1. 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 don’t have to think about it when you’re 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 brain’s 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 one’s 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.

16. 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
