Document Summary
Most information you forget is forgotten rather quickly. Within 20 minutes remembering 58% of a list, 31 days remember 21% of a list. Tend to recall first items on list and last items on the list, stuff in- between you forget. Attention: process of selectively focusing on particular stimuli. If you pay attention to something: stimulus may enter explicit memory. If not paying attention to something: stimulus may enter implicit memory. Sperling"s experiment for whole report or partial report. Flash image, then play tone high/middle/low, ask either. Chunking: combine small elements into a greater whole (319)- 335- 0509= 10 digits (cid:887) (cid:887) (cid:888) = 6 (cid:498)bits(cid:499) of information. If can do both separate pathways involved. Different places in the brain may store different kinds of long term memories. Memory never advanced after surgery (lived back in time) Henry molaison is an example of anterograde amnesia because he can"t form new episodic memories.
