  2. Procedural memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_memory

    Procedural memories are accessed and used without the need for conscious control or attention. Procedural memory is created through procedural learning, or repeating a complex activity over and over again until all of the relevant neural systems work together to automatically produce the activity. Implicit procedural learning is essential for ...

  3. Anterograde amnesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia

    From these results, Corkin et al. concluded despite having no declarative memory (i.e. no conscious memory of completing the maze exists), the patients still had a working procedural memory (learning done unconsciously through practice). This supports the notion that declarative and procedural memory are consolidated in different areas of the ...

  4. Procedural sedation and analgesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_sedation_and...

    Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) is a technique in which a sedating/dissociative medication is given, usually along with an analgesic medication, in order to perform non-surgical procedures on a patient. The overall goal is to induce a decreased level of consciousness while maintaining the patient's ability to breathe on their own.

  5. Anesthesia awareness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anesthesia_awareness

    Conscious sedation and monitored anesthesia care (MAC) refer to an awareness somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, depending on the degree to which a patient is sedated. Monitored anesthesia care involves titration of local anesthesia along with sedation and analgesia. [18] Awareness/wakefulness does not necessarily imply pain or discomfort.

  6. Twilight anesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_anesthesia

    This level, called moderate sedation/analgesia or conscious sedation, causes a drug induced depression of consciousness during which the patient responds purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied with light physical stimulation. Breathing tubes are not required for this type of anesthesia. This is twilight anesthesia. [2]

  7. Memory consolidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_consolidation

    Learning can be distinguished by two forms of knowledge: declarative and procedural. Declarative information includes the conscious recall of facts, episodes, and lists, and its storage typically connected with the mediotemporal lobe and the hippocampal systems as it includes the encoding of both semantic and episodic information of events.

  8. Implicit cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_cognition

    Implicit cognition refers to cognitive processes that occur outside conscious awareness or conscious control. [1] This includes domains such as learning , perception , or memory which may influence a person's behavior without their conscious awareness of those influences.

  9. Automatic and controlled processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_and_controlled...

    Automatic and controlled processes (ACP) are the two categories of cognitive processing.All cognitive processes fall into one or both of those two categories. The amounts of "processing power", attention, and effort a process requires is the primary factor used to determine whether it's a controlled or an automatic process.
