PSYC23H3 Lecture Notes - Procedural Memory, Glove, Explicit Memory
Document Summary
One of the central idea of memory was it was in a way like an experience makes an impact on the soul. In the study they simply had special pop of ppl who had electrodes put deep inside in their brain. Record single neurons deep inside- record bunch of them simultaneously. Few minutes later ask the subjects to recall when they watch particular video, specific neurons fired- some parts of the brain is firing when it proceeds something and other part firing when remembering. Brand new memory is unstable and easy to mess with it. Initial memories are plastic and only after memory consolidation the outcome is strong. System consolidation- hippocampus is so important, when you go from initial point of forming memory and then move to independent place of memory where you don"t rely on hip. Making synapses alter in some way to represent that info- cellular or synaptic consolidation.
