MEMORY

1. What is Memory

   • It's formed when neutral connections reconstruct experiences as a memory
   • Memory can sometimes fade unless it is of important value
     • Memory can sometimes merge accidently with other information
   • To recall a memory, nerve cells reactivate
   • Memory has 2 distinct processes
     • It stores information
     • Retreiving memory

2. How memories form

   • The process of encoding a memory depends on many factors
     • Attention
       • Emotion
         • Sensation
           • Working Memory
             • Hippocampal processing
               • Consolidation
                 • The neural firing patterns that encode an experience.
               • It is when important Information transfers into the hippocampus
             • Its when a Short term memory stores until needed.
           • Sensory Stimuli are part of most experiences.
         • when you increase attention it makes an event more likely to be encoded into a memory
       • Focusing attention on an event helps to solidify the memory

3. Types of memory

   • Episodic Memory
     • it recalls past events or experiences
   • Semantic Memory
     • It retains factual information.
   • Working Memory
     • It stores information temporarily
   • Procedural Memory
     • It used already learned actions.
   • Implicit Memory
     • It brings back an unconcious memory.
