Document Summary

Explicit memory: conscious of the recall or recognition, direct recollection. Indirect recall: prior experience affects performance without conscious awareness of recall. Three kinds: conditioning, procedural memory &priming. Pavlov"s dogs: us meat, ur salivating, cs bell, cr prior to conditioning, the bell would produce no salivating the cr, by repeatedly pairing the cs and the us, the cs comes to predict the us, leading to. Memory that enables you to perform specific learned habits or habitual responses. Examples: riding a bike, using the shift stick while driving, tying your shoe laces. Why are these procedural memories implicit: you don"t have to consciously remember the steps involved in these actions to perform them, try to explain to someone how to tie a shoelace. Activation of one or more existing memories by a stimulus: activation not a conscious decision, affects subsequent thoughts &actions. Two types of priming: perceptual, conceptual. When priming stimulus influences your flow of thoughts.
