PSYCH 322- 1st Edition Lecture 12Outline of Last Lecture I.Distinguishing between STM and LTMII.& the reconstructive nature of memoryOutline of Current LectureIII.Questions to considerIV.Long-Term memoryV.Explicit vs Implicit memoryVI.Serial position curveVII.Coding in Long-Term memoryCurrent LectureLTMEXPLICIT IMPLICITEpisodic Semantic Procedural Priming ConditioningAutobiographical MemoryExplicit (declarative) – something that you can describe and teach, you are able to remember where something happened and you can declare the knowledge of itEpisodic- able to tell a story about a particular event (may or may not be from personal experience), self-knowledge from personal experiencesSemantic- context free, you KNOW it, it is a factImplicit- a memory where you can’t tell when or how you know the informationThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute. Conscious, aware,declarativeUnconscious, not aware of“Skill memory”Personal semantic memoryI.Questions to considera.How are memories of personal experiences, like what you did last summer,different from memories of facts, like state capitols?i.Personal memories are called episodic memories and factual memories are semantic. They are both a form of explicit memoryb.How do the different types of memory interact in our everyday experience?i.LTM affects our current awareness and abilities when learning new information. When you already have some knowledge of a subject, it’s difficult not to let that interfere with current situationsc.How has memory loss been depicted in popular films?i.50 first dates – able to live a normal daily life, but once she goes to sleep at night, she wakes up and doesn’t remember anythingii.Before I go to sleepII.Long-Term memorya.“Archive” of information about past events and knowledge learnedb.Works closely with working memoryc.Storage stretches from a few moments ago to as far back as one can rememberd.The more recent the memory the more detailed it ise.Korsakoff’s syndrome:i.Result of chronic alcoholismii.Unable to form new Long-term memoriesiii.Anterograde amnesiaIII.Explicit vs Implicit memoryIV.Serial position – read stimulus list, write down all words remembereda.Serial position curve- i.Memory is better for stimuli presented at the beginning of the list because you have more time to rehearse 1.The more time you have to rehearse, the more likely the information is to enter into LTMii.Memory is better for stimuli presented at the end of the list because the stimuli is still in STM and because of the recency effect1.The information is still temporarily in working memory and being put through a phonological loopV.Coding in Long-Term memory (3 types)i.Semantic Coding: Predominant type1.Remembering the meaning but not the exact wordingii.Auditoryiii.Visualb.Intact memory- something you will never forgetc.Memory is reconstructed when trying to remember thingsi.We encode it like puzzle pieces, sometimes we pull pieces from the wrong
