Lecture 11

Question 1

Declarative memory is dependant on the

Answer 1

Medial Temporal Lobe

Question 2

Non-declarative memory is

Answer 2

procedural

Question 3

2 subtypes of declarative

Answer 3

episodic (events) and semantic (facts)

Question 4

3 subtypes of non-declarative

Answer 4

Skill-learning, Priming (being more likely to use a word bc you heard it recently), Conditioning (like classical)

Question 5

Part of brain w/ conditioning

Answer 5

cerebellum

Question 6

Part of brain w/ fear conditioning

Answer 6

amygdala

Question 7

Types of non-declarative learning

Answer 7

Skill-learning and conditioning

Question 8

Experiment for declarative memory testing in monkeys

Answer 8

delayed non-matching-to-sample task, object recognition memory

Question 9

Damage to where causes impairment on delayed non-matching-to-sample task

Answer 9

Medial temporal lobe

Question 10

Performance on delayed non-matching-to-sample task with either hippocampus or amygdala removal

Answer 10

little impairment

Question 11

Performance on delayed non-matching-to-sample task with both hippocampus and amygdala removal

Answer 11

severe anterograde amnesia, similar to patient HM

Question 12

Patient RB

Answer 12

Ischemic brain injury (not given enough oxygen during surgery), damage to CA1 region of hippocampus bilaterally

Question 13

Patient RB memory deficits

Answer 13

severe anterograde memory and partially impaired retrograde memory (declarative memory impairment similar to HM)

Question 14

Where LTM are stored

Answer 14

In the same cortical area they were initially processed (no longer dependant on MTL)

Question 15

MTL dependent for LMT as they

Answer 15

consolidate

Question 16

Karl Lashley’s Law of Mass Action

Answer 16

severity of memory impairment correlated with amount of cortex removed, not location
