July 8•Neuropsychology

In this lecture: how the brain stores what you learn, and why it takes more than one system.

Main memory systems

Working memory holds what you're using right now, for a few seconds at a time.

Episodic memory captures events: the what, where, and when of an experience.

Semantic memory keeps facts and concepts, no original context needed.

Procedural memory stores skills and habits built through practice.

Card 6

Why does spaced retrieval build more durable memories than cramming?

Answer

Recalling after partial forgetting takes effort, and that effort triggers reconsolidation, strengthening the trace at the synaptic level. Sleep between sessions consolidates the change.

Question 6

Which memory system holds what you're using right now?

AEpisodic memory
BWorking memory
CSemantic memory
DProcedural memory

What's the difference between episodic and semantic memory?
Episodic memory is your record of specific events, tied to a time and place. Semantic memory keeps the facts themselves, no context attached.
