Document Summary
Chapter 6: non-declarative memory: some unconscious memories are so far removed from awareness that it"s very difficult to accurately talk about them. These are non-declarative memories: non-declarative memories are often spared in amnesia, consistent with the idea that this is a different way to remember something. Classical conditioning: classical conditioning is one of the simplest forms of memory and was discovered by ivan. Abstract structure: the basic classical conditioning paradigm starts out with a stimulus that elicits a response. The dogs began to salivate when the bell rang but before they were fed. The bell was now a cs, and the salivation was a cr. Examples with humans: the development of phobias, which are irrational fears (ex. Fear of elevators) is an example of classical conditioning. A person may have an initial experience that comes to elicit the phobia: ex. At each step the person remains at that stage until s/he doesn"t feel disturbed.
