • Sensory register = Iconic store 

2. Memory & and the brain

   • Forgetting
     • Why
       • Encoding failure
       • Decay theory
       • Interference theory
         • Proactive interference
         • Retroactive interference
       • Motivated
         • Freud
     • Reminiscence
     • Tip of the tongue state
     • Retrospetive memory
   • Amnesia
     • Retrograde Anterograde
     • Dementia
       • Infantile dementia
   • Alzeimer's deísease
   • Brain
     • Sensory/working
       • Sensory systems/Frontal lobes, prefrontal cortex Thalamus - encoding new memories
     • Long-term
       • Hippocampus
       • Memory consolidation
     • Precedural
       • Cerebellum
     • Synaptic change
       • Aplysia retracts its gill in defence..........p.355 sensory and motor neurons
   • Long term potentiation
     • Studied in the hippocampus.......................p.355

3. Encoding

   • Effortful processing
   • Automatic processing
   • Levels of processing
     • The more deeply you process inf
   • Exposure & rehearsal
     • Maintenance rehearsal
     • Elaborative rehearsal
     • Organization/imaginary
       • Hierarchy
       • Visual imagery
         • Dual coding theory
           • verbal and visual codes
         • Method of loci
       • The enactment effect
       • Schemas
         • Meaningful/random positions
         • Associative network
           • Priming
           • Neural networks
             • PDP
     • Mnemonic device

4. As constructive process

   • Distorition & schemas
     • Boundary extemsion
     • Misinformation effects
     • Source confusion
     • Accuracy & suggestibility
       • Child witness
     • Cultural schemas
   • False confessions
     • 1. Voluntary  2. Complaint -3.Internalized

5. Retrieval inf

   • Retrieval cues
     • The value of muliplt cues
       • The value of distinctiveness
         • Arousal, emotion & memory
           • Autobiographical memory
           • Flashbulb memory
             • Confidence & accuracy
   • Context/state/mood
     • Encoding specificity principle
     • Context dependent memory
     • State dependent memory
     • Mood congruent recall
