NEUR 3200 Study Guide - Final Guide: Long-Term Memory, Explicit Memory, Procedural Memory
Document Summary
Module 29: memory: learning- acquisition of new information by the nervous system. Memory- encoding, storage and retrieval of learned information: understand the difference between working memory and long-term memory. Working memory (short-term memory)- involves holding and manipulating information for seconds to minutes. There"s limited duration and capacity. to avoid forgetting, information must be continuously reactivated by rehearsal. Long-term memory- involves different neural systems to short-term memory. Information can potentially be expressed with language involves information about a specific event at a specific time & place. Example: remembering details about a specific driving lesson. Example: improved driving ability, as a result of taking a specific driving lesson. Non declarative memory can be divided into 4 categories: priming is a change in processing of a stimulus due to a previous unconscious encounter with the same or similar stimulus. Sensitization: enhanced response after a strong stimulus: be familiar with classical conditioning and operant conditioning classical (pavlovian) conditioning-association forms between two or more stimuli.
