11.3 learning and memory Flashcards
how do you strengthen synapses?
long term potentiation
spatial and temporal relationships between different semantic memories is known as?
episodic memory
need this for true long term effect
protein synthesis
this transfers memories from working to long term
hippocampal formation
how do you weaken synapses?
long term depression
working memory is stored where?
pre-frontal cortex
being able to sleep through a ticking clock is an example of
habituation
damage of the hippocampus does what?
prevents formation of new long-term explicit memories, does not prevent formation of implicit memories
explicit memories are primarily stored here one consolidated
neocortex
content, meanings of words, sights, sounds etc are what kind of memory?
semantic
what does the neocortex do?
recall of stored memory of the event activates parts of the cortex activated when event was sensed
explicit memory resides where?
hippocampus and neocortex
neocortex has what type of memory?
explicit
cerebellum has what type of memory?
implicit
pre-frontal cortex has what kind of memory?
working memory
