  2. Long-Term Memory is an Abstract Concept(So Let’s Use An Analogy) Long-Term Memory is part of your brain’s filing system. It has at least 2 filing cabinets. Each filing cabinet has different drawers with different kinds of memories. Semantic Episodic Explicit Memory Priming Classically-Conditioned Procedural Implicit Memory GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  3. The Drawers Have Specific Names Explicit or Declarative Semantic Episodic Implicit or Non-declarative Procedural Classically-Conditioned Priming GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  4. So Let’s Look at Your Drawers Explicit or Declarative (Conscious Recall) Semantic (Facts and General Info) Episodic (Personal Experiences and Events) Implicit or Non-declarative (No Conscious Recall) Procedural (Motor Skills and Habits) Classically-Conditioned (Response to Conditioned Stimuli) Priming (Earlier Exposure) Semantic Episodic Explicit Memory Procedural Priming Classically-Conditioned Implicit Memory GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  5. The Concept of Long-Term Memory Your brain stores different parts of your Long-Term Memory in different physical sections. When your brain needs a memory, it activates that physical section & extracts the memory. Like a computer gets data from its memory storage. GayleFisherYourBrainFacts 5

  6. And what if the data isn’t in the correct drawer when your brain searches for the missing piece? GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  7. Want to enhance your memory? Try the process of SQ4R • Survey • Question • Read • Recite • Review • Write GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  8. To Remember Better, Use the Process of SQ4R It works for anything you want to remember Try it today. What is something you want to remember better, longer, more solidly? For school? For work? For fun? GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  9. What memory do you want to build? SQ4R Survey Question Read Recite Review Write For a stronger, more solid, enhanced memory, GayleFisherYourBrainFacts

  10. Learning modifies the brain’s neural networks in 2 ways 1. Dendrites grow more spines, more synapses, more receptor sites, more sensitivity What does growing more spines (branches) mean? “I have 4 branches. I am learning more.” “I have 3 branches” GayleFisherYourBrainFacts 10
