Document Summary

Instrumental conditioning (involuntary: voluntary behaviour emitted again. Memory: memory as learning (behaviourism & neuroscience, 3 processes: encoding, storage, retrieval. Improving encoding is to form visual images: active vs. passive encoding, adige situation, alligator king , enriched encoding (levels of processing) Storage: sensory, short term, long term, sensory - capacity (sterling), duration, stm - rehearsal, maintenance & elaborative, capacity (miller), chinking, semantic encoding, executive control system - maintenance rehearsal loop does not work. Ltm - sensory to stm (attention required), encoding (strategies: working memory is where visual/spatial sketch pad is. How is info encoded into ltm: echoic, iconic, semantically. Retrieval: organization, context, state dependant, source monitoring, collaborative. Multiple memory systems: declarative vs. procedural, explicit vs. implicit, episodic vs. semantic. Memory limitations (7 sins: transience, absentmindedness, blocking, memory misattribution, suggestibility, bias, persistence, declarative vs. procedural, explicit vs. implicit, episodic (events in life) vs. semantic (knowledge)
