Everything else (there's a lot but this will be more condensed because I don't wanna write a novel)
Attention: focus on something at the exclusion of other stimuli
Divided Attention Can't do two tasks at once simultaneously. You can only switch between them
Selective attention helps focus on one task despite distractions ie studying while listening to the loudest music ever in the history of the universe but you still absorb info.
-Diff from divided attention whereby you are diviiding your attention between two tasks
Directed attention focusing on only one thing
In-attentional blindness (perceptual blindness) inability to recognize an unexcpected object, event or stimulus that is in plain sight. Psychological than sensory issue. You never notice that there's a dent in your car even though you drive it everyday
Change blindness change blindness more of a personal thing ie don't notice that someone cut their hair
Neglect syndrome damage to brain causes change or lossin capacoty of spacial dimension of divided attention
Basal forebrain makes avetylcholine which is important for attention
Executive attentiongoal directed (dopamine plays important role)
Now comes the theories........
Broadbent
-Sensory register -> selective filter -> perceptual process (assigning meaning to what you just sensed) -> conscious
Deutch & Deutch
-Sensory register -> perceptual process -> selective filter -> conscious
Treisman
-Sensory register -> attenuator (reduces imput) -> perceptual process -> conscious *tbh i need to come back to this because I don't quite get this theory
Memory
Info processing model brain is like a puter. bottom-up model. has limited storage and attention. assume serial processing, but the brain actually have capacity for parallel processing
-Sensory register (memory): iconic [sight] lasts half a second and echoic [hearing] lasts longer
working memory: or short term memory. 7 pieces of info at one one. Think phone #
-primacy: first on list
-recency: end of list. recency era after rococo
long term capacity is unlimited yay
-explicit: declarative. facts, events. divided into 2
Semantic: facts ie your age, race etc
Episodic: personal memories. think episode from a show but the show is about you lol
-implicit: second nature stuff like how to drive a car. you dont actually have to explicitly remember how to drive a car everytime you're in a car
-memories from conditioning and unconsciously
-habits
-unconscious motor skills
-procedural memory is a long term memory for habits such as washing hands after using the bathroom (I hope it's procedural for everyone....)
-all these stored in basal ganglia
autobiographical memory memory over the course of an individual life
encoding transfers temp to perm memory over the course of an individual life
pegword system using words and numbers to remember
method of loci making a mental map to remember things. links info to locations
Ebbinghaus rate of forgetting fast at first but levels out
Proactive interferencefirst thing you learned prevents from learning more stuff
Retroactive interferencelast thing you learned prevents from remembering earlier stuff
Korsakoff's syndrome (lack of b1 or thiamine)causes wernicke's encephalophathy with memory loss and making up memories
retrograde amnesiainability to recall old memories
anterograde amnesiainability to make new memories
