b. Working (short-term) Memory
31
What is the process of forgetting things from long-term memory due to?

40
Define Fast Learning
(aka Within-session learning) is the formation of the memory trace during active pracice of task
41
Fast Learning is defined by rehearsal in a. Sensory Register b. Working (short-term) Memory c. Long-Term Memory
b. Working (short-term) Memory
42
Fast learning is highly influenced by what to things during learning?
1. Selective Attention 2. Active Problem Solving (can't just be going through motions)
43
Is random practice or blocked practice better for Fast Learning?
- Have to problem solve and come up with new stratigies - Reactive memory and re-encode in different way - Better attention because jumping around and can't get into grove.
44
T/F: Fast Learning is highly sensitive to disruption.
True
45
Does majority of learning take place during practice or after practice?
After - 3-4 hour timeframe following practice
46
T/F: Motor memory consolidation is susceptible to "interference" by external influences.
True
47
When is memory consolidation least stable?
immediately after you are done practicing
48
Learning and subsequent recall of movement skill can be enhanced by: (5)
1. Increasing amount of original learning 2. Fostering understanding of task to be learned 3. Mnemonics (memory aids) 4. Contextual interference during practice 5. Spacing of practice (distributed practice)
49
Why would contextual interference during practice enhance learning and subsequent recall of movement skill?
forces greater selective attention, heighten initial encoding process
50
Why would spacing of practice (distributed practice) enhance learning and subsequent recall of movement skill?
Shorter but more frequent bouts allows for higher attention, greater attention span, and more opportunities to put more layers of paint onto canvas, more opportunities to engage wave of protein synthesis rather than all at once.
51
Cardiovascular exercise has a most powerful influence on what type of tasks?
executive control tasks involving frontal areas of brain (critical thinking)
52
T/F: Actute CV exercise memory benefits are time dependent.
True
53
T/F: Long-term CV exercise does not improve memory significantly.
True
54
When should exercise be performed for the greatest effect of memory? a. Before b. During c. After d. a and b e. b and c
d. a and b (however during is best, exercise effects may persist after exercise
55
Exercise bout performed before or during learning exposure activates mechanisms that
lower threshold for acquistion (encoding)
56
Largest effects of acute exercise on memory occur with a. immediate retention b. delayed retention
b. delayed retention | so won't notice effects immediately
57
What effect does Long-term CV exercise have on memory?
priming effect on mechanisms for memory processing, optimizes effect of a single bout of exercise. i.e. will get more of a benefit from acute exercise on memory if you are already in decent shape.
58
What are the timing effects of exercise thought to be due to?
priming of molecular mechanisms in encoding and consolidation (priming nervous system to learn)
59
Select the appropriate memory the molecule has an effect on: Epinephrine a. Short-Term b. Long-Term c. a and b
b. Long-Term
60
Select the appropriate memory the molecule has an effect on: BDNF a. Short-Term b. Long-Term c. a and b
c. a and b
61
Select the appropriate memory the molecule has an effect on: Dopamine a. Short-Term b. Long-Term c. a and b
a. Short-Term
62
What are the acute effects of BDNF?
Enhance synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability
63
What are the chronic effects of BDNF
Protein synthesis --> architectural modification of motor centers
64
T/F: BDNF effects inversely related to VO2max.
True More benefit with lower VO2max because you have more room to improve.
65
What are the two sleep stages in which sleep is classified?
1. Non-REM | 2. REM
66
How many stages is Non-REM sleep?
4 Stage 1 Stage 2 Slow-wave Sleep (stage 3 and 4)
67
Do young adults or older adults spend more time in REM?
young adults
68
Which aspect of consolidation sleep dependent? a. Stabilization b. Enhancement
b. Enhancement Enhancing and improving motor function is sleep dependent, while Stabilizing or maintaining the motor skill over time is not. Don’t see decrease in performance from not getting sleep, but will see improvement with sleep.
69
What is the sequential hypothesis?
Memories are consolidated through ordered sequence of non-REM followed by REM sleep
70
What type of memory is consolidated during SWS or REM?
Declarative memory
71
What type of memory is consolidated during stage 2 non-rem or REM?
Procedural Memory
72
T/F: Young adults benefit from sleep less than older adults.
False, young adults benefit more
