Cognitive Psychology Chapter V: Memory II
This deck covers key concepts from Chapter V of Cognitive Psychology, focusing on memory systems, types of memory, and related neurological processes.
Endel Tulving (1972) proposed a distinction between two kinds of explicit memory:
• semantic memory (not effected by lesions in the frontal lobe) • episodic memory (effected by lesions in the frontal lobe)

Endel Tulving (1972) proposed a distinction between two kinds of explicit memory:
• semantic memory (not effected by lesions in the frontal lobe) • episodic memory (effected by lesions in the frontal lobe)
semantic memory:
stores general world knowledge
episodic memory:
stores personally experienced events or episodes
Implicit memory is also referred to as …
… nondeclarative memory.
Based on neuropsychological research Larry Squire proposed the following taxonomy of the memory system:
• Memory - Declarative - Semantic - Episodic - Nondeclarative - Procedural skills - priming - Conditioning - Nonassociative (habituation)
According to the PDP (parallel distributed processing) model, the key to knowledge representation lies in the …
… connections among various nodes, not in individual nodes.
