Stages of Memory Abridged Version Working Memory Model • Visuospatial sketch pad - holds visual and spatial info • Phonological loop - holds verbal information • Central executive - coordinates all activities of working memory; brings new information into working memory from sensory and long-term memory Visuospatial Sketch pad Central Executive Phonological Loop Automatic vs. Effortful Processing • Some information, such as where you ate dinner yesterday, you process automatically. • Other information, such as this chapter's concepts, requires effort to encode and remember. Types of Effortful Processing • Maintenance Rehearsal – go over something repeatedly till it is encoded in LTM • Elaborative Rehearsal – relate the info to info you already know. – Self-reference effect – applies info to yourself. – Visual imagery – vivid images you can remember. – Levels of Processing framework – info encoded at a deeper level will be more easily remember than info encoded at a shallow level. How can you do this? (See middle of page 246). Hippocampus Cerebellum Types of LTM Explicit W/ conscious recall General Knowledge (semantic memory) Personal Events (episodic memory) Implicit No conscious recall Skills and Procedures (procedural memory) Conditioning (CC & OC) Two Types of Explicit Memory 1. Episodic information—information about events or “episodes” 2. Semantic information—information about facts, general knowledge, school work Episodic Memory • Memory tied to your own personal experiences • Examples: – What month is your birthday? – Do you like to eat caramel apples? • Q: Why are these explicit memories? • A: Because you can actively declare your answers to these questions Semantic Memory • Memory not tied to personal events • General facts and definitions about the world • Examples: – How many tires on a car? – What is a cloud? – What color is a banana? Implicit Memory • Nondeclarative memory • Influences your thoughts or behavior, but does not enter consciousness • Three subtypes Subtypes of Implicit Memory Implicit Memory Classical Conditioning Procedural Memory Priming Priming • Priming is influence of one memory on another • priming is implicit because it does not depend on awareness and is automatic • View this example from Derren Brown – with his ad agency video – 8 min Perceptual Priming • Prime enhances ability to identify a test stimulus based on its physical features • Does not work across sense modalities • Here is a demonstration Perceptual Priming • Can you identify the fragmented stimulus to the right? Perceptual Priming • What if you were shown the following slide earlier in the lecture? Clustering: Hierarchical Organization • Related items clustered together to form categories • Related categories clustered to form higherorder categories • Remember list items better if list presented in categories – poorer recall if presented randomly • Even if list items are random, people still organize info in some logical pattern Hierarchical Organization Mammals Dogs German Shepherds Scottish Terriers Cats Siamese Calico Semantic Network Model • Mental links between concepts – common properties provide basis for mental link • Shorter path between two concepts = stronger association in memory • Activating one concept can spread and activate other associations.
