I’m a psych major and your videos have been so helpful.. your explanations are truly so amazing and easy to understand!! Thank you for making these videos.
These vids are great. My lecturers tend to go on and on and makes listening and taking in the information harder due to boredom and just the sheer amount of info they're telling you which is unnecessary.
I'm really grateful that I've found this channel. It helps me a lot especially with my upcoming report next week ♥️ Stay strong and God Bless your TH-cam channel Sir ! 🙏😇♥️
I love how you use different colors for your text to visually group or distinguish between pieces of information. For example, it will be easier for me to remember that procedural memory isn't a part of explicit memory, because the information about explicit memory had yellow-ish colors while the information about implicit had blue colors. "Procedural" was a shade of blue - and so was the word "implicit". When you get a lot of information with all-white text and no clear visual distinction between them other than line breaks, I find that the information tends to blend together in my mind. I might remember the key words, but forget the hierarchy or connections between them. This makes it so much easier. Thank you so much. (Not a psych major, simply satisfying my curiosity.) Is muscle memory considered a form of procedural memory? I noticed that even if I forget the list of numbers for a PIN code, I'll remember the movement to enter the correct PIN code. I assume the list of numbers is part of explicit, semantic memory (given that I can actually remember the numbers), but is the muscle memory of the movement to enter it correctly a kind of procedural memory? And if muscle memory does belong to the domain of procedural memory, is it a sub category to procedural or equivalent to procedural?
Great, that's been my intent with using colors so I'm glad you've found it helpful! "Muscle memory" can be a misleading name since the memory is encoded in the brain (mostly cerebellum), not in the muscles, so it can also be called motor learning. The PIN example would be a procedural memory that forms from repeating a pattern until it becomes automated, just like tying your shoes. So you can have the mostly unconscious procedural memory for inputting the PIN even though you're having trouble recalling the explicit semantic memory of the digits because the motor pattern has been repeated frequently in the past. Hope this helps!
@@PsychExamReview Thank you so much, Professor. It does help. And you're right.. motor learning sound more precise and less likely to cause confusion than muscle memory. It's all fun and games until they rearrange the order of the numbers on the keypads you need for PINs. When a new generation of ATMs was introduced here, they changed the keypad from having the same number order as a calculator keypad (1-2-3 at the bottom) to one that resembled a telephone keypad (1-2-3 at the top). That panic moment when you realize that you don't remember your own PIN code. At least not in an explicit way. 😅
Thanks for your videos , i have a question, you talked about the episodic memory, can it be about the arousal of our body ? Like if the arousal of our body relatively increases, the information kinda gets bold in our brain and can that be how we tell the gist of the day ?
Yeah, our emotional state can be an important cue for our memory, both during the encoding process and for things like state-dependent and mood-congruent recall, helping us to retrieve some aspects of related memories. For example, you might recall that you were angry on a particular day, and this may help you to retrieve other information (I was upset because this happened, and this also happened, etc.)
Very amazing and awesome lectures And exponential explanation I like it Thank you very much Dr Michael for helping me🌹🌹🌹🌹😍 God bless you🙏😃 I'm so happy to find this channel 💕 The memory was difficult to me Your explanation very helpful and easy to understand Keep going please Thank you very much again 😊 Be safe
Hello this was really helpful but can you please do a video explaining what are the key brain structure for working memory , it will be a massive help,Thank you
It is impossible for any organism to simply store informationa and retrieve it.That will require the existence of a neuron which would be unique in the sense that it would be the first of its kind to store data,which neurons simply do not do.
Would reading books or watching TV fall under the episodic memory category? Perhaps that's why we remember them more than we would a textbook or an informational video...
Yeah, some parts of this could be considered episodic memory, especially recalling the context of your personal experience while watching the show or reading the book. But memory for these experiences could also include semantic memories such as knowing specific lines of dialogue, character names, etc.
Those experiences would be episodic memories though you might also have some related semantic memories for factual information about the illnesses, treatments, etc.
@Jaswinder Singh I'm not sure what your exams are like but one of the best things to do when studying is to test yourself on the terms and concepts you will need to know. One way to practice this is to take a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you remember about the chapter (without looking at any materials) and see if you can explain those concepts in your own words. After that, go to your book and notes and look for things that you forgot to include or weren't clear on. Then repeat this process several times, with breaks in between. Hope this helps!
I’m a psych major and your videos have been so helpful.. your explanations are truly so amazing and easy to understand!! Thank you for making these videos.
I'm really glad to hear that. Thanks for watching and commenting, let me know if you have any questions!
I always catch myself watching your videos every time I have an exam. Thank you for making all these super educational videos.
You're welcome, glad to hear they're helpful, good luck on your exams!
I love my Phych major. I had to take 8 classes for my Cadi for addiction psych, SDSU ❤
4 years and the video still makes sense bravo prof
Why would it stop making sense ever?
love you man thanks for helping me and my friend during last few hours before the exam
These vids are great. My lecturers tend to go on and on and makes listening and taking in the information harder due to boredom and just the sheer amount of info they're telling you which is unnecessary.
Glad you're finding these helpful! I'll try my best to keep making videos that are focused and concise :)
This man is a textbook but the textbook i understand when i read 👍🏻
Thank you so much for creating this channel, I am a psych major and your channel has helped me a lot

I'm really grateful that I've found this channel. It helps me a lot especially with my upcoming report next week ♥️ Stay strong and God Bless your TH-cam channel Sir ! 🙏😇♥️
Thank you and glad to hear it was helpful!
@@PsychExamReview It also inspires me more to pursue this career and hopefully reach the PhD Degree someday 🥺 Thank you so much Sir ! 🙏♥️
Love all your videos super educational, i feel like the more i know how my mind works the more organized i am mentally.
Glad you like them!
watching from S.Korea. Super helpful thanks man
No problem!
Appreciate the whole idea of exam review!!! Thanks .
You're welcome!
you teach better than my professor

@@LykkeNygaardJ That must have been tough, hope everyone was able to work out their PINs and adjust!
Thank you sir. I almost loose hope on understanding these lessons, but you came and solved the problem so easily✌.
I'm glad I could help, thanks for commenting!
Thank you for teaching us. Your videos are very helpful
Glad to hear that, thanks for commenting!
Thanks for this, Bill Hader :)
Haha, you're welcome!
You are the best ❤️🙏
You saved me a lot I was so confused.. thank you
Glad I could help!
Great dude keep improving in your area
This was so concise and helpful, thank you so much.
PS : It helps that you look like Bill Hader
Haha, you're welcome!
hope to meet you soon
Great video, great material. I hope I'll be able to remember it.
Best of luck 😄

Extremely helpful.........
nice explanation, very useful
you the best thaaaaaank you
Thanks!
what is the background sound? i feel like i am being hypnotised:)

Hey, professor!
Question,
Remembering the illnesses you had during your childhood would classify as semantic or episodic memory?
Those experiences would be episodic memories though you might also have some related semantic memories for factual information about the illnesses, treatments, etc.
thank You
You're welcome!
I need help to pass my psychology exam 😫.
Let me know if you have any questions!

On a totally different note.... Has anyone ever told you that you look like Topher Grace?
Haha, I haven't gotten that before...I usually get Bill Hader
This is just click bait. Knowing the various types of memory is just not important !!
