Q

Short term Memory

A

Memory for recent events and their order

19
Q

What is short term memory mediated by?

A

Frontal Cortex

20
Q

What are the short term memory systems in the frontal cortex?

A

Separate systems for short term spatial memory and short term object memory

21
Q

What is involved in emotional memory?

A

The amygdala

22
Q

What disrupts emotional memory?

A

damage to the amygdala

23
Q

What does implicit memory involve?

A

Basal ganglia
Motor cortex
Cerebellum

24
Q

Huntington’s Disease

A

Cellular degeneration in the basal ganglia

25
Q

What is activated during the Pursuit Rotor Task?

A

Motor Cortex Plasticity

26
Q

Cerebellum

A

Plays a role in classical conditioning

27
Q

Temporal Cortex

A

Includes the entorhinal and perirhinal cortexes

28
Q

Entorhinal and Perirhinal Cortexes

A

Project to the hippocampus

29
Q

Damage to Rhinal Cortex

A

Severe anterograde/ retrograde impairments on object recognition tests

30
Q

Removal of right temporal cortex

A

Deficits in face recognition, spatial position, and maze learning

31
Q

Removal of left temporal cortex

A

Deficits in recall of word lists, non spatial associations

32
Q

Left prefrontal cortex

A

Encoding semantic and episodic info.

33
Q

Right prefrontal cortex

A

Episodic info. retrieval

34
Q

Korsakoff’s Syndrome

A

Caused by vitamin B1 deficiency from alcohol intake

35
Q

What does Korsakoff’s damage?

A

Medial thalamus
mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus
Frontal Lobe

36
Q

Asperger’s syndrome

A

Form of autism

Individuals have high intellectual function and memory abilities

37
Q

Savant

A

Person who has intellectual disability but has special ability in math, memory, or music

38
Q

HSAM

A

Incredible memory ability–> Can completely recall events in their lives

39
Q

Alzheimer’s Disease

A

Begins with cellular change in the medial temporal cortex and anterograde amnesia

40
Q

System Consolidation Theory

A

Hippocampus consolidates memories, hold them for a time, and then send them to be stored elsewhere

41
Q

Multiple Trace Theory

A

3 kinds of memory: Autobiographic, Factual semantic, and General semantic memory

42
Q

Multiple Trace Theory definition

A

Old memories are more resistant to amnesia because they change location in the brain as they are recalled

43
Q

Reconsolidation Theory

A

Each time memory is used, it is reconsolidated
