Document Summary
To fascinate you with minds, how they work + how they are studied with the various methods in cognitive science. Supposed to make you want to learn more and make you look at everything differently. Perception: transforms things in the environment to internal representations. Action: turns desires to act into physical changes in the environment. We can describe memory as many things in cognition, at different levels of explanation. In animals, including humans, we can describe memory"s location, biologically (in the hippocampus) We can also describe if functionally (long-term + short-term) Human memory of fact + perceptions (not skills) Sensory memory: like a scratch pad (for vision), or a bit of recording tape (for hearing), that can be overwritten with new things, rewritten every few seconds by new perceptions. Short-term memory: temporary store - some things from it end up becoming long term memories. Long-memory: stored forever, might have trouble with retrieval.
