  1. Psychology II 2/29 Info to Know Neurological surgery for epilepsy has become more sophisticated and complex. Before surgery is considered, antiseizure drugs must have failed to prevent the seizures. In addition, surgery works best for people whose seizures are in a localized region of the brain that can be removed without damage to major functions, such as speech. If the surgery can be performed within these guidelines, neurosurgeons perform the actual operation. In some cases, the patient remains awake during the procedure so that the surgeons can perform tests to make certain the tissue being removed will not affect major functions.

  2. Agenda • Ch 4 Summative Assessment Feedback • Section 1: Memory Classifications and Processes • By Friday, 3/2: • Nothing 

  3. CHAPTER 7-Memory (preview) • The Big Idea • The ability to store information in memory and retrieve it when needed depends upon a variety of factors. • Essential Questions • What is memory and how are memories encoded, stored, and retrieved? • How does the three stages of memory interact to determine whether information is remembered or forgotten? • What are some of the reasons people forget, and what can be done to minimize forgetting?

  4. Today’s Objectives • Identify the three different kinds of memory. • Identify how the processes of encoding, storing, and retrieving information are related to one another.

  5. Three Kinds of Memory • Understanding Memory • Memory is the process by which we recollect prior experiences and information and skills learned in the past. • There are three different kinds of memory. • Episodic • Semantic • Implicit

  7. Three Kinds of Memory • You have 20 minutes • In your small group brainstorm and develop an example that demonstrates your assigned memory type. • Create a poster containing both text & illustrations showing how that memory might be encoded, stored, and retrieved. • You will present your poster to the class

  8. Three Kinds of Memory • Why do some events become “flashbulb” memories? • How is semantic memory different from episodic memory? • Why do you think that implicit memory is sometimes called procedural memory?

  9. ???????? • What letters do not appear on the telephone keypad? • How many sides do most pencils have? • In what hand does the Statue of Liberty carry the torch? • We all retain information in our memories that we occasionally fail to recall. • Memory processes used to absorb and store information can affect our ability to retrieve it.
