Document Summary
7. 3 difference the subtypes of long-term memory: semantic memory tends to activate the left frontal cortex more than the right frontal cortex and vise versa for episodic memory. Like in a class room when the teacher is calling upon all the kinds in the class. In children, biological maturity is a better estimator of memory capacity than age: younger children tend to overestimate their memory and older child have a better gauge on their ability to recall. Sensory memory: brief storage of perceptual information before it is passed to short-term memory. Short-term memory: memory system that retains information for limited durations. Decay: fading of information from memory over time. Interference: loss of information from memory because of competition from additional information. Retroactive interference: interference with retention of old information due to acquisition of information proactive interference: interference with acquisition of new information due to previous learning of information.
