1
Q
Engram
A
Memory trace - hypothetical permanent neural change
2
Q
Working memory
A
Online ongoing memory - lasts for up to a few mins (until distraction).
3
Q
Non-associative learning
A
Repeated exposure to a stimulus, resulting in a response.
4
Q
Associative learning
A
Exposure to 2 or more paired stimuli simultaneously, resulting in a response.
Example: operant conditioning, classical conditioning.
5
Q
Complex learning
A
Learning involving insight, which is not simply a direct response to stimulus.
Example: word learning and tool use in primates.
6
Q
Habituation
A
Repeated exposure to non-threatening stimulus results in reduced response.
7
Q
Sensitisations
A
- Exposure to noxious stimulus results in heightened response to non-noxious stimulus.
- Adaptive response - reduction in energy expenditure.
8
Q
Conditioning
A
Pairing of more than 1 stimulus during training - creates different response when both or one are subsequently presented.
