Document Summary
Psy100h1 - lecture 12 - emotions and motivation. The memory system is involved in the long-term storage of information. The long-term memory is split into two types (their storage and retrieval processes differs) Things that we can declare, slow, have more control. It is largely associated to the shiffrin-atkinson model. Cannot declare, implicitly conditioned, no limits, fast, have little to no control. Cannot explain motor movements (tell you how brain tells muslce to tie shoes) Shiffrin-atkinson model is not accurate for implicit memory. Semantically similar nodes are closer to unrelated nodes. An unambiguous stimuli is filled up with more accessible information (ex. Thinking bird, and words associated with bird filled mind such as wings, fly, feathers) Priming effects happen because our memories are meaningful overlapping patterns of neural firing (not actually nodes" in a network of associations). As we access one pattern, we increase the accessibility of the other patterns.
