Amnesia & Hippocampus
This type of amnesia impairs your ability to create new long-term memories
What is Anterograde Amnesia?
Remembering a larger piece of information by breaking it into pieces and memorizing those individually (for example, phone numbers)
What is Chunking?
Its the persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information
What is Memory?
Pertains to how to do something, Ex: Riding a bike.
What is Procedural Memory?
Sensory memory has what two parts
What is Iconic and Echoic memory?
This type of amnesia affects your ability to remember previously experienced events
What is Retrograde Amnesia?
Using gaps in your studying in shorter increments rather than one long study session
What is Spacing Effect?
Items in this memory process will last 15-20 seconds, unless rehearsed, and it has a limited capacity (7 things +/- 2 items)
What is Working Memory?
Pertains to specific events or episodes, Ex: childhood memories.
What is Episodic Memory?
The visual part of sensory memory (images and icons), it only lasts about 2-3 seconds. It creates and stores visual sensory information.
What is Iconic memory?
What are the two types of amnesias
What is Retrograde and Anterograde Amnesia?
Recall improves with repeated retrieval and rehearsal of new material.
What is Testing Effect?
Items in this memory process can last a lifetime and have unlimited capacity.
What is Long-Term Memory?
Pertains to specific facts or concepts, Ex: Your birthday or your name.
What is Semantic Memory?
The auditory part of sensory memory (echos and sounds), it only last about 2-3 seconds. It creates and stores audio sensory information.
What is Echoic memory?
Explicit memories for facts and episodes are processed here and fed to other brain regions for storage
What is the Hippocampus?
Memory demonstrated by time saved when learning material for a second time
What is Relearning?
Sensory Input to Sensory Memory, Encoding to Working Memory (short term), Maintenance Rehearsal to keep the information, more Encoding to Long Term Memory, and Retrieval.
What is the Information Processing Model?
What are the 3 categories of Long-term Memory
What is Episodic, Semantic, and Procedural?
(BONUS FOR EVERYONE) Encoding failure, Storage decay, Retrieval failure, and Reconciliation cause what?
What is Memory Errors?
