Document Summary

Cerebellum largely houses procedural memories like how to ride a bike. Prefrontal cortex puts things together, self memories of personal experiences. We can damage one while leaving other one intact. Semantic memory system: general knowledge ex: lincoln gave gettysburg address ex:first kiss. Episodic memory system: dated recollection of personal experiences. Nondeclarative memory system: actions; perceptual motor skills, conditioned reflexes, emotional memories ex: riding a bike.

Morpheme: combine 2 or more phoneme to convey particular meaning. S t r e y n j. Phrase (2 or more words): the strangers. Sentence: the strangers talked to the players. Language acquisition device, at birth allows us to learn any language in a window of time (critical period)
