Sensory Memory
Iconic memory
o Visual, more researched, limited to FOV, 0.5-1sec decay
o Activation in photoreceptors in retina, rods and cones (rods
more)
o Temporal integration, change blindness, saccadic eye movement
o Partial Report Paradigm
Observers presented with visual stimulus for brief time (50
ms) consisting of either a 3x3 or 3x4 array of alphanumeric
character
Whole report condition required maximum recall,
participants recalled 3-5/12 items, suggestion whole report
is limited to 4-5 items
Partial report asked for cued recall (cues were different
pitched tones), after stimulus participants recalled 9/12
items
Echoic memory
o Auditory, superficial aspects of sound like pitch and rhythm, 1.55 and 20sec decay
o Hair cells auditory cortex temporal lobe (mainly PFC)
o Mismatch Field (MMF)
ERP elicited 150-200ms after odd stimulus in sequence of
stimuli
Word-Priming Study

Patient who had bilateral medial temporal lobectomy and 2/3 of his
hippocampi, parahippocampal cortices, entorhinal cortices, piriform
cortices, and amygdalae surgically resect in an attempt to cure his
epilepsy
Links between brain function and memory
Studies on amnesia
Rat placed in large circular pool has to navigate to the escape platform
Placing it randomly in the pool tests memory strategies for
remembering how to escape
