Bell Work What is the difference between episodic and semantic memory?

Bell Work Yesterday’s Closure: Create an analogy for the three-box/information processing model for sensory, working, and long-term memory OR encoding, storage, and retrieval. Explain your analogy

Episodic “is the memory of autobiographical events (times, places, emotions, and other contextual who, what, when, where, why knowledge) that can be explicitly stated.” Semantic (generic memory) is of “meanings understandings, and other concept-based knowledge” that isn’t autobiographical.

Objective Students will analyze the memory model.

Storage and Retrieval STM is stored and retrieved sequentially. For example, if a group of participants are given a list of words to remember, and then asked to recall the fourth word on the list, participants go through the list in the order they heard it in order to retrieve the information. LTM is stored and retrieved by association. This is why you can remember what you went upstairs for if you go back to the room where you first thought about it.

Organization Organizing information can help aid retrieval.  You can organize information in sequences (such as alphabetically, by size or by time).  Imagine a patient being discharged form hospital whose treatment involved taking various pills at various times, changing their dressing and doing exercises. If the doctor gives these instructions in the order which they must be carried out throughout the day (i.e. in sequence of time), this will help the patient remember them.

Parallel processing is the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of differing quality. This becomes most important in vision, as the brain divides what it sees into four components: color, motion, shape, and depth.

Important Dates Tomorrow: Signed Syllabus Tuesday, August 12: Memory/Chapter 9 Summative

Memory is the term given to the structures and processes involved in the storage and subsequent retrieval of information.

Memory Implicit (procedural) memory—learn/know how to do something Explicit (declarative) memory-can state and “declare” that they know. Deliberate recall of information Episodic Semantic

3 Storehouses of memory 3 control processes of memory What is the duration & capacity of each? Duration = time held Capacity = amount held Why can’t we remember everything? Selective attention 3 control processes of memory (mediating the flow of information)

Memory Encoding 1. Visual (picture) 2. Acoustic (sound) 3. Semantic (meaning) For example, how do you remember a telephone number you have looked up in the phone book? If you can see it then you are using visual coding, but if you are repeating it to yourself you are using acoustic coding (by sound).

Think/Pair/Share Which do you think is the principle coding system for short-term memory (STM): visual, acoustic, semantic?

Evidence suggests that this is the principle coding system in short term memory (STM) is acoustic coding.  When a person is presented with a list of numbers and letters, they will try to hold them in STM by rehearsing them (verbally).  Rehearsal is a verbal process regardless of whether the list of items is presented acoustically (someone reads them out), or visually (on a sheet of paper).

Think/Pair/Share Which do you think is the principle coding system for long-term memory (LTM): visual, acoustic, semantic?

The principle encoding system in long term memory (LTM) appears to be semantic coding (by meaning). However, information in LTM can also be coded both visually and acoustically.

Memory Storage Duration Capacity Most adults can store between 5 and 9 items in their short-term memory. Magic number 7 (plus or minus 2). LTM=Unlimited? Chunking Information can only be stored for a brief duration in STM (0-30 seconds), but LTM can last a lifetime.
