Document Summary
Topic #5: memory systems talking about memory in 2 different contexts: memories that are explicit in nature. Don"t have to have conscious access to them; we can access them without top-down conscious awareness tend to be motor related, more often than not. Motor learning/how you learn a new task can prove this thought that when you learn a new motor task, you progress through 3 distinct stages of learning - cognitive stage, associative stage, and autonomous stage. Cognitive stage is more explicit; autonomous is more implicit - use for continuum. Cognitive: completely conscious of what you are doing; make a lot of mistakes but do not know how to correct them. Associative: nexus between cognitive and autonomous; require less top-down cognitive involvement; become highly aware of the fact that you are making mistakes, but not necessarily sure how to correct those mistakes; still under conscious system.
