Document Summary
The level or depth of processing affects memorability. Depth and elaboration increases memory self reference effect- better memory if one feels it applies to them. Commonality of process: implicit similar in most species: implicit depends on basal ganglia and striatum, learning always involves implicit and explicit learning. Declarative memory: memories that can be described: explicit memory, types. Recognition memory: familiarity or recollection: remember or know. Non declarative memory: does not involve conscious recollection, implicit memory. Schemas: allow us to form expectations, organized knowledge: rationalizations: if something doesn"t conform to societal expectations, change memory, impact of schematic knowledge increases over, priming- facilitated processing time. Perceptual priming, repeated exposures= greater speed of recognizing features. Conceptual ^ but meaning: procedural memory: knowing how. Amnesia- ltm disrupted: retrograde- lack of memory before onset of amnesia, anterograde: cant remember things after, can share episodic memories right after, amnesia effects episodic more but also semantic.
