Document Summary

Visual coding both working memory and ltm. Auditory coding: predominant type in working memory. Working memory: dorsal lateral prefontal cortex, prefrontal cortex, visual cortex. Long-term memory: medial temporal lobe, hippocampus, amygdala. Not the main system of memory but better referred to as the hub for. Memory formation (encoding), especially long-term memories. accessing memory. The differences between stm and ltm goes beyond the systems but also involves coding in the brain. Episodic semantic procedural (cid:494)remembering(cid:495) events. (cid:494)knowing(cid:495) facts: mental time travel, parietal lobe is important. Interactions; episodic and semantic memories: knowing that the capital city of canada is ottawa. Watching a game when you understand the rules rather than a game that you do not understand. Autobiographical memory, you can remember events, as well as factual. Semanticization of memories: the longer time passes, the more likely we are knowledge about those events to remember only the facts (study of people (cid:494)remembering(cid:495) 911, remembering vs knowing vs not knowing)
