13. Experience dependent placticy Flashcards
What is taste aversion learning? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Digesting a food that caused illness, avoided at later encounters
What did Lashley (1890) find? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Discrete lesions of cortical area did not interfere with maze learning, but large areas of damage did
What is associated with declarative memory? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Facts and events
What is associated with non-declarative memory? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Skills, priming and classical conditioning
What is the principle of equipotentiality? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
all cortical regions can mediate learning equally
What is the principle of mass action? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
The ability to learn is proportional to the amount of cortex available
What are the main memory storage in the brain? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
- Hippocampus
- Cerebellum
- Amygdala
- Frontal cortex
What memory is associated with the hippocampus? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Declarative and spacial memories
What memory is associated with the cerebellum? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Procedural memories
What memories are associated with the amygdala? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Emotional memories
What memories are associated with the frontal cortex? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Short term memory
What does the cortical model suggest? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
The formation of associations creates new cortical connections
What did Hebb believe? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
New synapses are anatomically and physiologically connected, but are not a part of a memory network
What is long term potentiation? (Experience-dependent psychobiology)
Long lasting changes in hippocampal synaptic efficiency following high frequency stimulation
