MARKET 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Cerebellum, False Memory Syndrome, Working Memory
Document Summary
Memory is a process with a place" in the brain. Sensory information gets put into a usable form, e. g. by transduction of airborne vibrations into neural messages. Encoding varies depending on which memory storage system. Information is held for a different length of time depending on system. Model of memory in which memory processes are proposed to take place at the same time over a large network of neural connections. Model of memory that assumes the processing of information for memory storage is like the way a computer processes memory in a series of 3 stages. Assumes information that is more deeply processed", rather than just by sound or physical characteristics, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer time. First stage of memory, raw sensory information is held briefly. Iconic sensory memory: eidetic as a rare occurrence where someone can access visual memories over a longer time, echoic sensory memory, auditory.
