PSYC1001 Lecture Notes - Sensory Memory, Basal Ganglia, Classical Conditioning
Document Summary
Memory, studying memory, building memories: encoding, memory storage, retrieval: getting information out, forgetting, memory construction errors. Studying memory: memory, persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. Information-processing models: used to help us think about how the brain forms and retrieves memories. Key terms: encoding, process of getting information into the memory system. Storage: process of retaining encoded information over time, retrieval, process of getting information out of memory storage. Information-processing: working memory, processes important, focused information, makes sense of new input, links with long-term memory, uses a central executive (baddeley) Building memories: encoding: our two-track memory system, automatic processing and implicit memories, effortful processing and explicit memories, our two-track memory system, explicit memories (declarative memories) of conscious facts and experiences encoded through conscious, effortful processing. Implicit memories (nondeclarative memories) that form through automatic processes and bypass the conscious encoding track: automatic processing and implicit memories. Implicit memories include automatic skills and classically conditioned associations.
