+ | |||
+ | * 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 " | ||
+ | * There is also " | ||
+ | * apples / apricots more common | ||
+ | * horses found in field/ shops | ||
+ | |||
+ | * self-strategies: | ||
+ | * instruction: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Ch 6 Remembering, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * 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 " | ||
+ | * " | ||
+ | * Interference e.g. capital of Turkey | ||
+ | * " | ||
