1 The Persistence of Memory
This painting is by Salvador Dali. What do you suppose it means?

2 Implicit (Procedural)
3 Types of Memory Episodic Semantic Implicit (Procedural) Episodic is the things that happen to us. Semantic is the meaning we attach to things. Implicit is the memory we develop from participating in activities.

3 3 Processes of Memory Encoding Storage (Your big filing cabinet)
Visual or Acoustic Semantic Storage (Your big filing cabinet) Maintenance Rehearsal Elaborative Rehearsal Retrieval Context Dependent State Dependent We remember sounds longer than sights (unless we don’t).

4 Reyna & Brainerd Verbatim Trace Memory Gist Trace Memory
Kids may be more reliable witnesses! How about brain scans for lie detection? Researchers in repressed memory. Likely believe strongly that many repressed memories are false.

5 “When memories are ‘recovered’ after long periods of amnesia, particularly when extraordinary means were used to secure the recovery of memory, there is a high probability that the memories are false.” Royal College of Psychiatrists

6 What about False memories?
They can be planted. Certainty is no guarantee. Source Confusion Elaboration Modification Excess pressure for details Wish fulfillment Finish up with Bryan.

7 Stages of Storage (1) Sensory Memory Sight (Visual) Hearing (Auditory)
Iconic Eidetic Hearing (Auditory) Echoic Lasts Longer Music helps Smell Olfactory Taste Savory Touch Haptic Why does music help our memory? Think about memories you have from each of these senses.

8 [Are you a sieve or a sponge?]
Stages of Storage (2) Short-term Memory (Working Memory) [Are you a sieve or a sponge?] [Do you rehearse?] Primacy and Recency Effects Chunking Interference (Displacement)

9 Stages of Storage (3) Long-term Memory
Mechanical/Rote (maintenance rehearsal) Relating (elaborative rehearsal) Reconstruction Schemas It is probably limitless!

10 Memory Tasks Recognition Recall Relearning

11 Forgetting Infantile Amnesia Babies don’t remember things Decay
Memory fades over time Interference Displacement by new information Repression Relieve anxiety, guilt, or shame Amnesia Trauma-induced Retrograde Amnesia Lose prior knowledge Anterograde Amnesia Lose subsequent knowledge Why do TV shows always use Retrograde Amnesia as a plot device?

12 Can I improve my memory? Drill and Practice – repetition
Make connections Build Links Find unique associations Mnemonics

1.  Forgetting is the flip side of memory.  Forgetting can occur at any one of the three stages  Long-term memory holds large amounts of information.
