Document Summary
Associative network a massive network of associated ideas and concepts: priming activation of one concept by another (e. g. fire engine primes the node for red ) Neural network each concept is represented by a particular pattern or set of nodes that becomes activated simultaneously. Declarative involves factual knowledge, broken into two subcategories: Episodic memory store of factual knowledge concerning personal experience. Semantic memory general factual knowledge about the world and language, including words and concepts. Procedural memory reflected in skills and actions. One component consists of skills involved in doing things in particular situations. Explicit involves conscious or intentional memory retrieval. Implicit occurs when memory influences our behaviour without conscious awareness (e. g. riding a bike, driving) Retrieval cue any stimulus (internal or external) that stimulates the activation of information stored in long-term memory: multiple self-generated cues is most effective way to maximize recall.
