Memory

Question 1

What are memories 3 processes?

Answer 1

Encoding
Storage
Retrieval

Question 2

What are the types of processing?

Answer 2

Orthographic
Phonological
Semantic

Levels of processing get deep
Retention gets better

Question 3

When is memory better?

Answer 3

When processing matches between encoding and retrieval

Question 4

Is memory context dependent ?

Answer 4

Yes if learnt on sea or land better where you learnt it

Remember consistent to mood

Question 5

What are the characteristics of primary memory ?

Answer 5

Present
Conscious
Retrieval effortless

Question 6

What are the characteristics of secondary memory ?

Answer 6

Past
Unconscious - permanent
Lot of effort to retrieve

Question 7

What is selective damage?

Answer 7

Reduced verbal memory spans

Damage to parietal and temporal lobes

Question 8

What is the word length effect?

Answer 8

Increased syllables decreased recall

Cos of articulately loop- can remmeber what we can say in 1.5s

Question 9

What is amnesia ?

Answer 9

Ability to take in new information is permanently damaged

Question 10

What damage did hm have ?

Answer 10

Anterograde amnesia - loss of memories after surgery

Question 11

In can anterograde amnesics copy tasks?

Answer 11

Yes but when from memory can’t

Question 12

What isn’t affected for amnesics?

Answer 12

Digit span
Spatial span
Procedural - can learn new skills e.g mirror tracing
Priming - couldn’t remember he done it but could acknowledge he must have cos he’s good at it

Question 13

What is effected by amnesia ?

Answer 13

Declarative memory

Question 14

What is declarative memory broken down into?

Answer 14

Episodic (personal)

Semantic (facts and knowledge)

Question 15

What also isn’t affected by amnesia ?

Answer 15

Implicit memory

Priming and procedural

Question 16

What is semantic dementia ?

Answer 16

Trouble to remember the meaning of words and concepts

Question 17

What part of the brain is Semitic dementia associated with?

Answer 17

Lateral temple cortex

Left side

Question 18

Does vagha think people can acquire new memories ?

Answer 18

Yes , Beth job katie had impaired episodic memory
But completed normal schooling
Goes against declarative memory theory

Question 19

What is the theory of consolidation?

Answer 19

Hippocampus can bind info and allow it to be encoded into memory

Over time can retrieve without the use of hippocampus

Question 20

What is retrograde amnesia ?

Answer 20

Affects memories before amnesia

Question 21

What is the multi trace theory and who is it by?

Answer 21

Opponent to theory of consolidation

Every time you recall memory, you create more links between hippocampus and medial temporal lobe

Question 22

What is confabulation?

Answer 22

Misinterpreted distorted info

Question 23

What are the 2 abnormalities in protein development of dementia ?

Answer 23

Senile plaques - excess of b amyloid protein

Neurofibrillary tangles - Mia formed tau protein

Question 24

Where does b amyloid accumulate first ?

Answer 24

Posterior confidante cortex

And media pre frontal cortex

Question 25

What does b amyloid cause ?

Answer 25

Hyper metabolism - lower brain activity

Question 26

Where in the brain do you look for neurofibrillary tangles (tau ) when imaging?

Answer 26

Temporal lobes

Deans it of them correlated with memory loss more than b amyloid

Question 27

What are the interventions to improve lives of people with dementia?

Answer 27

Engage in motor memory

Increase cues at points of transmission or low activation

Encourage error monitoring

Question 28

What are the symbols for chromosome 19 (apoe)

Answer 28

E3/E4. E4/E4

Question 29

What is chromosome 19 responsible for?

Answer 29

Responsible for cholesterol
Protein change
Leads to dementia

Question 30

What are risk factors for dementia ?

Answer 30

High neuroticism
Chromosome 19,21, 14+1
Poor social network
Above 60 above 80
