C5. P3 Flashcards
What are some of the major changes to the multi store model of memory?
Some people can form long term memories without short term memories, emotional memories suggest that there is a way to deeply encode memories, and our ability to better understand stuff that is relative to us and in narrative form
What are three thigs retained from the original multi store model?
-The sensory memory stores.
-The concept of the long-term memory store.
-The importance of effortful processing and rehearsal for forming explicit memories and retrieving explicit memories.
What are the five things that changed the multi store model into the modified model of memory?
-Differentiates among multiple, relatively distinct memory systems.
-Assumes that there are various forms of retrieval (implicit and explicit).
-Assumes that factors other than rehearsal (e.g., depth of processing; emotional nature) impact the ease with which things are learned and retrieved.
-Views the role of attention differently.
-Expands short-term memory store to the broader concept of working memory.
Define expliciit memory.
Memory processes that are more conscious, are more under our control, and primarily involve memories that we can actively declare
Define implicit memory.
The internalization of experiences without awareness that are later retrieved to influence our experience and refer to the process of prior information influencing our present experience without ones awareness of this influence
What is episodic memory?
Memory for autobiographical events you have experienced
What is semantic memory?
Word definitions and one’s understanding of concepts and facts
Is serial organization part of episodic or semantic memory?
Episodic
What are the three subtypes of implicit memory?
Procedural learning, automatic encoding, and implicit learning and retrieval
What is procedural memory?
Muscle memory for performing tasks
Who is Henry Molaison?
Lost hippocampus so he could not form new memories, but he could form procedural ones
What is classical conditioning?
A is associated with B
How did Pavlov’s dogs experience classical conditioning?
Repeated exposure to bell and food made the dogs start salivating when they heard the bell
Which subtype of implicit memory is classical conditioning?
Implicit learning and retrieval
What is implicit learning?
A form of implicit memory in which patterns, associations, and rules can be learned without awareness
