Long Term MemoryCurrent LectureMemory Processes-memory is all about taking sensory detail and storing it somewhere-Examples of movies about memory loss:- The Bourne Identity (lost long-term memory)- 50 First Dates (lost short-term memory)- The Vow- Eternal Sunshine-Procedural memory: the memory that Jason from the Bourne Identity still retained. He can still jump through windows, drive, shoot, beat up people, jump through windows, break into offices. He lost his declarative memoryWhat is Memory?-3 Basic Processes1.
