Document Summary
Short term memory (working memory)- phonological loop (patient pv), central executive, visuospatial scratchpad. Long term memory- declarative and non-declarative: declarative- episodic (hm, amnesics) and semantic conscious cue dependent specificity applies, non-declarative- skills and habits, priming, simple classical conditioning, non-associative learning (habituation) Atkinson-shiffrin model of short term memory has not been rejected. It is fundamentally correct, has just been modified. *don"t need to know about episodic buffer amnesia is result of medial temporal lobe damage (has to be both sides in order to be called amnesia: amnesia affects episodic memory, not procedural (does it affect semantic memory?) Non-declarative memory: includes visual search task- search for letter t . Amnesics, like control group, are faster at finding target for old (previously seen) displays despite not being able to remember having done it before. Classical conditioning: amnesics show normal classical conditioning when a delay conditioning procedure is used, but not when a trace procedure is used.
