Stages of Memory:
Encoding The initial learning of informations - Very selective - Somethings you do or don't pay attention too - First initial experience of perceiving events - Perception - Recoding Taking new information and adding it to what we know - Allows us to make adjustment, associations with new or previous stuff - Distinctiveness
Storage Maintaining information over time What's happening on the level of the neurons - Which is neurons are activated - Which part of the brain gets stimulated - Activating where it's being stored in your brain
Retrieval
Access information when you need it - Add more importance and value to something that you are storing - Activate neurons that are holding onto those informations
NEURONS Receive information - Organize Send information - Generated and extend their axons to talk to and communicate to different neurons - Based on experience - Help to engage with the world - Experience with world to adjust and adapt
Explicit Memory - Semantic memory - Expoxotic memory
Implicit Memory - Non-verbal - Motor memory Brushing your teeth (not having to relearn it) - Memory can be divided into working memory or immediate memory - SHORT TERM MEMORY - First stage of learning something - LONG TERM MEMORY -- Life time - Modified by experience - Brain systems associated to memory Cortex - Hypocampus - Motor system - Amygdala: Learn to be afraid of something, emotions
CORTEX - Working memory
HIPPOCAMPUS - Short term memory
Left of the campus Storing long term memories Right of the campus Declarative memories and spatial relationships
Emotional Learning - The stronger the memory - Denoting the memory of experiences that evoked an emotional reaction
Protein Synthesis - Process in which cells make proteins - Two stages: - Transcription - Translation - Experiences changes neurons
- When they experience new informations - Plasticity - Change of the ability of a neurons - Synaptic plasticity Modified based on their experiences - Membrane begins to alter Spines adds to the surface area and adds onto the dendroid Begins to change, adjust, adapt based on experience - Looks different - Different shapes - Mushroom
