Ch 4 Attention

Question 1

Classifier

Answer 1

A multivoxel pattern analysis, the classifier is a computer program designed to recognize patterns of voxel activity.

Question 2

Consolidation

Answer 2

Changing memory into stable states

Question 3

Cues recall

Answer 3

Cues, that aid in recalling previous experiences stimulus.

Question 4

Deep processing

Answer 4

Processing that involves attention to meaning.

Question 5

Depth of processing

Answer 5

The idea that processing can happen at deep or shallow levels.

Question 6

Elaborate rehearsal.

Answer 6

Rehearsal that involves thinking about the meaning of an item to be remembered.

Question 7

Encoding

Answer 7

The process of acquiring information and transferring it into memory.

Question 8

Encoding specifically

Answer 8

We learn information together with context.

Question 9

Free recall

Answer 9

A procedure for testing meteoro in which the participant is asked to remember stimuli that were previously presented.

Question 10

Generation effect

Answer 10

Memory for material is better if the person generates it himself.

Question 11

Graded amnesia

Answer 11

When amnesia is most Sever for events that occurred just prior to an injury and becomes less severe for earlier, more remote events.

Question 12

Long term potential LTP

Answer 12

The increased firing that occurs in the neuron due to prior activity at the synapses.

Question 13

Maintenance rehearsal

Answer 13

Rehearsal that involves repeating the information with out any meaning making

Question 14

Múltiple trace model consolidation

Answer 14

The idea that the hippocampus is involved in the retrieval of remote memories, especially episodic memories. In contrast to the standard model, which proposed that it is only involved in retrieval of recent memories .

Question 15

Paired associate learning

Answer 15

A learning task in which participants are first presented with pairs of words, then one word is presented and asked the other word

Question 16

Reactivation

Answer 16

A process that occurs during memory consolidation, the hippocampus replays the neural activity associated with the memory.

Question 17

Reconsolidation

Answer 17

The process where memory has to be reconsolidated after retrieval.

Question 18

Retrieval

Answer 18

The process of remembering information that has been stored in long term memory.

Question 19

Retrograde amnesia

Answer 19

Loss of me memory for something that happened prior to an injury or traumatic event.

Question 20

Self-reference effect

Answer 20

Memory of a word is improved by relating the word to itself, what are how similar words

Question 21

Shallow processing

Answer 21

Repetition with very little attention to meaning

Question 22

Spacing effect

Answer 22

The effect of enhance performance caused by short study sessions.

Question 23

Standard model of consolidation

Answer 23

A theory that memory retrieval depends on the hippocampus during consolidation but that once consolidation is complete retrieval no longer needs hippocampus.

Question 24

State depends learning

Answer 24

The principal that memory is better if it is done in the same state.

Question 25

Synaptic consolidation

Answer 25

A process of consolidation that involves structural changes at synapses, that happens rapidly.

Question 26

System consolidation

Answer 26

A consolidation process that involves physical changes to network in the brain.

Question 27

Testing affect

Answer 27

Enhance me performance the more it is tested.

Question 28

Transfer appropriate processing

Answer 28

When the type of task that occurs during encoding matches the type of task that occurs during retrieval. This can enhance memory.
