amnesia

ribot's law

secondary memory is ltm (james)

long-term memory types

schemas help produce expectations that reduce the ambiguity of new situations

prospective memory

general characteristics

STM intact

memory for language and concepts is intact

severe and lasting anterograde amnesia

there will be retrograde amnesia

skill learning, conditioning and priming intact

recently formed memories are more susceptible to impairment than older memories

non-declarative/implicit memory

declarative/explicit memory

procedural memory

habit learning

priming

skill learning

choking/paralysis by analysis

used to investigate: probabilistic classification learning

memory acquired over time through repeated associations between stimuli and responses

learning a set of associations that can't readily be memorised and information from across many trials must be used to complete the task

exposure to a stimulus affects a subsequent response

category exemplar tasks

semantic memory

episodic memory

false memories

permastore

metamemory

the ability to monitor and inspect the content of memory

'i am 100% sure of this'

the likelihood that we know something which we can't currently recall

three key properties

autobiographical memories

associated with our subjective sense of time

there's a connection to the self

mental time travel is associated with autonomic consciousness

allows us to use memory to relive past events and imagine ourselves in the future

déjà vu

mechanisms:

split perception

implicit memory

gestalt familiarity

getting a brief glimpse of a visual scene before becoming fully aware of it

a feeling of familiarity when re-encountering scene you have already (partly) experienced

scene we encounter closely resembles other encountered scene

imagination inflation

disputed memories

strengthening of a false memory through repeated retrieval

the ownership of the memory is unclear (siblings)

schemas are organised memory structures that allow us to apply past experience to novel situations to guide behaviour

memory that allows us to remember to perform certain actions

action slip

event-based

time-based

OCD deficit prospective memory

an action being completed when it wasn't intended

triggered by a particular cue

triggered by a particular time

pulses

steps

intentions that are time-locked ('oven in 30 minutes')

intentions with wider time frame ('call john this week')
