Document Summary

Implicit and procedural memory: memory errors, memory for unique events. Episodic memories: can include particular types of time and person information, does(cid:374)"t (cid:373)ake a stro(cid:374)g disti(cid:374)(cid:272)tio(cid:374) (cid:271)et(cid:449)ee(cid:374) episodi(cid:272) a(cid:374)d se(cid:373)a(cid:374)ti(cid:272) store. Some propositions involve something that happened to me at a certain time. Fan effect: propositions with more links will be harder/take longer to remember, because activation spreads to all the outgoing links, many sentences with the same concept will result in poor memory. Long term memory: retrieval outside of conscious experience, from implicit stores. It is hard to retrieve these memories outside of the shoe - tying scenario actions to perform them. Then you have to make a decision to see if the thing you see is a word or not a word. Stimulus we see activates a pre-semantic representation system quickly. Should be able to unscramble the set of words more quickly as we go on.
