Document Summary
Review of template matching: theory for object recognition, match some object in the world to your file from the, criticisms. Computationally intractable: memory issue too many templates or different orientations an object can have, different types of that one object that still fall under the one categorization of the original object (ie various types of apples) Generalizability: hard to classify a general or rare instance, never seen a specific bird type so hard to classify. Memory types: procedural knowledge in completing an action. Unconscious memory, implicit something you just do ie riding a bike or driving to school (don"t really think about it: declarative knowledge in knowing a fact. Explicitly measured, like knowing trivia ie verbalizing how to ride a bike listing out step by step what you do. Evidence from h. m: had severe epilepsy, performed surgery in medial temporal lobe supposedly where memories are, known for having anterograde amnesia cannot form new memories after his surgery.
