Document Summary
Yara el bardisi - r/galwhowantsanmd visuospatial sketchpad and phonological loop. Phonological loop; processes verbal information (we use this when we are repeating a phone number). Central executive; mediates the communication between the 3 other components. Long term memory; unlimited capacity with explicit and implicit memory. Implicit (procedural) memory; conditioned associations and knowledge of how to do something. Memories formed from conditioning are implicit memories. Priming is also a form of implicit memory (discussed more in the retrieval cues section). The cerebellum is required in learning skills and conditioned associations. Explicit memory; able to declare or voice what is known. Made up of semantic and episodic memory. Episodic memory; autobiographical memory for person information such as experiencies. Hippocampus is necessary for encoding new explicit memories. Dual coding hypothesis; it"s easier to remember words associated with an image rather than the separate alone. Prospective memory; remembering to do things in the future. Stronger the more cues there are in the environment.
