Document Summary
What will we learn today: priming, short term memory, working memory, long term memory, long term potentiation, memory failures. Long term and short term memory: textbook: learning, retention, and recall of info. First you need to learn and then retention, after when you use it, you recall it. More difficult to remember than last one question. Same as the last one, need some cues to recall. Learning and remembering: defining memory is difficult, no unitary construct of memory, before we can remember, we must learn: encoding (taking info from the world) . Info is stored in long term memory in associative network (cid:708) . (cid:709: 3 parts of memory, sensory memory: seeing, hearing and touching, working memory: process when we think info, long term memory. Test: remember letters showed in a very short time. Results from first trial indicated sensory memory could hold 3-4. Result from second trial also showed 3-4 items could be held in sensory memory.
