Document Summary

Is a processing system that: encode, stores retrieves: encode/record: getting info into system by translating into a neural code, storage: retaining information over time, retrieval: accessing stored information. Sensory memory: briefly holds incoming sensory information, has several subsystem called sensory registers then some enters to short-term memory. Involves factual knowledge: episodic memory: experience (emotion, semantic memory: facts, procedural, skills-motor and cognitive (riding a bike, classical conditioning: h. m learned pairing and performed without knowing he is conditioned. Ability to recall an item based on the position in a series. Primary effect: recalling for beginning of a list: most rehearsal (repeated exposure, ex: kf (patient with parietal lobe damged) Recency effect: better recalling for the end of a list, least interference do not have to remember as long, ex: hm (patient with hippocampus removed) remembers last few words. Effortful processing: initiated intentionally: conscious attention required, use: remember every: names, events, work, amount learned is dependent on time learning.
