	Human memory process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychologist Endel Tulving (1972; 1983) further defined these two declarative memory conceptions of explicit memory (in which information is consciously registered and recalled) into semantic memory wherein general world knowledge not tied to specific events is stored and episodic memory involving the storage of context-specific information about personal experiences (i.e.
		For such processing, the details surrounding the memory (where, when, and with whom the experience took place) must be preserved and are necessary for an episodic memory to form, otherwise the memory would be semantic.
		The ability to recall episodic information concerning a memory has been termed source monitoring, and is subject to distortion that may lead to source amnesia.

	Human memory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Memory is the next part of our model of the user as an information processing system.
		Information is passed from sensory memory into short-term memory by attention, thereby filtering the stimuli to only those which are of interest at a given time.
		Semantic memory, on the other end, is a structured record of facts, concepts and skills that we have acquired.

	Memory
		Both semantic and episodic memories, whether linguistically expressed or not, usually aim at truth, and are together sometimes called ‘declarative memory’, in contrast to nondeclarative forms of memory, which don't seem to represent the world or the past in the same sense.
		But to say that psychologists of memory have turned their research efforts to the study of suggestibility, misinformation, and distortion is not, of course, to say that accuracy in memory has suddenly been shown by science to be impossible or unlikely.
		Engel (1999) and Schacter (1996) are reliable and well-written introductions to the psychology of memory in general: Tulving and Craik (2000) is a thorough handbook on the cognitive psychology and neuropsychology of memory.

	95 leave: Human Memory
		Rather, my strategy is to treat memory research as a study in progress, to identify constituent content areas of the field with their theoretical developments and methodologies, and to emphasize continuing and integrative themes.
		Believing that memory is best studied at the level of abstract function like encoding, storage, and retrieval of information, most classical memory researchers up to and including John Anderson (1980) have turned a deaf ear to the calls for investigations of the 'hardware' of memory, its biological bases.
		Now 15 years later, researchers readily acknowledge that memory is constrained by the biological properties of neural tissue, and, as a result, memory research is experiencing a sea change, as is the rest of cognitive psychology.

	memory
		One of the most popular models of memory sees memory as a present act of consciousness, reconstructive of the past, stimulated by an analogue of an engram called the "retrieval cue." The engram is the neural network representing fragments of past experiences which have been encoded.
		Memories might better be thought of as a collage or a jigsaw puzzle than as "tape recordings," "pictures" or "video clips" stored as wholes.
		Not only could Penfield only elicit "memories" in about one out of every thirteen patients, he did not provide support for the claim that what was elicited was actually a memory and not a hallucination, fantasy or confabulation.

	HUMAN MEMORY SYSTEM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Memory is a remarkable mental process and a mental system which receives information from (external or internal) stimuli, retains it and makes it available on a future occasion.
		In Long-Term memory various kinds of events, experiences and stimuli are retained.The forgetting is caused by numerous factors including interference from one information to other, lack of organization in the material retained and or unavailability of appropriate cues at the time of retrieval.
		Memory is a very complex psychological process and any kind of mechanical analogy in terms of storage, processing and retrieval (e.g., tape recorder, computer) falls short.

		They have two sexes, as is common to many humanoid species, with the female of the species fertile once a month after she reaches puberty (between the age of 12-16) until the onset of a biochemical stage known as menopause (between the age of 45-55).
		The make-up of Human DNA structure is significant, as, with some modifications, it allows them to cross breed successfully with a wide range of other races across the galaxy, including Vulcans, Klingons, and Betazoids.
		In an alternate timeline, Humanity was assimilated by the Borg in 2063 after the Borg prevented first contact between Humans and Vulcans.

	TOWARD A THEORY OF HUMAN MEMORY:
		In human memory tasks information can be equated with what is made available by the test environment (e.g., the experimenter supplied cues and the experimental instructions indicating which cues and memories are relevant) or by the subject (e.g.
		Tulving's (1972) distinction between episodic and semantic memory is widely regarded as being extremely useful when applied to tasks, but there are substantial doubts about its applicability to memories or memory systems (see the BBS commentary on Tulving 1984).
		Their answer was that human memory has adapted to the environment in which it operates.

	Human gene affects memory
		NIH scientists have shown that a common gene variant influences memory for events in humans by altering a growth factor in the brain's memory hub.
		Despite its negative effect on memory, the "met" version's survival in the human genome suggests that it "may confer some compensatory advantage in other biological processes," note the researchers.
		The observed memory decrements are likely traceable to the failure of "met" BDNF to reach the synapses, as well as its inability to secrete in response to neuronal activity, say the researchers.

	Human Memory
		This focus on the qualitative aspect of memory is partly the result of a widespread concern about the reliability and fallibility of eyewitness testimony demonstrated in widely publicized court trials involving alleged serial killings, mass sexual abuse in kindergartens, and in trials based on early memories resurrected in psychotherapy.
		The purpose of this project is to develop a model that incorporates the error-generating factors of human cognition and embeds memory in a larger context of cognitive psychology.
		Human memory has been his main research area, where he has been and still is engaged in a wide spectre of different research issues, among them questions about action memory and recognition failure.

	Human Memory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Human memory is not a unitary entity, rather it is a collection of interacting systems which have in common the job of storing and subsequently retrieving information.
		It is important to remember that when one says they are 'losing their memory' it does not mean that all systems are failing at once, rather that one or more systems are becoming problematic.
		Evidence for LTM storage occurring so quickly is that memory tested after one to two minutes behaves very similarly to that tested after days or years.

		This means that the memories are available to more than the original brain area that processed the information (or the printed word would never be recognized when spoken, the memory would be stuck in visual cortex).
		For these sorts of declarative memories, we need to be able to learn and retrieve relationships between bits of information that are stored in different brain areas: this requires the medial temporal lobe and diencephalon because they have inputs and outputs to many other brain areas.
		Source memory is roughly "memory for the context in which something was learned", remembering HOW you learned something.

	Ebbinghaus
		Influenced by the British Empiricists, Ebbinghaus assumed that the process of committing something to memory involved the formation of new associations and that these associations would be strengthened through repetition.
		This technique is more sensitive test of memory than recall; a person may be able to recognize an item that he or she could not recall.
		The improved memory for distinctive items in the middle of a list is known as the Von Restorff effect, after its discoverer.

	Cognitive Neuroscience of Human Memory - Questia Online Library
		The cognitive neuroscience of human memory aims to understand how we record, retain, and retrieve experience in terms of memory systems--specific neural networks that support specific mnemonic processes.
		Advances in the study of the cognitive neuroscience of human memory reveal the functional neural architecture of normal human memory and illuminate why focal or degenerative injuries to specific memory systems lead to characteristic patterns of mnemonic failure.
		Those activations may represent correlated memory processes that are not participating in the form of memory being measured in the neuroimaging study.

		This came about as a result of studies by Brown in the England and the Petersons in the US They showed that even sequences in such a short memory span could show clear forgetting, IF, the individual was prevented from thinking about it or rehearsing it.
		No subject noticed this and thus none showed release from PI However, one group was warned of the change and suddenly showed release from PI A third group received this info AFTER the presentation of the critical sequence but BEFORE recall.
