The Biology of Memory Psychology, Unit 5

Today’s Objectives 1.Define consolidation 2.Be able to answer “How are memories formed?” 3.Know how hormones can affect memory 4.Describe how practice helps/hinders memory 5.Distinguish where various types of memories are stored.

How are Memories formed? By the process of consolidation: changing of neurons >practice=stronger neurons=better memory <practice=deterioration of neurons=no memory ***DENDRITES MAKE NEURONS STRONG***

Where are Memories Stored? All over the brain Different areas are specialized for specific memory recall STM seem to be in frontal and temporal lobes LTM seem to be in cortical/subcortical structures, but semantic and episodic seem to be in frontal & temporal lobes

Exit Ticket 1.Define consolidation 2.How are memories formed? 3.How can cortisol and epinephrine affect memory 4.Describe the impact of practice on neurons 5.Distinguish where various types of memories are stored.
