PSYC100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Temporal Lobe, Forgetting Curve, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Atkinson and shi rin"s model (diagram from last notes) Retrieving memory into working memory moves back into long-term memory (reconsolidating) Reconsolidation process is why memories can change over time (altered) Less accurate info given on something already known and reconsolidate wrong info and change memory. Strengthen memory and make understanding better, deeper, more accurate. Explicit memory ex: knowing the letters on a keyboard by saying the letters out loud. Implicit memory motor memory ex: being able to type without looking on a keyboard. If you don"t think about the information again. Something already study (older info, already known) -> interferes with the ability to remember newer info. New information interferes with ability to remember old information. Studying anthropology causes loss of info from psych. This interference is worst when we cram in a short period of time. Distributed practice, studying spread out in small pockets (interferences are minimized)
