Learning and Memory - Memory - Types of memory

6 important questions on Learning and Memory - Memory - Types of memory

What does "the way information is stored may change over time" mean?

through consolidation and reorganization. The brain shifts memories from temporary areas to long-term networks

What is the difference between Nondeclarative vs LTM and Declarative memory LTM

  • DLTM is for memories that recuire to be consciously recalled/explicitly recalled. Whereas NDLTM is does not require conscious awareness to be remembered
  • DLTM is for facts and events remembering but NDLTM is for skills that are retrieved and executed without thought

Name the 2 subcatergories of declarative long-term memory and state what they store
Give examples

  • episodic memory which stores specific personal experiences
    • Remembering special events such as graduations, weddings
  • semantic memory which stores factual information
    • types of food, capital cities
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice

nondeclarative (implicit) memory refers to memory of unconscious skills and habits

Name the long-term and short-term structures involved in acquisition and storage of declarative memory over the short-term and long-term

Short-term memory storage structures is hippocampus
Long-term memory storage structures is when wernickes area and temporal cortex

Name the long-term and short-term structures involved in the acquisition and storage of non-declarative information over the short-term and long-term

Short-term memory structures are unknown
Long-term memory structures include cerebellum, basal ganglia, premotor cortex and other sites related to motor behaviour

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
