PSY 0010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Encoding Specificity Principle, Anterograde Amnesia, Retrograde Amnesia
Document Summary
Anterograde amnesia can"t make new memories. Hippocampus and frontal lobe: one memories are established the frontal takes over, hippocampus forms memories. Henry molaison hm: had seizures, frontal lobe and hippocampus were removed. Couldn"t for explicit memories but could not form implicit memories. Consolidation: the process by which memories become stable in the brain: rem sleep important for implicit memory, slow wave important for explicit memories. Reconsolidation: memories can become vulnerable to disruption when they are recalled, requiring them to become consolidated again: memory can change, every time you pull up a memory, you can change it a little bit. We use environment and other types of ques to remember things. The state at which things are happening in affects how well we can remember things. Explicit memory (with conscious recall) implicit memory (without conscious recall) Semantic memory episodic memory procedural memory priming (facts and general knowledge) (personally experienced events) Jill can remember everything explicitly hyperthalmasia, excessive memory.
