Document Summary
Transitioning between stm to ltm: how we encode matters. Distinctions between neural interactions in frontal area and hippocampus and adjacent areas. Encoding portion is very important for ltm: 2 types of rehearsal. Maintains information but unlikely to transfer it to ltm. Penny example: differe(cid:374)t pe(cid:374)(cid:374)ies sho(cid:449)(cid:374) (cid:449)ith slight alteratio(cid:374)s; do(cid:374)"t k(cid:374)o(cid:449) the (cid:272)orre(cid:272)t pe(cid:374)(cid:374)(cid:455) (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause do(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e ela(cid:271)orate (cid:373)e(cid:373)or(cid:455) of it, e(cid:448)e(cid:374) though (cid:455)ou"(cid:448)e seen pennies so many times relational/elaborative rehearsal: linking. More likely to transfer information to ltm levels of processing theory: memory depends on how information is encoded intentional vs. incidental intentional: consciously trying to learn incidental: learning without any intent to learn, depth of processing. Shallow processing: superficial, little attention to meaning (poor memory) Deep processing: close attention to meaning (good memory) Entering long term storage: strong effect of level of processing. Hyde and jenkins: no difference between remembering the words when asked how pleasant they are and being asked to learn the words.
