Memory
* sensation and perception
* processes of sensation – reception, transduction, transmission
* processes of perception – selection, organisation and interpretation
* models for explaining memory
* processes of memory – encoding, storage, retrieval
* features of the multi-store model of memory (Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968)
* sensory register: duration, capacity, encoding (iconic and echoic)
* short-term memory: duration, capacity, encoding
* long-term memory: duration, capacity, encoding
* implicit – procedural
* explicit (declarative) – semantic and episodic
* features of the working memory model (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974; Baddeley, 2000)
* central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer
* memory formation
* structures of the brain
* the role of the hippocampus in the formation and storage of memory
* Henry Molaison – case study
* the role of the cerebellum in the formation and storage of implicit memories
* the role of the amygdala in the formation of memories
* process of remembering and forgetting
* remembering
* the role of recall (free, serial and cued), recognition and relearning in memory
* levels of processing model of memory (Craik and Lockhart, 1972)
* shallow (structural, phonemic) and deep (semantic) processing
* study: Depth of processing and the retention of words in episodic memory – experiment two (Craik and Tulving, 1975)
* rehearsal as a strategy to improve memory
* maintenance rehearsal
* elaborative rehearsal
* role of repetition as seen in Ebbinghaus and the forgetting curve (1885)
* forgetting
* types of forgetting
* retrieval failure
* interference – proactive and retroactive
* motivated forgetting
* Decay theory
* causes of memory loss and impacts on behaviour and emotion
* trauma – Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
* degeneration – Alzheimer’s disease
* drug-induced – Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS)
