Document Summary

3 types of short term memory: phonological loop: auditory information, episodic buffer: integrates auditory and visual information, visual - spatial sketchpad: visual and spatial information (colors and shape, long term memory. Implicit memory (non deliberate: occurs unintentionally, automatically, and without awareness, procedural memory- skills and procedures, often remains intact with amnesia, explicit memory (deliberate, effortful collection of events e. g. exams, easy to forget with amnesia. Specific experiences: neural bases of memory, retrograde amnesia, cant remember things prior to an incident, anterograde amnesia, no longer able to form new memories e. g hm, damage to hippocampus. Leads to significant impairment in creating episodic memory: vocabulary stored in the limbic- temporal cortex, limbic system, crucial to memory. Lots of parts of the brain help form memory: problem solving. Stick out your tongue- they will imitate you: as young as 6 months display deferred imitation, habituation.
