Introduction to Memory

, Hyperthymestic memory – super memory
Amnesic memory – no memory


Memory is essential to function
No future without it, can’t predict behaviour
In a void – no past either


Retrograde amnesia – forget old memories
Anterograde – can’t form new ones


Declarative (explicit) memory – facts, events, what you can tell
Non-declarative (implicit) – habitual, procedural – basal ganglia
Autobiographical memory – memory of own self


Encoding – formation of memory
Consolidation – representation of memory


Learning – change in an organism’s behaviour as a result of experience Memory
trace – mental representation of a previous experience
