Memory by Mind Map: Memory

1. Implicit memory is recalling memories that we know but don't directly do.

1.1. Unlocking doors

1.2. Classical conditioning, using a stimuli to make an action occur on command

2. Procedural Memory is directly related to memory because its a way we remember things, though motor skills

2.1. Is directly related to implicit memory because these skills are ones that we do without thinking

2.2. This is controlled by the basal ganglia

3. Conceptual understanding increases over time, the older then the better, This is related to memory because the concepts can be understood and remembered through different types of memory.

3.1. principles

3.2. models

3.3. theories

4. Phonemes and morphemes, these are components of language. Language and its componets help form a basis for what we know and undertsand

4.1. free and bounded morphemes

5. Flashbulb memories, are ones that can be described very well later in time

5.1. False memories, often flashbulb memories are told different

6. Recognition is related because its a way we remember things. We have done something like it

7. The thalamus acts as the brains snapshot memory and it stores information

8. Available heuristics are information and memores we can recall that lead to a bias about something. This relates to memory because its based on what we can recall.

8.1. representative heuristics involve memory because its a judgement based on memory that you are told

9. Functional fixedness relates to memory because the memory of an object makes you use an object only one way. You do not wanna break the memory of how things are done.

10. Sensory memory, it is storage of information before short term

10.1. Iconic & echoic

10.2. Short term/Working memory

10.3. Long Term Memory

11. Explicit Memory is connected because memory because its how we can recall things

11.1. Semantic memory

11.1.1. related because we can recall things through our knowledge and use of facts

11.2. Episodic memory

11.2.1. Related to memory because its a type of memory, related to explicit because we can recall memories through events that have happened

12. Semantics is how a person processes information to form a memory

12.1. Semantics is related to memory because its a step in creating one

12.2. Meaning-related

13. Recall & Retrieval are what is often done with the memory after it has been encoded

13.1. forgetting happens during recall because memory fades as time move forwards

14. Long-term potentiation, is what strengths the neurons to form memories

14.1. Hippocampus controls this part of the brain and helps formation

15. Proactive interferance is related because recolation of memory is decresed by past information

15.1. this cause the recalling of new memories to be lower

16. Noam Chomsky based his idea about language around the idea that its innate and we have pre-existing memory of it when we younger

16.1. This makes talking later in life easier

16.2. however skinner believed we learned languages through environment and behaviorism.

17. The two types of bias, confirmation and hindsight both relate to memory. Confirmation bias is being bias off new information instead of your memory and knowledge

17.1. hindsight is the knew it all along thinking. you manipulate your memory to think something was planned.
