If my lectureres had as organized, structured and consice presentations as this I would never need to open my book. Damn. Could you do developmental psychology next?😅
Thank you very much - that is very kind of you to say 😊 Glad the videos have been helping you so much. I've done a series on Attachment which you'll find on the channel in relation to developmental psychology. What other areas of developmental psychology are you studying?
I’m doing a bachelor in Psychology in Norway. Going for cognitive exam tomorrow. Next year will be Methods 2, developmental psychology and Biology and ped. Am having a hard time learning strictly through reading. Thus I have come resorted to video for dual-incoding hehe..
Well, a big hello to your in Norway! Great to have you find the channel. Hope your cognitive exam went well today! Dual coding for the win! Hope some of the other videos on the channel are helpful for your course too.
At 7:16, can you explain how semantic and episodic memory is proven by the accompanied descriptions? How do these observations prove the existence of the two types of memory?
Hi Toby - good question! First, just to clarify - when HM completed tasks, he couldn't remember the names of the researchers who carried out the task with him - semantic memories. For HM's episodic memories (personal events), the following day(s) when he would be asked to the do the same task again, he had no memory of ever having done the task before. HM provides evidence for the different components because they were both affected. However, my guess is that your question is a little more specific than that - technically, HM shows that there are different types of LTM (i.e. procedural was fine, but other types semantic & episodic were not). So it shows there is a distinction between procedural and the others. We would need more specific research with HM to specifically show the difference between semantic and episodic. What we can do, is take Tulving's study (mentioned earlier in the video) which does provide evidence for a difference between semantic and episodic memory in the brain, and retrospectively apply that to HM. Have I understood your question? Does that help?
Good question. It is now thought that the hippocampus helps binds details of memories together but has a limited capacity like a USB. Research has discovered sleep shifted these memories into a long term storage system - which then freed up storage for new memories and learning. The studies revealed the messages were being stored in the cortex. So in HMs case he was forming these new memories (in the USB so to speak) but they were not being transferred to his cortex for LTM storage.
The hippocampus is involved in memory, learning, and emotion. Its largest job is to hold short-term memories and transfer them to long-term storage in our brains.
you have no idea how much your videos help me in reviewing my studies, you're awesome thank you so so much!!
Delighted to hear that Enikő 😊 Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. All the best with your studies.
Thank-you so much this was so helpful!!
You’re very welcome Dior 👍Thanks for commenting. Hope the other videos prove helpful too

great video! super helpful

i'm confused whether or not LTM is in the hippocampus or prefrontal cortex?

so I can reference both?
