Learning of Content
-
Activated by thinking or sensory input
-
Thalamus for initial processing
-
Routed simultaneously to cortical structure (Occipital, Temporal, Parietal)
- Routed to subcortical areas
- For emergency other areas of brain recruited
- Information sent to Hippocampus for evaluation and storage
- Hippocampus will organize, distribute, and connect to appropriate cortex for long time storage
- It is more likely that high-bias to be saved than low-bias
-
Short Term Memory sent to Frontal Lobe
- Deemed irrelevant and dismissed
-
Deemed relevant and sent to Hippocampus
- Organized and stored in Cortex
-
Processed in Thalamus
- Visual is sent to Occipital Lobe
- Language to Temporal Lobe
- Touch and other senses to Parietal Lobe
