*”memory” is the ‘faculty’ of the ‘mind’ by which ‘information’ is [‘encoded’ / ‘stored’ / ‘retrieved’]*
.
(‘memory’ is vital to ‘experience’)
(without ‘memory’, “‘we’ are not ‘us'”)
(if we could not remember ‘past events’, we could not learn or develop [‘language’ / ‘relationships’ / ‘personal identity’])
.
(often ‘memory’ is understood as an ‘informational processing system’ with [‘explicit’ / ‘implicit’] functioning that is made up of…)
*a ‘sensory processor’*
*’short-term’ (or ‘working’) memory*
*’long-term’ memory*
.
(the ‘sensory processor’ allows information from the outside world to be sensed in the form of chemical and physical stimuli and attended to with various levels of ‘focus’ and ‘intent’)
(‘working memory’ serves as an ‘encoding’ and ‘retrieval processor’)
(information in the form of stimuli is encoded in accordance with explicit or implicit functions by the ‘working memory processor’)
(the working memory also retrieves information from previously stored material)
(finally, the function of ‘long-term memory’ is to store ‘data’ via various ‘categorical models’ or ‘systems’)
([‘explicit’ / ‘implicit’] functions of ‘memory’ are also known as ‘declarative systems” + ‘non-declarative systems’)
(these systems involve the purposeful intention of memory ‘retrieval’ / ‘storage’ (or lack thereof))
(‘declarative’ (or ‘explicit’) memory is the conscious ‘storage’ + ‘re-collection’ of ‘data’)
(under ‘declarative memory’ resides [‘semantic’ / ‘episodic’] memory)
.
(‘semantic memory’ refers to memory that is encoded with specific ‘meaning’…)
(…while ‘episodic memory’ refers to information that is encoded along a [‘spatial’ / ‘temporal’] plane)
.
(‘declarative memory’ is usually the primary ‘process’ thought of when referencing ‘memory’)
(‘non-declarative’ (or ‘implicit’) memory is the unconscious [‘storage’ / ‘re-collection’] of ‘information’)
(an example of a ‘non-declarative process’ would be the unconscious learning (/ ‘retrieval’) of ‘information’ by way of ‘procedural memory’)
.
*aka ‘priming phenomenon’*
(‘priming’ is the process of subliminally arousing specific ‘responses’ from ‘memory’ + shows that not all ‘memory’ is consciously activated, whereas ‘procedural memory’ is the slow + gradual learning of skills that often occurs without conscious attention to ‘learning’)
.
(‘memory’ is not a ‘perfect processor’ + is affected by many factors)
(the ‘manner’ in which ‘information’ is [‘encoded’ / ‘stored’ / ‘retrieved’] can all be corrupted)
(the amount of attention given new stimuli can diminish the amount information that becomes encoded for storage)
(also, the storage process can become corrupted with physical damage to areas of the brain that are associated with memory storage, such as the ‘hippocampus’)
(finally, the retrieval of information from long-term memory can be disrupted because of decay within ‘long-term memory’)
(‘normal functioning’, ‘decay over time’, and ‘brain damage’ all affect the accuracy and capacity of memory)
(from an information processing perspective there are 3 main stages in the formation and retrieval of memory:)
(“encoding” or registration: receiving, processing, and combining of received information)
(“storage”: creation of a permanent record of the encoded information in “short-term” or “long-term memory”)
(“retrieval”, recall or recollection: calling back the stored information in response to some cue for use in a process or activity)
.
(the ‘loss’ of ‘memory’ is described as [‘forgetfulness’ / ‘amnesia’])
