Document Summary

Thing that allow our knowledge to be well structured can sometimes enable us to inflate things, confuse things, or falsely remember things. Kinds of memory that are closely connected to the perceptual aspects of that memory. Don"t depend on perception, our knowledge about concepts and features and facts might not have a perceptual quality tied to it --> like how we do math maybe, or remembering your address. All info is represented in terms that are modality specific and mostly perceptual. If you are trying to remember a specific sound, you remember things about that sound and activate areas of the brain that are active when you perceive that sound. Information is represented in combined verbal and visual codes. Our memory for a birthday cake for example would include the words birthday cake, and activate areas of the brain that we think of when we look at a cake.
