PSYA01H3 Lecture Notes - Echoic Memory, Sensory Memory, Episodic Memory
Document Summary
Slide 2: memory we think of is more episodic memory (ex. ), in which you consciously recreate an image what happened at that time. This is only one of many memory systems, and should therefore be seen as a multiple instead of singular. The past experience can be an influence, and memory is reinforcing that influence. Slide 3: if you start with a+b=3, you decide if it"s true or false and see if that rule you think is followed throughout. Eventually you get faster and figure out an algorithmic problem solving. A little while later, you see examples that reappear, and you will then solely rely on memory on the repeating questions. Slide 4: memory can be broken down into several systems. Sensory memory- a stimulus from the environment first comes into contact with this memory. Slide 5: when a light enters your eyes, you can still see it a little after it"s gone- it"s a trace.
