Ta b l e o f C o n t e n t s
-Hierarchy of memory, too complex, we make use of the same neurons for patterns
with subsystems for different functions
Explicit memory/ declarative
-You can tell these memories
-Faster, more efficient, no control
Implicit memory/
-How your brain tells your muscles how to do
-You can't tell the specific associations and patterns of conditioning
-Memory of motor movement
-Information is slower, less efficient, more control
Long-Term Memory
-The memory system involved in the long-term storage of information
-Split into declarative memory and implicit
-Declarative memory split into episodic memory and semantic memory
-Implicit memory split into procedural memory (motor memory like star drawing),
classical conditioning, and cognitive associations (ex. Priming)
How do we keep all this information organized so we can function in the world?
-Through networks of associations, conceptualization of organization of information,
we turn each of these notes into pattern and any given piece of neuron can be
recruited into many different patterns

Document Summary
Hierarchy of memory, too complex, we make use of the same neurons for patterns with subsystems for different functions. How your brain tells your muscles how to do. You can"t tell the speci c associations and patterns of conditioning. Information is slower, less ef cient, more control. The memory system involved in the long-term storage of information. Declarative memory split into episodic memory and semantic memory. Implicit memory split into procedural memory (motor memory like star drawing), classical conditioning, and cognitive associations (ex. Through networks of associations, conceptualization of organization of information, we turn each of these notes into pattern and any given piece of neuron can be recruited into many different patterns. Priming effects happen because memories are meaningful overlapping patterns if neural activity (not nodes). We increase the accessibility of the other patterns. This optimizes the ef ciency with which ex can retrieve information. And therefore, enables the fast, adaptive functioning of our brains.
