lecture 6- memory part 2 Flashcards
what is source memory?
the context within which the words appeared
what is the role of the medial temporal lobe
more familiarity the more activation of the brain areas
strong activity for recollection in what brain area
hippocampus
what is connected to the hippocampus
mamillary bodies
what types of memory are spared from hippocampal damage?
procedural, semantic and familiarity
what is the experiment into episodic versus familaitiy
half of words paried with an image whislt the others with a sound. fmri scan during encoding and retrieval.
what is source memory?
the context within which the words appeared.
the MTL is more active when…
more familiar
what has strong activity during recollection?
hippocampus, the mamillary bodies are connected to the hippocampus.
what memories are spared from hippocampal damage?
procedural, semantic and familiarity.
what is the study into episodic versus familiarity memory
pair half of words with image and other half with sounds and teh fMRI scan during encoding and retreival.
what did the fMRI scan find in the brain?
with the images activation in primary visual areas and with sound primary auditory areas.
memories are stored where…
in the higher order sensory areas.
left prefrontal cortex is active… and right prefrontal cortex is active…
during episodic encoding… episodic retrieval
