PSYC 304 1st Edition Lecture 11Outline of Last Lecture I. Pick’s DiseaseII. Depressive Pseudo DementiaIII. Basic Cognitive Functions – Information ProcessingIV. Attention (and Memory)V. Automatic ProcessingVI. Aging and DrivingOutline of Current LectureI. MemoryII. Sperling TaskIII. Short Term MemoryIV. Components of Working MemoryV. Long Term MemoryCurrent LectureI. Memorya. Sensoryi. Iconicii. Echoicb. Short Term Memoryi. Working MemoryThese 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.c. Long Term Memoryi. Episodicii. Semanticiii. Implicitiv. Sourced. Prospective Memoryi. Remember for the future “to-do” listse. Can we “train” our memory?f. Sensory Storei. Modality Specific1. Iconic-visual2. Echoic-Auditoryg. Perceptuali. Precategorical (not yet analyzed for meaning)ii. Limited CapacityII. Sperling Taska. Giving letters and asking people to recall a certain row of letters after a very brief showingi. When older adults do this test, they’re slower but accuracy rates are similarIII. Short Term Memory (broken down into two main categories below)a. Primary Memoryi. Limited Capacityii. Codes/Symbolsiii. Process/Organize info for LTMiv. Memory Search Task: Hold target in memory while searching a displayv. Older adults take longer to scan and search short term memoryvi. Memory Search Testsb. Working Memory: Dynamic aspect of STMc. Simultaneously Selecting, Coordinating, Holding and Processing incoming informationd. Measure of WM: Digit Span Backward Teste. Working memory is reliant in prefrontal cortex (shrinkage and cell loss with age)IV. Components of Working Memorya. Phonological Loop: Auditory Memoryb. Visuospatial Sketchpad: Visual Memoryc. Episodic Buffer: Retrieving info from LTMd. Central Executive: Allocates Cognitive Resourcese. Long Term Memoryf. Prefrontal area (working memor)g. Temporal-Hippocampal area (LTM – Episodic Memory)h. Must store informationi. Mainly involves hippocampus (important role)V. Three Main Parts of Long Term Memory:a. Episodic – When was the last time you rode a bicycle?i. Recollection of specific details of previous events, personal experience, time/place, large age related declinesii. Measures:1. Recognition: small age differences2. Recall: Large age differencesb. Semantic – What is a bicycle?c. Procedural – Bike riding
