- medial temporal lobe damage
- no new memories
- some retrograde amnesia
2
Q
Henry Molaison
A
- medial temporal area
- no new memories
- but NO retrograde amnesia
3
Q
K.F.
A
- bike accident
- parietal damage
- very weak WM
4
Q
K.C.
A
- poor episodic memory
5
Q
Italien woman
A
- poor semantic memory
6
Q
semantization of episodic memory
A
- stronger the longer ago
7
Q
priming studies show
A
- explicit performance reduces quicker than implicit
8
Q
elaborative rehearsal
A
- deep processing
- imagery
- more effective
9
Q
paired associate learning
A
- learning meaningless word pairs
- improved by imagination
10
Q
retrieval practice
A
- recalling memory without a cue
11
Q
recognition task
A
- f.e. which of these words was in the list?
12
Q
cued recall
A
- what rhymes with that?
13
Q
encoding specitfity
A
- being in the same place or context helps
14
Q
state-dependend learning
A
- being in the same state of mind helps
15
Q
transfer-appropriate learning
A
- for recognition: deep
- for cued-recall: shallow
16
Q
synaptic consolidation
A
- within minutes
17
Q
systems consolidation
A
- takes years
- brain repeates itself
- hippocampus reactivates experiences
- during sleep and relaxation
18
Q
standard model
A
- hippocampus puts stuff into neocortex
- isnt involved anymore
- explains graded amnesia (older memories are stronger consolidated
19
Q
multiple trace model
A
- hippocampus is active for all retirevals
- changing response over time
- re-opens connections
- enables learning, altering, erasing
- does NOT include semantic memory
