Document Summary
Patient kc: was in accident and suffered brain damage but could answer questions about facts (semantic memory) but his episodic memory was gone and he didn"t know about himself or remember when to eat. Storage: involves maintaining encoded information in memory over time. Attention: involves focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Most likely filtered, but debate is about where the filter is located and whether stimuli are screened out early (during sensory input) or late (after brain has processed meaning of input) Cocktail party phenomenon where tamara is tuned into a convo with her friend but here"s her own name in another conversation concludes that attention involves late selection based on meaning of the input. The location of our attention filter depends on the cognitive load when we are focused on complicated/high loud tasks, selection occurs early.
