PSY 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Anterograde Amnesia, Retrograde Amnesia, Episodic Memory
Document Summary
Context-dependent memory: remembering more simuli in the same context. Personal experiences are an example of episodic memory. Anterograde amnesia: can"t form new memories ater brain injury. Retrograde amnesia: can"t recall old memories ater brain injury. An example of shaping is kids geing poty-trained get lots of candy at irst as moivaion, then less candy, and inally just internal praise moivates them. Without rehearsal, the duraion of stm is about 20 seconds. Food is an example of a primary enforcer (what you need to survive) and money is a secondary reinforce (everything else) Usually when you stop enforcing a behavior, the person doing it increases it at irst (maybe i"m not doing enough) then it stops. Ex: a kid whining to get candy at the store will throw a tantrum when his mom stops leing him get candy, then stop. More examples ixed-raio: geing paid for every 3 dresses you sew.
