Long Term Memory

Cards (29)

  • What model of memory was introduced in the previous video?
    Multi store model of memory
  • How is long-term memory coded?
    It is coded semantically
  • What type of memory is muscle memory classified as?
    Procedural memory
  • What are the three types of long-term memory?
    Semantic, procedural, and episodic
  • How can we define the three types of long-term memory?
    • Semantic: Knowledge about the world
    • Procedural: Skills and muscle memory
    • Episodic: Memories of personal events
  • What distinguishes declarative memories from non-declarative memories?
    Declarative can be put into words
  • What is procedural memory also known as?
    Muscle memory
  • How are episodic memories stored in relation to time?
    They are time-stamped
  • How are semantic memories stored in relation to time?
    They are not time-stamped
  • How are procedural memories stored in relation to time?
    They are not time-stamped
  • How can episodic and semantic memories be recalled?
    Consciously
  • How are procedural memories recalled?
    Unconsciously
  • What type of memories are autobiographical?
    Episodic memories
  • Which type of memory is easiest to forget?
    Episodic memories
  • Which type of memory is most resistant to forgetting?
    Procedural memories
  • What influences the strength of episodic memories?
    Level of emotion felt when coded
  • What affects the strength of semantic memories?
    How deeply information is processed
  • What affects the strength of procedural memories?
    How much practice has been done
  • Which brain region is associated with episodic memory coding?
    Prefrontal cortex
  • Which brain region is associated with semantic memory?
    Parahippocampal cortex
  • Which brain regions are associated with procedural memory?
    Motor cortex and cerebellum
  • What does the research by Vagara Kadim suggest about episodic and semantic memories?
    They are separate processes
  • What is the significance of Clive Wearing's case study?
    It shows separate types of long-term memory
  • What is a limitation of clinical case studies in memory research?
    Findings may not generalize to others
  • What do modern cognitive neuroscience studies use to investigate memory?
    PET and fMRI scanners
  • What is a reason to argue against clear-cut separation of memory types?
    Episodic memories can become semantic over time
  • How are procedural and semantic memories connected?
    Automatic language production links them
  • What are the key differences between episodic, semantic, and procedural memories?
    • Episodic: Time-stamped, autobiographical, easy to forget
    • Semantic: Not time-stamped, knowledge of facts, resistant to forgetting
    • Procedural: Not time-stamped, skills, very resistant to forgetting
  • What is the next topic to be discussed in the following video?
    Working memory model
