3750:100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Long-Term Memory, Sensory Memory, Blackboard
Document Summary
Building memories memory- learning that is retained over time through the storage and retrieval of information recall- not consciously aware of info, but info was learned at one point. Similar to a computer le typing input - encoding saving a le- storage opening a le retrieval. Roy g biv- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. We chunk telephone numbers sensory > short term > long term memory sensory memory- immediate, initial recording of sensory information iconic memory- visual echoic memory- auditory short term memory- limited in duration and capacity. Lasts only for a few seconds if not rehearsed long term memory- synaptic changes long term potentiation- increase in a synapse"s ring potential after brief, rapid stimulation neural basis for learning and memory strong emotions = stronger memories. Some stress hormones boost learning and retention explicit memory (declarative)- facts and experiences that one can consciously know and declare implicit memory (procedural)- retention without conscious recollection.
