Document Summary

Psyc 2265 lecture 13 long-term memory: structure. Serial position: murdoch (1962, read stimulus list, write down all words that can be remembered, memory is better for words at the beginning of the list (primacy effect) and at the end (recency effect, serial position curve. Memory is better for stimuli presented at the beginning (the primacy effect: more time to rehearse, more likely to enter long-term memory. Memory is better for stimuli presented at the end of the list (the recency effect: stimuli is still in short-term memory. Implicit/non-declarative: unconscious memory: memory that unconsciously influences behaviour, explicit /declarative: conscious memory, conscious recollection of events experienced and facts learned, episodic: personal events and episodes, semantic: facts and knowledge. Coding in long-term memory: predominant type: semantic coding, meaning is important, remember meaning, but not the exact wording, others: auditory, visual. Types of explicit long-term memory: episodic memory involves mental time travel, no guarantee of accuracy, semantic does not involve mental time travel.
