PSYC100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Procedural Memory, Long-Term Memory, Prefrontal Cortex
Document Summary
Encoding information coded and put into memory. Types of memory codes: acoustic - sounds, visual - images. Episodic: memory for specific events in your life. Semantic: memory for general knowledge of the world. E. g. , who is the prime minister of australia. Procedural: memory of how to do things. Levels of processing model crail and lockhart (1972: maintenance rehearsal repeating information to keep it active in short-term memory. Elaborative rehearsal relate new information to existing information stored in long-term memory and deeper processing more likely to remember information. Incidental memory ps presented with information but unaware memory will be later tested. Structural processing (visual) less processing than phonemic (sound), which is less than semantic (meaning) Recall greatest for semantically encoded words and least for structurally processed words. Transfer-appropriate processing model: match between encoding and retrieval process important, d"ydewalle and rosselle (cid:894)1(cid:1013)(cid:1011)(cid:1012)(cid:895, believe mcq exam but given short-answer exam performance decreases (vice versa)
