Document Summary
Set #4 (lectures 9, 10 & 11) mpsa. ntcs@gmail. com. In our book there are two chapters about memory. The one that we will deal with today is memory traces and memory schemas, and the next one is memory systems (or something like that). Today we will talk about traces versus schemas. We are going to try and distinguish between physical traces of memory and recollection of memory, and how we remember events. In the next class, we will deal with memory systems and hopefully amnesias. We can look at the dissociations of different memory systems. Before we start, we saw a short video (the significance of this will be described later): http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=d7epylkabm8. We do not have the same problem that we had with attention. Memory is the study of how we encode information, retrieve it and remember past events. Memory is also about remembering future events, for example remembering that the next midterm is on.
