Memory Study Guide Flashcards
Declarative memory has 4 types of memory. What are they?
Short-term memory
Long-term memory
Spatial memory
Working memory
Short-term, Long-term and spatial memory are encoded in specific brain regions. What are they?
Medial temporal lobe, particularly the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus.
The entorhinal cortex and hippocampus have specific types of cells in them. What are they?
Entorhinal cortex = grid cells
Hippocampus = place cells
The mouse in the box experiment uses this brain regions, what are they?
Entorhinal cortex (grid cells) and hippocampus (place cells)
The radial arm maze and VR driving activates what brain region?
The hippocampus, particularly posterior for the VR driving
Working memory relies upon two brain regions. What are they?
PFC and LIP
What experiments or tasks are associated with the PFC or LIP?
Face matching task, Delayed response task and Delayed saccade task
Non-declarative memory has 3 major types, what are they?
Associative memory, non-associative memory, procedural memory.
Procedural memory utilizes these brain regions?
Striatum, cerebellum, and motor cortex
Which tasks specifically activated procedural memory?
The mirror-tracing (star-tracing) task
Non-associative memory has two main types, what are they?
Habituation and senitization.
How do habituation and sensitization differ?
Habituation is a weaker response to the same stimulus while sensitization is a stronger response to the same stimulus (think of the sea slug)
Non-associative memory activates this particular region?
Reflex pathways (think of the sea slug)
What two tasks/experiments activated the non-associative memory?
repeated mild stimulus and the repeated noxious stimulus
Associative memory has two types, what are they?
Classical/Pavlovian conditioning and operant/instrumental conditioning
