Classical Conditioning (an example of implicit memory) Ivan Pavlov
Implicit Memory: Pavlovian Associative Conditioning Conditioned Stimulus Unconditioned Response
Implicit Memory: Fear Conditioning TRAINING CONTEXTUAL TEST CUED TEST Animal is placed in novel context Hears a tone Receives foot shock Animal is returned to same context Test for freezing behavior Animal is placed in modified context
Implicit memory: Conditioned Taste Aversion DAY 1 B 1.0 1st Exposure to Food Item 0.8 0.6 grams blueberry bar 0.4 Injection of LiCl or NaCl 0.2 DAY 2 0.0 LiCl NaCl Grams Ingested on 2nd Exposure (LiCl treated group compared to NaCl treated control) 2nd Exposure to Food Item
Implicit Memory: Neophobia DAY 1 1st Exposure to Food Item 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1st intake 2nd intake grams blueberry bar DAY 2 2nd Exposure to Food Item Grams Ingested (1st exposure compared to second exposure)

(keep the words in mind!) Wait for 1 minute (keep the words in mind!)
Write down the words in sequence Did anyone get all 10 right?
By testing subjects after various delays Ebbinghaus developed the concept of short-term and long term memory Sensory Information Working Memory/Short term Memory (Minutes) Long Term Memory (Hours/Days/Years)
