Document Summary
Capgras syndrome- patient has complete accurate memories of the bast but no sense at all of familiarity (faces of family members of friends) demend imposters. An example showing the independent nature of source memory and familiarity. Detectors: like memory nodes, receive their activation from other detectors; they can accumulate activation from different inputs to reach threshold and fire. Network of detectors might function in object recognition. Oliphant (1983): show pattern of repetition priming via lexical decisions. Semantic priming words are related in meaning. Learning involves the creation or strengthening of connections . Memory a vast network of ideas : building neural pathways, rebuilding/reactivating that same pathway: ltp. Acquire (encoding) new information ( input info into a computer ) Retrieval- bring memory into active use (2 forms of retrieval) Recall presented a retrieval cue, we then come up with the information on our own. Can you remember the words to that song? .
