Document Summary

Storage: the process if retaining encoded information over time. Retrieval: the process if getting information out of memory storage. Explicit memory system: the frontal lobes and hippocampus. Hippocampus: a neural center located in the limbic system; helps process explicit memories for storage. Memory consolidation: the neural storage of a long-term memory. Implicit memory system: the cerebellum and basal ganglia. Cerebellum- control reflexes and coordination- with a damaged cerebellum people cannot develop certain conditioned reflexes (unable to learn a conditioned response). Basal ganglia- deep brain structures involved in motor movement, facilitate formation of our procedural memories for skills. Receives input from the cortex. (learning how to ride a bike). Flashbulb memory: a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event. Ltp (long-term potentiation): an increase in a cell"s firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory. Priming: the activation, often unconsciously, of particular association in memory.
