Storage Memory

1
Storage Memory

• By Marley Jennings, Ashley Lyon, Victoria
  Abramson, and Sarah Stern

1
2
Implicit Memory

• retention without conscious recollection
• also called procedural memory
• ex remembering how to brush your teeth you
  dont have to think about it when youre doing it

3
Explicit Memory

• memory of facts and experiences that one can
  consciously know and declare
• also called declarative memory
• ex recalling things to write in a paper

4
Short-Term Memory/Working Memory

• Unlike Long-term memory, short-term memory is
  limited in duration and capacity.
• Lloyd Peterson and Margret Peterson studied the
  lifespan of stm.
• Magic Number 7 2. George Miller said that we
  have a memory span of 7 digits (plus or minus 2)

5
Long-Term Memory

• Our capacity for long-term memory is limitless.
• On average, an adult stores a billion bits of
  information in long-term memory
• Through the processes of association and
  rehearsal short-term memory can become a
  long-term memory

6
Flashbulb Memory

• A clear memory of an emotionally significant
  moment or event

7
Hippocampus

• A neural center located in the limbic system
• Helps process explicit memories (memories of
  facts and experiences)
• Temporary processing site for memories
• One of the last brain structures to mature

8
Cerebellum

• The pathway connecting the brains reception of
  the tone with the blink response runs to the
  brainstem through a part of the cerebellum
• Psychologists were able to pinpoint implicit
  memory
• Human patients with a damaged cerebellum are
  likewise incapable of eye blink conditioning

9
Sensory Memory

• Def The fleeting sensory impression left by
  stimuli such as light, sound, taste, touch, and
  smell.
• Automatic response
• Information is stored for a very brief amount of
  time, essentially lost after time is up
• Cannot be prolonged via rehearsal

10
Examples of Sensory Memory
11

• Do you remember the 6 shapes on the previous
  slide?

12
Handy Dandy Mnemonic Device

• Stimulus
• Enters
• No
• Storage
• Or
• Recall
• Yet

13
INFANTILE AMNESIA
14
Infantile Amnesia

• Def The inability to recall ones earliest
  memories.
• Hippocampus and frontal lobes are still
  developing- storage of memories is less efficient.

15
My Personal Example

• My brother was born when I was two years old.
  That day, my grandma took me to a doll museum. I
  remember being scared of the cracked faces of the
  dolls, but because of infantile amnesia, I have
  no memory of meeting my baby brother.

Memory Strategies Used

• Implicit and Explicit Memory Slides
• -visual encoding (images of brushing teeth and
  writing a paper)
• -self-reference effect (both actions are things
  that every student has done and can relate to)
• Through association and rehearsal, our short-term
  can turn into long-term memory.
• Studying beforehand, on assignments can give your
  brain the time and recognition it needs to
  convert your memories
