Document Summary
Non declarative (implicit) memory (completing words in a sentence memory) Memories relatively inaccessible to conscious recollection, but expressed through behaviour. Procedural memory (skill memory, acquired incrementally, improve over time. Priming (unconscious activation of information in memory that enhances our processing of information) Classical conditioning (results in uncontrolled, unconscious responses to stimuli) Explicit memories > refers to facts and experiences that one can consciously know and declare. Implicit memories > involves learning an action while the individual does not know or declare what she knows. Suffered from severe epilepsy in both temporal lobes. Surgery resulted in reduction of seizures and an increase in iq. His impact on the study of memory : Prompted research into role of the hippocampus and medical temporal lobe in memory functioning. Provided rst evidence that there is a different mode of storage for short-term and long term memories. Selective loss of face recognition abilities due to damage of temporal lobe.
