Document Summary
Example: person using a calculator, whiteboard/notebook as a shared memory . Storing a short bit of sound or picture for very short time. Could last couple seconds or a couple years (no one really knows) Can be hard to retrieve things from long term. Episodic (what"s happened to you, first time you did something) Procedural knowledge (i can"t tell you how to do this, but i know how) We don"t know where long term memory is actually stored. If it"s removed then you can"t form new long term memories. Learning is changing memory with the purpose of preparing a mind for better action in the future. Then getting used to it, no longer scared. A behavioural response is amplified by repeated exposure to a stimulus. Example: at first you barely notice a vibrating cell phone but after a while you become very sensitive to it. Behaving similarly to stimulus b as you do to stimulus a.
