- Lecture 9 - Components of Memory pt.2
- The modal model (1968)
- Input
- Sensory registers: Visual Auditory Haptic
- Short-term store (STS) control processes: rehearsal, coding, decisions, retrieval strategies
- Response output
- Long-term store (LTS): permanent memory store
- Short-term store (STS) control processes: rehearsal, coding, decisions, retrieval strategies
- Sensory registers: Visual Auditory Haptic
- Input
- Procedural vs. declarative LTM
- Patients with anterograde amnesia have drastically impaired ability to form new memories for experienced events and facts
- But can exhibit normal learning rates in acquisition of:
- perceptual & practical skills
- problem solving skills
- conditioning of eye-blink reflex
- perceptuo-motor skils e.g. mirror drawing
- Brain damage can also cause deficits in procedural memory, without impairing declarative memory
- Double dissociation
- Episodic vs. semantic memory
- Episodic memory:
- memory for individual autobiographical experiences - re-experiencing though "mental time travel"
- Semantic memory:
- general and conceptual knowledge abstracted from experience
- what famous people look like
- names of things
- who is related to whom
- general and conceptual knowledge abstracted from experience
- Episodic memory:
- The modal model (1968)
