DANCEST 805 Lecture Notes - Lecture 28: Knowledge Retrieval, Episodic Memory, Motor Skill
Document Summary
Persisting information acquired over the course of experience. Episodic and semantic: episodic memory is improved by elaborating on the meaning. Everything below this table is on declarative/ episodic memory. Unconscious memories which reveal themselves in behaviour (e. g. acquisition of a motor skill) Forms of nondeclarative memory: priming, skill learning, cognitive stage, associative stage, autonomous stage. Learning gradual and incremental: habits, conditioned learning. Influenced by: degree to which we attend to information, encoding is by-product of attending, degree to which we elaborate on information. Interpreting information: connecting information, repetitive thoughts about it, conscious retrieval, spaced-out practice. Learning can also be incidental and a by-product of another action. Transfer appropriate processing: the extent to which we can later retrieve information relates to the overlap between the processing used to retrieve and used to encode. Modification of representations in memory so that they become stable . Memories exist independently of medial temporal lobes.
