Answer 1

the result of acquired information

Question 2

memory is subdivided into what 3 stages?

Answer 2

encoding, storage and retrieval

Question 3

sensory memory is split into…

Answer 3

iconic (visual) and echoic (auditory) memory

Question 4

hierachal modal model of memory

Answer 4

sensury inputs - sensory register - STM - LTM.

Question 5

the modal model of memory says we need what other processes…

Answer 5

attention for STM and then rehearsal for LTM

Question 6

baddeley and Hitch proposed what model

Answer 6

Working memory

Question 7

Working Memory consists of what three processes?

Answer 7

central executive, phonological loop and the visuaospatial sketchpas.

Question 8

hierachal model and WM differ on their processing routes… what is the difference.

Answer 8

hierachal believes that it is serial processing so one stage cannot begin without completing the other whereas WM it is parallel so the processes occur at the same time.

Question 9

WM is found inbetween what 2 brain areas?

Answer 9

BA44 and the supramarginal gyrus.

Question 10

procedural memory has no need for what brain lobe?

Answer 10

the medial temporal lobe.

Question 11

what is priming?

Answer 11

change in the response to a stimulus following prior exposure to a stimulus.

Question 12

what are the two types of amnesia

Answer 12

retrograde or anterograde amnesia

amnesia for the future- inability to learn new things.

Question 15

episodic memory requires…

Answer 15

the what, when and where.

Question 16

episodic memory is processed

Answer 16

in the medial temporal lobe which consists of peritinal cortex and parahippocampal cortex

Question 17

other lesions that can cause amnesia are?

Answer 17

dorsomedial nucleus of thalamus and mammilary bodies

Question 18

Patient E.E

Answer 18

had surgery for the tumour in his left angular gyrus which is associated with STM, despite a severly impared STM his LTM remained.

Question 19

another form of memory that is spared by hippocampal damage is…

Answer 19

familiarity

Question 20

how do we measure familiarity

Answer 20

if word is green you say if its big or small but if word is red you say if it is alive or inanimate- scan phase.
confidence judgement- have you seen this word before and source judgement was the word green or red
