Lecture 1 - Memory & Learning Flashcards
SEQ Process and Learning, CC Short Term and Long Term Memory
Cells that receive and send information in the Nervous System?
Neurons
Connections between Neurons are known as?
Synapses
The ability of the nervous system to modify post birth in response to stimuli?
Neuronal/Neural Plasticity
Memory that stores information for short period of time?
Short-term Memory
Memory that stores information for long period of time?
Long-term Memory
Process of receiving and interpreting information?
Encoding
Process of accessing information stored in the Long-term Memory to be used directly?
Retrieval
Increase in strength of synapses?
Long-term Potentiation
Memory occurs at _?
Synapses
Sequence the process of Learning
Stimuli -> Short term memory -> Long term memory
-> = process of encoding
Long term to short term: Retrieval
What effect does retrieval have on neuronal connections?
Aids in Long-term Potentiation; increases the ability to recall information
Difference between LTM and LTP?
Long-term memory is where information is stored for long periods of time, while LTP is a process that strengthens the ability to recall information through retrieval.
