true or false if you have antrerograde amnesia you able learn nonverbal tasks

True

Anterograde amnesia

an inability to form new memories • its when you can recall past event but cannot form new memories. • He is able to learn nonverbal tasks. IE they can spot waldo on different occasions. They can find their way to the bathroom without being able to tell you where it is • They can be conditioned HOWEVER they do all these things with NO AWARENESS of having learned them. • They can form new implicit memories

THIS is the inability to form new memories

anterograde amnesia

THIS was a central idea in freuds theory.

repression

Source amnesia

attributing to the wrong source an event we have experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined. This is also called source misattribution. Source amnesia, along with the misinformation effect is at the heart of many false memeories. • This is the reason for misinformation

Repression

in psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories. • As we process information, we filter, alter or lose much of it. • Fraud would argued that our memory stems self-censored information. He believed that we repress painful or unacceptable memories to protect ourself concept to minimize anxiety. He believed that some memories linger and can be retrieved by ater therapy. • Repression was a central idea in freuds theory. • Tiday memory researchers think repression rarely, if ever occurs. They say people succeed in forgetting unwanted information, but it can be a lot harder to forget emotional events. Thus we may have more intrusive memories of the very traumatic experiences we would like to forget.

the misinformation effect with figure 33.7

in this experiment people viewed a film of a car accident. Those who later were asked a leading question to recall a more serious accident than they witnessed.

Misinformation effect

incorporating misleading information into ones memory of an event • It can influence attitudes and behaviors. • Even repeating imagining nonexistent actions and events can create false ememories. • Digitally altered photos have also produced imagination inflation.

• Henry Molaison

known as H.M.- he had brain surgery to stop having seizures and after the surgery he was unable to have new memories. He was still intelligent, and able to complete cross-word puzzles. He suffered from anterograde amnesia.

true or false Forgetting happens more when you have been awake and doing other activities.

true

true or false misinformation effect can influence attitudes and behaviors

true

Déjà vu

that eerie sense that "ive experienced this before" cues from the current situation may unconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier experience. • Source amnesia helps to explain this. • The key to this seems to be familiarity with a stumulus without a clear idea of where we encountered it before.

• Forgetting curve

the course of forgetting is initially rapid, then levels off with time.

Retrograde amnesia

the inability to retrieve information from ones past • This acts backward in time, just like when you choose a retro look for a party to wear clothes from an earlier time. • This is when you cannot recall your past.

Retroactive interference

(backward acting) the disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old information. • Occurs when new learning disrupts recall of old information. • Information presented in the hour before sleep is protected from retroactive interference because of the opportunity for interfering events is minimized. • Forgetting happens more when you have been awake and doing other activities. • But the information presented seconds before sleep is barely remembered. • You cannot learn while sleeping either.

Proactive interference

(forward acting) the distributive effect of prior learning on the recall of new information • occurs when prior learning disrupts your recall of new information.

H.M. had this?

Anterograde amnesia

Figure 33.2

Ebbinghaus forgetting curve= after learning list of nonsense syllables, such as YOX and JIH, Ebbinghaus studied how much he retained up to 30 days lter, he found that memory for novel information fades quickly and then levels out.

THIS occurs when prior learning disrupts your recall of new information

Proactive interference

How to improve your memory:

Rehearse repeatedly- to master material, use distributed space practice. Make the material meaningful- you can build a network of retrieval cues by taking text and class notes in your own words. Activate retrival cues- mentally recreating the situation Use mnemonic devices- associate items with PEG words Minimize interference- study before sleep Sleep more- during sleep the brain reorganizes and consolidates infromtion for long term memory Test your own knowledge.

this is the inability to retrieve information from ones past

Retrograde amnesia

true or false You can learn while sleeping

false

true or false if you have antrerograde amnesia you can be conditioned and you will have AWARENESS of having learned the things you have been conditioned.

false

true or false the forgetting curve is when the course of forgetting is initially slow, then speed up with time.

false

true or false- repression of bad memories really happens

false

true or false. if you have Anterograde amnesia you cannot recall old memories?

false

Positive transfer

when one thing helps you learn another. IE learning latin helps you learn French.

Loftus car hit/ smash experiment

• Loftus has shown how eyewitnesses can reconstruct their memories after a crime or accient. In one experiement two groups of people watched a film of a traffic incident and then answered questions about what they saw. When the words smashed and hit were changed, those people gave higher rates of speed when the word smashed was used then when the word hit was used. Then when asked a week later about broken glass, people who said the cars smashed into eachother were more likely to say they saw broken glass even though there was no broken glass in the movie.
