Ch 5

Question 1

Working memory

Answer 1

Temporary, fragile, limited, relatively easy of an entry

Question 2

Long term memory

Answer 2

Long- lasting enduring, enormous, effortful

Question 3

Childhood memory

Answer 3

We are learning so much and we develop over saturation of synaptic connections, our brain is forming is so many pathways
At birth there is around 15% more neurons than we do now

Question 4

Synaptic pruning

Answer 4

Around 10-11
Brain starts slipping away those connections that were not used in childhood
Brain becomes more sufficient
If we really wanna learn something it has to be before age 10

Question 5

Neural loss

Answer 5

Part of aging process

Question 6

Synaptic density

Answer 6

High density during childhood

Question 7

Pre frontal cortex

Answer 7

Last thing to develop in the brain

Question 8

Teens

Answer 8

Fully active amygdala in the commons, have a lot of emotions and do not have the pre frontal cortex during this time
Over pruning during this time and then we build back in adolescence

Question 9

Long term memory systems

Answer 9

Declarative - declaring something, a fact
- semantic and episodic

Non declarative - motor memory
- procedural and conditioning

Question 10

Declarative memory - explicit memory

Answer 10

Explaining and declaring

Consciously aware of and can be verbalized

• Facts and personal experiences
  It can be both
  EXAMPLE : episodic - George is the first president
  semantic - learning about it in class
  Best way to learn about history is to attend that place so that both can be together

Question 11

Non declarative - implicit

Answer 11

Without awareness
Driving a car

Question 12

Semantic declarative memories

Answer 12

“Knowing” vocabulary

Your address, facts about the world and personal

Initially was believed in the hippocampus and prefrontal but now it depends on semantic but usually in hippocampus and throughout the cortex
