Lecture 10

Question 1

The stages of memory

Answer 1

encoding
consolidation
storage
retrieval

Question 2

encoding

Answer 2

recieving, processing and combining of sensory information and creation of a transient record of the encoded information

Question 3

consolidation

Answer 3

the stabilization of memory after its initial acquisition

Question 4

storage

Answer 4

the formation of a permanent record of the memory

Question 5

retrieval

Answer 5

calling back the stored info in response to some cue for us to process or activity

Question 6

The different ways memories can be categorized

Answer 6

very short term
short term
long term

Question 7

very short term

Answer 7

lasts a few seconds to perhaps a few minutes

Question 8

short term

Answer 8

lasts minutes to days

Question 9

long term

Answer 9

lasts days to decades

Question 10

Structures of explicit memory

Answer 10

basal forebrain
prefrontal cortex
medial temporal cortex and hippocampus
rest of the cortex

Question 11

basal forebrain

Answer 11

involved in attention

Question 12

prefrontal cortex

Answer 12

important in initial encoding of memories

Question 13

medial temporal cortex and hippocampus

Answer 13

consolidation and storage of spatial and episodic memory

Question 14

rest of cortex

Answer 14

long term storage of semantic memory

Question 15

structures of implicit memory

Answer 15

premotor cortex
motor cortex
basal ganglia and cerebellum

Question 16

premotor cortex

Answer 16

creates a movement pattern for a task and sends it to the motor cortex

Question 17

motor cortex

Answer 17

receives movement pattern from premotor cortex and sends information about movements to the body and the basal ganglia

Question 18

basal ganglia and cerebellum

Answer 18

receive input form the from the frontal cortex about movement and sensory cortices about their consequences and sends it the the thalamus
