Lecture 3 Block 3 Flashcards
what are 2 examples of associative learning
classical/pavlonian conditioning and operant conditioning
what is classical/pavlonian conditioning
association of 2 stimuli
what is operant conditioning
an association of a behavior with a reward or escape of punishment
what is non associative learning
a change in behavior after repeated exposure to a single stimulus
what is habituation
reduced response after repeated exposure to the same stimulus
what is sensitization
enhanced response after repeated exposure to the same stimulus
what is consolidation
the process of converting short term memory to long term memory
which type of memory requires conscious effort
explicit memory
what is the declarative component of fear memory
memory of the fearful event
what is anterograde amnesia
cannot form new explicit memory after surgery
what is temporally graded retrograde amnesia
cannot remember things that happened within 2 years before surgery
what is context-dependent fear memory
the memory process by which the meaning of a cue is understood with reference to the content in which it is retrieved
what is extinction
loss of learned response following repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus
what is the hippocampus important for
- declarative memory
- recent but not remote histroy
- analysis and recognition of context in context dependent fear learning
what is the amygdala responsible for
all fear learning
