| Unit Five - Module 32 Storing and Retrieving Memories | Storing and Retrieving Memories |
| semantic memory | Explicit memory of facts and general knowledge; one of our two conscious memory systems. (The other is episodic memory) |
| episodic memory | Explicit memory of personally experienced events; one of our two conscious memory systems. (The other is semantic memory) |
| hippocampus | A neural centre located in the limbic system. It helps process explicit (conscious) memories - of facts and events -for storage. |
| memory consolidation | The neural storage of a long-term memory. |
| cerebellum | The cerebellum is a major structure of the hindbrain that is located near the brainstem. The cerebellum plays a key role in forming and storing the implicit memories created by classical conditioning. Implicit memory formation needs the cerebellum. |
| basal ganglia | The basal ganglia is a group of deep brain structures involved the formation of our procedural memories for skills. The learning to ride a bicycle, for example, is due to your basal ganglia. |
| infantile amnesia | Our conscious memory of our infancy (first four years of life) is essentially blank. Two factors contribute to infantile amnesia: We index much of our explicit memory with a command of language that young children do not possess. The hippocampus is one of the last brain structures to mature, and as it does, more memory is retained. |
| flashbulb memory | A clear, sustained memory of an emotionally significant moment or event. |
| synaptic plasticity | Synaptic plasticity is the change in strength of synapses in the brain. A synapse is the entire junction between neurons, including the pre-synaptic neuron's axon terminal, the synaptic cleft, and the dendrite of the post-synaptic neuron, across which communications flow. Synapses are plastic meaning able to change. |
| long-term potentiation (LTP) | An increase in a cell's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. A neural basis for learning and memory. |
| retrieval cue | A prompt that help us remember. When we make a new memory, we include certain information about the situation that act as triggers to access the memory. The more retrieval cues one has, the better chance one has of finding the route to the memory. |
| priming | A type of retrieval cue. The activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in memory. |
| context-dependent memory | A type pf retrieval cue. Putting oneself back into the context where one earlier experienced something can prime memory retrieval. In other words, remembering something often depends on the environment. |
| encoding specificity principle | The idea that cues and contexts specific to a particular memory will be most effective in helping us recall it. |
| mood-congruent memory | A type of retrieval cue. The tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad mood. |
| serial position effect | A type of retrieval cue. Our tendency to recall best the first (primacy effect) and last (recency effect) items in a list. |
