Document Summary

Neural network model or parallel distributed processing: new facts are not disconnected and independent. Notes 6: new experiences provide specific information and also become part of, and alter, a (cid:449)hole (cid:374)et(cid:449)ork of asso(cid:272)iatio(cid:374)s i(cid:374) a perso(cid:374)"s o(cid:448)erall k(cid:374)o(cid:449)ledge base. Info must pass through three types of memory in order to be fully embedded in memory. Sensory registers- large capacity, separate register for each sense. Chunks info and lasts up to about 18 seconds. People remember between 5 to 9 items. Permanent storage of info that is adequately rehearsed. Encoding- semantic (meaning: declarative memory- facts, data, events, procedural- how to do things, episodic- personal experiences, semantic- general factual info. Congruence of internal state at encoding and retrieval influences memory (mood: context dependent memories. Memories helped or hindered by similarities of differences between the environmental contexts in which they are learned and recalled: encoding specificity.
