PS102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Long-Term Potentiation, Episodic Memory, Procedural Memory
Document Summary
Memory is recalling past events and past learning by means of encoding, storage and retrieval. Encoding: putting information into a form the brain can understand and getting it into memory make it a way you can understand. Storage: the process of retaining memories in the brain for later use keep it ther. Information is stored and retrieved piece by piece and moves among three memory stores during encoding storage and retrieval. Memories are stored as part of large intergrated web of information and represented in the brain as a pattern of activation across entire neural networks. Sensory memory which holds everything we see hear taste touch and smell for a few seconds of less. Working memory which holds information for 30 seconds capacity is 5-9 items. Long term meory which stores information forever i. This web of memories is similar to how neurons form networks in oru brain. Automatic processing: when you automatically remember something with no effort.
