  3. Early Studies • Ebbinghaus - wrote first to present systematic studies of memory and forgetting • nonsense syllables, forgetting curve • James - Philosopher, physician, psychologist whose dual-memory concept served as the basis of modern theories of memory. • Primary (immediate) and secondary (indirect)

  4. Primary memory - similar to STM • Secondary Memory - permanent memory, LTM • Ebbinghaus and James were ignored for 75 years, until emergence of cognitive psych.

  5. Neurocognition of Memory • Engram - memory trace • Long-term potentiation - process by which memories become permanent • “enhanced” responding of nerve cells repeatedly stimulated • Cerebral cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus involved in storage and processing

  6. Evidence for Two memory stores • James’s dualistic theory • Amnesia • behavioral studies (like Ebbinghaus) • primacy and recency effects • Issue is STILL BEING DEBATED

  7. Cognitive Storage Systems • Table on p. 240 • lots of experiments led to this, but still make an inferential jump

  8. Models of Memory • Waugh and Norman • Atkinson and Shiffrin • Level of Recall • Craik - Levels of Processing Model • Self-Reference Effect (SRE) • Tulving - Episodic and Semantic Memory • Connectionist (PDP) model

  9. Work: • Brief description • Diagram (if appropriate) • Research supporting the model • Advantages/Disadvantages with model
