 +====Ch 4. Key components of memory====
 +
 +2020-09-01
 +
 +  * Brain functions as integrated system, but useful to consider different components/ functions of memory
 +  * coding, storage, retrieval
 +  * Types
 +    * //Storage// register 2-3 s, unencoded
 + * needs attention
 +    * //Working (short-term) memory//, 7 numbers/4 items, 30s
 +    * //LT memory//: limitless
 +    * declarative vs procedures (+/- conditional) knowledge
 +  * Central executive - in pre-frontal cortex as "manager"
 +  * There is also "implicit" learning vs "explicit":
 +    * apples / apricots more common
 +    * horses found in field/ shops
 +
 +  * self-strategies: focus on need to know vs nice to know; attention
 +  * instruction: keep attention
 +
 +====Ch 6 Remembering, Forgetting, misremembering====
 +
 +  * Long term memory - size is large BUT
 +  * Retrieval is one problem
 +    * retrieval cues - internal vs external
 +    * context is important
 +  * Semantic vs episodic memory
 +  * Decay - if not used
 +  * Reconstruction when retrieving memory - may be "misremembering"
 +  * "Prospective memory" -- need to remember sometime at some specific time
 +  * Interference e.g. capital of Turkey
 +  * "incubate a problem"
 +
