Memory Map
  1. Encoding: Process by which information gets into storage
    1. Somantic: Use of sensory input that has a specific meaning. Example: You remember what a banana is because of its color
      1. Visual: Images
        1. Acoustic: Sound
          1. Elaborative: How already known information relates to new infotmation
          2. Storage
            1. Long term memory: Permanent storage
              1. Declaritive memory: Factual information. Example: WW1 started in 1914
                1. Semantic memory: General memory. Example: math facts
                  1. Episodic memory: Personal knowledge. Exapmle: your birthday
                    1. Autobiographical memory: A persons recollection of his or her life experiences
                    2. Information travels to the Hippocampus before the memory is consolidated (perminantly stored)
                    3. Procedural memory: Skills and habits. Example: riding a bike
                      1. Rely on Cerebellum and Basil ganglia
                    4. Short term memory: Holding place of memories for up to 20 seconds
                      1. Rehearsal: The repitition of information that has entered short-term memory
                        1. Mnemonics: Formal techniques for organizing information in a way that makes it more likely to be remembered.
                          1. Elaborative: Occurs when information is organized so that it is more likely to enter long term memory
                            1. Memory distortions: Memory reports that are different from what actually happened
                              1. Eyewitness testimony: May contain false information due to loss of memory
                                1. Repressed memory: Defence mechanism where a person is tramatized to a point where he/she forgets the memory all together
                                  1. Working memory: A combination of components including short term memory and attention, that allow the person to hold information temporarily as they perform a cognitive task
                                  2. Sensory memory: The retention of memory
                                    1. Haptic memory: Tactical memory store
                                      1. Echoic memory: Auditory memory store
                                        1. Iconic memory: Visual memory store
                                      2. Theroies of memory
                                        1. Decay Theory: Over time we can't retrieve memories because the traces of them fade away and disapear
                                          1. Interference Theory: When we form a new memory that is similar to one that already exists, interfearance with our ability to recall
                                            1. Atkinson-Shiffrin Theory (photo attached)
