Q

What is priming?

A

a type of implicit memory; seeing one stimulus spurs you to see or think of another stimulus. For ex: you see the color “Yellow” and think of “Banana”.

Q

What is double dissociation?

A

a difference in abilities due to a certain area of the brain and/or body being damaged (e.g., someone who can write well but cannot draw well and vice versa)

Q

When a man’s hippocampi, amygdalas, and ventromedial temporal lobe were removed, what resulted?

A

an intact IQ, an inability to create new memories (a.k.a. no semantic and episodic memory formation), brief retention of memory; no recollection of memories from 10 years ago; can repeat 7 digits

Q

When the mammilary bodies, mamillothalamic tract, and dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus are damaged, what results?

A

ability to repeat digits and retain old memories, but cannot learn new information (i.e., semantic and episodic memories cannot be formed)

Q

What happens when the (L) fronto-parietal area and (R) parietal - occipital area are damaged?

A

there are no personal memories; no new personal memories can be formed (episode memory formation is lost); current and past memories can be recalled

17
Q

What are the four time-based divisions of explicit memory?

A

encoding, consolidation, storage, and retrieval

18
Q

Which part of the brain is responsible for consolidation of explicit memory?

A

hippocampus and medial temporal lobe

19
Q

Which part of the brain is responsible for storage of explicit memory?

A

neocortex

20
Q

What is retrograde amnesia?

A

You cannot recall past declarative/explicit memories

21
Q

What is anterograde amnesia?

A

You cannot store new declarative/explicit memories.

22
Q

What memory would be impaired in a person with occipital damage?

A

Perceptual priming

23
Q

What memory would be intact in a person with occipital damage?

A

conceptual priming

24
Q

What memory would be impaired in a person with damage to the temporal and parietal lobes?

A

conceptual priming

25
Q

What memory would be intact in a person with damage to the temporal and parietal lobes?

A

perceptual priming

26
Q

Where in the brain do real memories show up?

A

hippocampus and primary visual areas

27
Q

What parts of the brain are active in fake memories?

A

inferior parietal cortex and medial superior prefrontal cortex

28
Q

What parts of the brain are involved in the flow of information from encoding to consolidation?

A

association cortex – > perirhinal cortex and parahippocampal cortex – > entorhinal and hipoocampal cortex

29
Q

What part of the brain is responsible for encoding?

A

association cortex

30
Q

What parts of the brain are damaged in amnesia

A

Hippocampus, limbic system, and thalamus

31
Q

What parts of the brain are responsible for nonassociative learning (e.g., habituation and sensitization)?

A

reflex pathways

32
Q

What parts of the brain are involved in perceptual priming?

A

perceptual and association neocortex

33
Q

What parts of the brain are responsible for explicit memories?

A

Hippocampus, medial temporal lobe, and neocortex
