Info

• Retrograde amnesia – loss of old memories • some retrograde amnesia with hippocampal damage – the period just before the injury is forgotten (temporally graded) – memory consolidation (Squire) • Memories are dependent on the hippocampus for awhile – with time, the cortex can learn the memories – this process is called memory consolidation
Narrative and Autobiographical <strong>Memory</strong> • Do laboratory studies apply to real life memories? – Bartlett (1932) thought narrative memory is often reconstructed based on schemas • Schema: general knowledge or expectation distilled from past experiences (i.e., the ‘gist’ of things) – e.g., the ‘eating lunch’ schema • constructivist view of LTM • serial reproduction: repeated recall the same story – Native American story, “War of the Ghosts”, became more distorted and westernized with each reproduction – Consistency bias • Memories are made to be consistent with current self-schema – Source monitoring errors • Attributing a memory from source A to source B – Reality monitoring errors • Thinking something happened that was just imagined or planed
