Document Summary
Lecture 9 declarative (episodic and semantic) memory. Lost ability to make new declarative memories. Encoded consolidated stored retrieved. Difficult to design, interpret: hippocampus is always encoding, remembering the boring parts, differently active, not more or less. Novelty or encoding: 1990"s studies failed to find any activation in the hippocampus with block design and fmri. Specific activity related to activity on the frontal lobes. Hc is constantly encoding new things, never stops encoding. Problems to find activation in hc when does the brain not- encode something? compare novel things to previously seen things. Stern et al. , 1996 varying stimuli > posterior hippocampus and parahipp. Erp difference due to memory (dm: incidental encoding, slow positivity for subsequently remembered items, fabiani 1980 - list of words and measure. Sorted data when they were encoding the words based off of their subsequent memory. Increased activity in ventral surface of temporal lobe and left frontal lobe.
