Storing Memories- Explicit memories Conscious recall Facts and experiences that are consciously known and declared General knowledge Processed by the hippocampusThese 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. Example: name of siblings- Implicit Memories Unconscious recall Involves learning an action while the individual does no know or can not declare that she knows Motor and cognitive Conditioning effects Processed by cerebellum Example: fear of guns or balloons Automatic reactions- HM in the 1950’s Severe epilepsy, so they removed the hippocampi From the time of the surgery, HM could not make any new memoriesII. Infantile Amnesia- Implicit memories stay with us for a lifetime- Explicit memory average of the earliest memory is 3.5 years Any memories before 2 are not remembered It is almost scientifically impossible to remember memories from before the age of 2 They have a half life Memories at age 3 can be remembered by 60% at the age of 7 andonly 34% at the age of 9III. Brain and Memory- These locations only store memories; they do not process them- Hippocampus: temporarily process explicit memories Left: visual information Right: designs and location- Cerebellum: forming and storing the implicit memory in the Cerebral CortexIV. Anterograde Amnesia- When one can not make new memories- Retrograde amnesia is when past memories are lost; this is very rareV. Retrieval- Recall: retrieve information effortfully- Recognition: must identify the answer from choices- Relearning: learn the material again- Memories are held together by associations- Associates are the anchors that help retrieve memories- Cues: Context effect: being in same context as learning Déjà vu: current situation unconsciously remember an earlier experience Moods: state-dependent memories Memories are dependent on the mood; being in the same mood helps one to rememberVI. Priming- To retrieve information you most activate one strand that leads to the memory- Hearing “rabbit” visualize a rabbit remember “hare” is also a rabbitVII. Forgetting- Encoding failure: you cannot remember something you never encoded- Motivated forgetting: Freud – repressed memories and cannot remember Motivated forgetting is unknowingly revising memories Repression: banishes anxiety-causing thoughtsVIII. For Exam- Read about decay- Read about the forgetting
