PSYC2013 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Implicit Memory, Explicit Memory, Cognitive Neuroscience
Document Summary
Individual differences in working memory: performance in wm tasks reflect pure wm capacity and executive processes and the effects of strategies, pure measures of wm capacity and executive processes predict developmental changes and individual difference in fluid intelligence. Explicit vs implicit memory tasks: traditional approach to explicit memory tasks, subjects explicitly told to remember items intentional retrieval. Psyc 2013 - memory (part 2: memory performance shows levels of processing and transfer appropriate processing effects. Implicit memory tasks not told to try and remember, just perform a task compare performance for old and new items to infer memory. Neurophsycial evidence amnesia in hm: bilateral removal of hippocampal region to treat epilepsy caused severe memory loss. Transfer appropriate processing roediger 1990: memory depends on match between encoding and retrieval. Implicit/explicit memory tasks involve different retrieval so benefit from different encoding processes: explicit require conceptually driven retrieval so benefit from deep conceptual encoding.
