Document Summary
Schemas: are knowledge structures and expectations buold through ecperiences and memories and aid in navigation memory is reconstructive though and we often let schemas take control even if they lead to false judgments. Declarative memory: memory for specific facts or episodes; general knowledge or semantic memories. Nondeclarative memory: implicit and procedural memories, not overly recalled but apparent in functioning. Patients with amnesia have revealed much of what is known about ltm. The hippocampus has be shown to be vital for stm memory formation and trace formation but ltm processes are apparent throughout the cortex. The hippocampus is still thought to be important though for the coordination of memories for activation in consciousness. The multi-store model suggests we have 4 stores for memory: sensory memory perceives sensory information which is selectively held online by stm and with rehearsal through stm components may be transferred and stores in ltm.
