What are the stages of the Three-Stage Model of Memory?
Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, Long-Term Memory.
What are the three fundamental processes involved in memory?
Encoding, Storage, Retrieval.
What is the effect of damage to the hippocampus on memory?
Can cause anterograde amnesia, the inability to form new long-term memories.
What is the effect of Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) on memory?
Strengthens neural connections, making it easier to recall information later on.
What is the effect of schemas on memory recall?
Schemas can influence what we remember, leading to biases by remembering information that fits our existing schemas.
Compare Explicit and Implicit memory.
Explicit memory is conscious and declarative (facts, events), while implicit memory is unconscious and non-declarative (skills, habits).
