Document Summary
Vareity of memory systems that are memory is not a unitary phenomenon subserved by a number of different neural systems within the brain. Existence of multiple memory systems might account for these apparent discrepencies in how we describe memory. [d] learning = relatively permanent change in behaviour as a function of experience. Typically demonstrated: (a) by having organism demonstrate change in behaviour as a result of experience or (b) showing that organism recalls or remembers these experiences and changes its behaviour accordingly. Learning and memory are two sides of the same coin. Experimenters watch behaviour and infer that someone is learning or remembering on the basis of what the person does. Learning and memory depend critically on each other. Way some researchers have suggested to make division between learning and memory. With [d] encoding = attending to the information and [d] Consolidation = storing the memory for later use.
