Split Brain Surgery- seizure prevention II. Plasticity: brain changes with experience, connections are flexible a. Ex: London taxi drivers experiment: found that experience driving throughout thelarge city of London had made the taxi drivers’ hippocampi larger than those in the control groupb. If brain wasn’t plastic, couldn’t learnc. Decreases with age; especially if you don’t use your brain!d. Use it or lose it! End of BrainIII. Memorya. Short-Term Memory: stores a limited amount of information for about 15-30 seconds without rehearsingb. Long-Term Memory: stores an unlimited amount of information for perhaps a lifetimeIV. Types of Memorya. Declarative (Explicit): facts or events; know that you know these thingsi. Episodic: when and where of your life happenings; autobiographical; easier to recallii. Semantic: persons knowledge about the world; factual knowledge b. Nondeclarative (Implicit): no conscious recollection; don’t know you know thingsi. Motor memories: ex: how to ride a bikeii. Classical Conditioningiii. Implicit Attitude Formation: ex: Give people a list of names. Two weeks later, give a new list of names with a few repeat names from the first list. Ask the people who on the second list is famous. Results: People chose the names that were on both lists, because they had seen them before, but just could not recall from where- so they inferred those names as the famous people.iv. Possibly responsible for déjà vu c. Sensory: lasts up to several seconds; constantly going, but you pay attention to what is importanti. Echoic: Auditory ii. Iconic:
