PSYC 2010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Anterograde Amnesia, Retrograde Amnesia, Explicit Memory
Document Summary
The degree to which information can be retrieved from a memory. A memory is staid to be access able if it is retrievable; memories that are not currently retrievable are said to have become inaccessible. Memory loss cued by brain damage or injury. Retrograde amnesia is loss of memory for marination before the damage, anterograde amnesia is loss of memory for information after that damage. Disruption in memory for events following the brain damage, usually a disruption in the storage of new information after brain damage. Available (in memory research) present in the memory system. information is said to be available if it is currently stored in memory (contrast with accessibility). Consolidation the more permanent establishment of memories in the neural architecture. A from of recall in which the person is presented with part of the information as a cue to retrieve the rest of the information.
