Ch 14 Learning & Memory Flashcards
subsystem often used to memorize a phone number, a list of names
verbal
three parts of working memory
executive control, verbal subsystem, spatial subsystem
subsystem for remembering information on a map, or keeping track of players during a game
spatial
verbal substem is in blank cortical region mostly
posterior
executive control blank resources to working memory subsystems
allocates
neurons remain firing during blank period after seeing an object
delay
blank region of the brain works dynamically with the blank to cause responses
frontal, somatosensory cortex
increased demand of working memory requires greater recruitment of the blank
frontal (central executive)
working memory is a blank cognitive ability for blank functioning
core, intellectual
working memory can only focus on about blank components
4
two types of long term memory
implicit, explicit (declarative)
conscious retrieval of previous experiences or conscious recall of factual information about people, places, things
explicit
automatic, unconscious learned responses
implicit
flexible long term memory
explicit
implicit memory is blank because these memories are best when conditions closely match when the learning blank
inflexible, occurred
memory about factual information or concepts
semantic
autobiographical memory
episodic
relating object to other observed info that involves working memory
encoding
maintaining this information in mind over some period of time with working memory
storage
stabilizing information for a longer time and involves structural change
consolidation
when stored info is recalled
retrieval
two types of explicit memory
semantic, episodic
side of inferior temporal region that recognizes object form
left
easier to remember semantic information because there was recent exposure to that type of information
conceptual priming
