PSY372H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Cellular Differentiation, Procedural Memory, Episodic Memory
Document Summary
Title: reconstructive processes of memory, not video recorder; more creative. Source memory: where learning had first taken place; different features of the memory, ex. Capital of france; reading from encyclopedia or someone told you that in grade 5: spatial and temporal context. 2: attribute and judgement to the origin of the memory, automatic: quickly retrieve, controlled: engage in more slow controlled processing before deciding on the source. Reality monitoring: what"s happening on the outside vs. inside, what you"re thinking and what"s going on in your environment, what you thought and what you said out loud, schizophrenia: people have difficulty determining internal vs. external source. Cryptomnesia: memory bias: have amnesia where they came up with some idea, they thought they generated a fact, but someone else did; absorbing information but not conceptualizing it and coming up with where the source comes from.
