Types of Long Term Memory

Cards (26)

  • 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 does semantic memory involve?
    Storing information according to its meaning
  • 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 semantic, procedural, and episodic memory?
    • Semantic memory: Knowledge about the world
    • Procedural memory: Unconscious skills (muscle memory)
    • Episodic memory: Memories of personal events
  • What distinguishes declarative memories from non-declarative memories?
    Declarative can be put into words
  • How are procedural memories characterized?
    They are non-declarative and implicit
  • What is the significance of timestamps in memory?
    Episodic memories are time-stamped
  • How do episodic and semantic memories differ in terms of recall?
    Episodic can be recalled consciously
  • What is the emotional influence on episodic memory strength?
    Emotion affects the strength of episodic memories
  • Which brain region is associated with episodic memory coding?
    Prefrontal cortex
  • What does the research by Vagara Kadim suggest about episodic and semantic memories?
    They are separate processes using different brain regions
  • What condition did Clive Wearing suffer from?
    Retrograde amnesia
  • What can Clive Wearing still recall despite his amnesia?
    Semantic memories and procedural skills
  • What is a limitation of clinical case studies in memory research?
    Findings may not generalize to healthy people
  • What do modern cognitive neuroscience studies use to investigate memory?
    PET and fMRI scanners
  • How do episodic and semantic memories relate over time?
    Episodic can become semantic memories
  • What is the connection between procedural and semantic memory?
    Automatic language production links them
  • What are the differences between declarative and non-declarative memories?
    • Declarative: Can be expressed in words
    • Non-declarative: Cannot be expressed in words
    • Declarative includes episodic and semantic memories
    • Non-declarative includes procedural memories
  • What is the purpose of the psych boost workbook mentioned?
    To cover all compulsory units
  • What is the significance of the phrase "it's like riding a bike"?
    It indicates procedural memory's resistance to forgetting
  • What is the role of the hippocampus in memory?
    It connects different types of memory processes
  • How do case studies contribute to understanding long-term memory?
    They allow in-depth investigation of memory
  • What should you do if asked to discuss differences between long-term memory types?
    Pick a few key differences to discuss
  • What is the next topic to be discussed in the following video?
    The Working memory model
