Document Summary
Test taking and similar context of rooms. Use of imagery and mental time travel . Name everything you need to buy at the market. You see a tomato and decide whether it was on your list. Yes you learn things faster a second time. Knowing how to do something, but you don"t know how to do it. Future events; reminding yourself you need to do something in the future. Facts (and things you know about the world) Eg who was the first us president? . Show a word once, you are faster to read it the second time. Reas nurse, faster to read doctor cuz it"s associated. Future events are a form of episodic memory. Damage to the hippocampus causes one not to create new memories. If he took a part of the brain out and the rat couldn"t do the maze anymore then that"s where the memory" was.
