Semantic Models
Category Clustering
Forgetting
Ebbinghaus
Memorized long lists of nonsense syllables (cew, qoz)
Forgetting
Theories of Forgetting
Decay Theory
Interference
Proactive
Retroactive
Forgetting
Variables affecting interference:
Meaningfulness of material
Similarity of material
Time between learning and recall
Memory Disorders
Amnesia
May be caused by damage to the limbic system
(specifically Hippocampus).
Case of HM –
Suffered from:
Moderate retrograde amnesia
Severe anterograde amnesia
Memory Disorders
Korsakoff’s Syndrome
May suffer both retrograde and anterograde amnesia
Case of 59 yr old man
Memory Disorders
Alzheimer’s Disease
Applications: Foraging
Organisms may be less likely to forget
information when it is important for survival
Applications: Eyewitness
Testimony
Loftus & Palmer
Believed memories were reconstructed each time they are
accessed

Six is sticks – can of tuna balanced on a stick
Seven is heaven – steak with angel wings
Eight is a gate – fence gate made of sugar cubes
Nine is wine – potato chips floating down a river of wine
Ten is a hen – hen sitting on top of lettuce head
