Ch 14 Learning & Memory

Question 0

subsystem often used to memorize a phone number, a list of names

Answer 0

verbal

Question 1

three parts of working memory

Answer 1

executive control, verbal subsystem, spatial subsystem

Question 2

subsystem for remembering information on a map, or keeping track of players during a game

Answer 2

spatial

Question 3

verbal substem is in blank cortical region mostly

Answer 3

posterior

Question 4

executive control blank resources to working memory subsystems

Answer 4

allocates

Question 5

neurons remain firing during blank period after seeing an object

Answer 5

delay

Question 6

blank region of the brain works dynamically with the blank to cause responses

Answer 6

frontal, somatosensory cortex

Question 7

increased demand of working memory requires greater recruitment of the blank

Answer 7

frontal (central executive)

Question 8

working memory is a blank cognitive ability for blank functioning

Answer 8

core, intellectual

Question 9

working memory can only focus on about blank components

Answer 9

4

Question 10

two types of long term memory

Answer 10

implicit, explicit (declarative)

Question 11

conscious retrieval of previous experiences or conscious recall of factual information about people, places, things

Answer 11

explicit

Question 12

automatic, unconscious learned responses

Answer 12

implicit

Question 13

flexible long term memory

Answer 13

explicit

Question 14

implicit memory is blank because these memories are best when conditions closely match when the learning blank

Answer 14

inflexible, occurred

Question 15

memory about factual information or concepts

Answer 15

semantic

Question 16

autobiographical memory

Answer 16

episodic

Question 17

relating object to other observed info that involves working memory

Answer 17

encoding

Question 18

maintaining this information in mind over some period of time with working memory

Answer 18

storage

Question 19

stabilizing information for a longer time and involves structural change

Answer 19

consolidation

Question 20

when stored info is recalled

Answer 20

retrieval

Question 21

two types of explicit memory

Answer 21

semantic, episodic

Question 22

side of inferior temporal region that recognizes object form

Answer 22

left

Question 23

easier to remember semantic information because there was recent exposure to that type of information

Answer 23

conceptual priming

Question 24

when conceptually primed, there is a decreased activity of the blank

Answer 24

pfc

Question 25

easier to remember perceptual information because of recent exposure

Answer 25

perceptual priming

Question 26

when perceptually primed, there is blank activity in pfc

Answer 26

decreased

Question 27

procedural skills and habits are blank memory

Answer 27

implicit

Question 28

implicit memory involves changes in these

Answer 28

basal ganglia, cerebellum, cortex

Question 29

example of implicit memory

Answer 29

learning to ride bike

Question 30

implicit memory is bad in blank patients

Answer 30

parkinsons (basal ganglia)

Question 31

decreased response intensity after repeated presentation of a benign stimulus

Answer 31

habituation

Question 32

enhanced, broadened response following experience with a noxious or intense stimulus

Answer 32

sensitization

Question 33

a learned association between two stimuli

Answer 33

pavlovs dog classical conditioning

Question 34

a learned association between a specific behavior and an event

Answer 34

operant conditioning

Question 35

does not produce a response of interest by itself

Answer 35

conditioned stimulus

Question 36

does produce a strong and consistent response

Answer 36

unconditioned stimulus

Question 37

example of operant conditioning

Answer 37

pressing a lever to get a food pellet

Question 38

forgetting location of objects or to carry out a task

Answer 38

absent mindedness

Question 39

temporary inaccessibility of info stored in memory (tip of the tongue)… anterior cingulate/pfc highly active

Answer 39

blocking

Question 40

incorrectly remembering time, place, or person in memory… creation of memories that never happened in the hippocampus

Answer 40

misattribution

Question 41

incorporating external information into a memory to modify memory of events

Answer 41

suggestibility

Question 42

altering memories based on ones general knowledge or beliefs

Answer 42

bias

Question 43

constant remembering of information or events even if we are not trying to remember them… like ptsd

Answer 43

persistence
