Document Summary
Psy372h1 human memory: study note for test #2 (ss2105) Ltm: (declarative memory / explicit) [episodic/semantic] / (non-declarative memory / implicit) [procedural {basal ganglia} /priming {neurocortex} / classical conditioning {amygdala/cerebellum}] Non-declarative memory: changes in the behavior, rather than remembering the exact information; Any form of memory that doesn"t require conscious access; awareness is not needed; Indirect tests of memory: learning without consciousness, and also not asked to think back to previous learning (measures the response time) Three broad categories of non-declarative memory: classical conditioning cs to cr: simplest form of memory; conditioned = learned = memory. No memory representation; stimulus triggers response (often reflexive); steak-salivation; Stimulus-response associations: the stimulus is directly associated with the response. Stimulus-stimulus associations: the cs is directly associated with memory representations of the us; acquired through contiguity learning (time) or contingency learning (cause and effect inference) Latent inhibition: repeatedly presenting the cs alone before forming its associations with the us impairs the capacity to condition cs.
