Document Summary
Roger brown set up a tip of the tounge situation where they provided definitions. The feeling of knowing disruptions in the retrieval processes diff come from damage to the prefrontal cortex. Damage to the pfc hinders recall even for very well learned info. Retrieval recovering target mem based on cues, subsewuently bringing target into awareness it is a progression from one or more cues to a target mem via associative connections linking them togeather, through a process of spreading activation. Traces in mem are linked to one another by connections called associations (links) associations are structural linkages bw traces that very in strength. Content addressable mem any aspect of the content of a mem can serve as a reminder that could access the experience. If target accumulates enough activation from cue it will be retrieved. Retrieval involves the reinstatement via sa, of a pattern of activation over feature units that represent a mem.
