Chapter 10 Memory Disorders Flashcards
And inability to form new memories following brain damage
Anterograde amnesia
Memory deficits acquired through brain damage
Amnesia
Area of the brain associated with learning and memory damage can cause anterograde amnesia
Hippocampus
A cortical area of the brain in the temporal lobe associated with learning and memory damage can cause anterograde amnesia
Medial temporal lobe’s
Subcortical region of the brain associated with learning damage can cause anterograde amnesia
Mammillary bodies
Specific impairment of including new information into both of episodic and systematic memory while most other kinds of functions remain intact
Amnesiac syndrome
The preserve ability to perform tasks that are influenced by the past event without being aware of event experience
Implicit memory
A participant is given some letters of the word but not all of them and must figure out the word
WordFragment completion
The effect of presenting to a stimulus on the later processing of the same stimulus amnesiacs show repetition priming even if they do not consciously recall the target
Repetition priming
The discussion we have with others about the past
memory conversations
Amnesiac describes a memory from before the injury as if it happened after
Memory importation
An amnesiac retrieves an event based on someone else’s repeated retelling of the event
Memory appropriation
Rather than trying to answer your question about the past an amnesiac talked about the issues that have arisen from amnesic syndrome
Memory compensation
Technique that uses the speared implicit memory of amnesiacs to help them learn new skills
Method of vanishing cues
Drugs that are used to relieve anxiety insomnia and muscle tension they are also Strong aamnesia inducing drugs. Especially within the episodic memory domain
Benzodiazepines
The failure to become aware of Cognitive of deficit
Anosognosia
When patients his ability to retrieve memories of events prior to Brain damage
Retro grade amnesia
Your memories will be more affected by retrograde amnesia than older memories
Ribots law
A neurological process whereby memory traces or made permanent in the person’s long-term memory
Consolidation
An effective treatment for depression that involves delivering a strong electric shock to the head of the patient he creates. Of retrograde amnesia
Electroconvulsive therapy
Severe form of the mesial ball on by long-term alcoholism characterized by anterograde amnesia retro grade amnesia anisognosia and confabulation
Korsakoffs disease
The part of the brain that includes the thalamus and hypothalamus it serves as the important really point in the human memory circuit
Diencephalon
When amnesiac patients lie about their past. They do not know they are not telling the truth because of deficits in source monitoring
Confabulation
People often show retrograde amnesia and may show anterograde amnesia although the latter tends to be much less severe than in other patients they also show anosognosia and confabulation
Frontal lobe Amnesia
Deficits incorrectly attributing the source of a memory
Source amnesia
A rare form of amnesia which the amnesic effects are short-lived usually on the order of hours
Transient global amnesia
Deficit in the capacity of working memory
Short-term memory amnesia
Condition caused by brain damage in which patients believe that places or locations have been duplicated and that the two locations exist simultaneously
Reduplicative paramnesia
A condition caused by brain damage in which patients believe that other people have been duplicated in the two identical people may exist
Capgras syndrome
All forms of amnesia that are not directly linked to disruption or injury to the brain
Psychogenic amnesia
A condition in which only the Trumatic event or events closely related to the trauma or not remembered
Disassociative amnesia
A psycho genic amnesia which the patient forgets his or her personal identity in addition to access to his or her autobiographical past
Disassociative fugue

Posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD
The active forgetting of highly emotional memories usually from childhood
Repression
One of many dementia type illnesses that are more common in older adults than younger adults memory is the first deficit detected in this disease
Alzheimer’s disease
Masses of unnecessary proteins that interfere with normal brain function
AmyLoid plaques
The twisting of Amyloid plaques around neurons which causes destruction of those neurons
Neurofibrillary tangles
The interventions that clinical neuropsychologist used to promote improved memory performance in memory impaired individuals
Memory rehabilitation
The trains a patient to learn a particular factor skill why preventing the person for making errors during the training
Errorless learning
