PSYC33H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Retrograde Amnesia, Long-Term Memory, Baycrest
Document Summary
With proper attention it goes into short-term memory (working memory) Then it goes into long-term memory, with encoding. However, there is some decay in long-term memory. If you don"t rehearse the memory in short-term it won"t go into long-term. Memory systems: memory is broken down into declarative (explicit/conscious) and non-declarative (implicit/unconscious, memory obvious impairment in brain damage is: episodic. Biking example: declarative: recall the last time you rode a bike (episodic) and know what a bike is (semantic, nondeclarative: know how to ride a bike (procedural memory) Amnesia: retrograde = old memories and anterograde = new memories to be storage into long- term memory, retrograde: issues recalling events before the accident, anterograde: issues recalling events after the accident, anterograde is more common. Preserved: intellectual ability, semantic memory and procedural memory. Conditions that can disrupt episodic memory: the ones in blue are those treated in the memory lab in baycrest.
