At what point/s does encoding happen according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin multi store model?
To move information from sensory to short term memory AND from short term to long term memory
The process of moving information from long term memory to short term memory is called
Retrieval
Name the specific memory store that has the shortest duration
Iconic sensory memory
Provide a clear example of procedural memory
eg. Riding a bike, surfing, using chopsticks, skateboarding
State the capacity of each of the three main memory systems
Sensory unlimited, Short term 5-9, Long term unlimited
On the board draw a diagram to show the categories of long term memory
Must clearly show implicit (procedural and CC) and explicit (episodic and semantic)
In regards to driving a manual car outline the role of three long term memory stores
eg. Procedural (changing gears), Episodic (personal experiences of driving in past), Semantic (road rules), Classical conditioning (appropriate association)
Outline the role of the hippocampus in long term memory
Encoding new explicit long term memories
Describe one similarity and one difference between the cerebellum and basal ganglia
eg. Similarity (both involved in implicit/procedural LTM, both movement), Difference (location, basal ganglia role in habits/sequences of movements)
Describe what may occur to someones LTM if they have damage to the neocortex
Inability to recall previously stored LTM (particularly explicit)
Charlee steps on a snake. Outline the relationship between two key brain areas in encoding this event.
Amygdala is activiated due to strong emotional component. This signals to hippocampus which leads to deeper encoding.
How are the hippocampus and neocortex similar in terms of type of LTM? And different in terms of role?
Similar - both explicit LTM. Difference - hippocampus is encoding wheras neocortex is storage
Describe the symptoms of someone with hippocamal damage?
Unable to form new explicit LTM
Outline how short term memory interacts with sensory memory and long term memory when playing this game
Short term memory receives and encodes info from STM. Answers to questions are retrieved from LTM into STM.are retrieved
Perry is repeatedly sprayed with a water gun after the word 'hat' & is fearful & starts flinching to the word alone.. Outline the role of four brain areas in this scenario.
Hippocamppus - encoding explicit info, amygdala - encoding emotional component, neocortex - storing explicit, cerebellum - encoding CC reflexes
