Document Summary
Removal of temporal lobes -> no ability to form new long term memory. Important for declarative memory but less important for implicit processes (classical conditioning, for learning etc) Basic stages of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory. Sensory information= light, smell, orders (these leave traces in nerve system) Sensory memory= from sensory information, stored briefly in its original sensory form. Hold information no longer than 20seconds (disappears unless prevent from happening) Meaningful units easier to remember (chunking: aptuthi-> apt- ut- hi) Active processing system that keep information available so later can use for problem solving, reasoning& explanation. 3 components: central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad. Coach over interactions between subsystem and ltm. Encode information from sensory & filters information that is important enough to be in ltm. Is active whenever read, speak/repeat words to remember. Working memory (words stored by how it sounds, not meaning) Process visual information (object features & locations)
