Glutamate
IDENTIFICATION:
The partial or complete loss of memory due to brain injury or trauma.
Amnesia
IDENTIFICATION:
This enables us to recognize objects and events and to make inferences about their properties.

Autobiographical Memory
IDENTIFICATION:
Fill in the blanks are type of exams that is an example of ___ encoding.
Deep Processing

It includes all possible examples of a particular concept.
Category
TRUE OR FALSE:
Emotion is linked to improved memory consolidation.
TRUE
IDENTIFICATION:
Sleep facilitates
Consolidation
IDENTIFICATION:
In implicit emotional memory, the ___ is more active
Amygdala
TRUE OR FALSE:
The standard for the ___ involves many examples. These are actual members of category that a person encountered in the past.
Exemplar approach
IDENTIFICATION:
Highly emotional event surrounding a public memory or how we heard about the event.
Flashbulb Memory
TRUE OR FALSE:
Memories are subjective and may not represent facts or reality.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
Visual and Auditory coding occurs in both the STM and LTM
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
Consolidation happens during sleep.
TRUE
IDENTIFICATION:
“I know a shortcut to get to the coffee shop the fastest. I might still find my tumbler.” This is what type of memory?
Semantic Memory
IDENTIFICATION:
The better way to establish long-term memories.
Elaborative Rehearsal
IDENTIFICATION:
It was your first love and so much has happened and the relationship have been so emotional, the process the goes with memory is called__.
Mood-Congruent Memory
IDENTIFICATION:
What people report as memories are changed based on what actually happened plus additional factors.
Constructive Nature Memory

b. Forming visual images
c. Persistence of Vision
d. Generating information
c. Persistence of Vision
IDENTIFICATION:
The presentation of one stimulus affects responses to a stimulus that follows.
Priming
TRUE OR FALSE:
Bias is a type of memory error that concerns forgetting.
FALSE
IDENTIFICATION:
Result in difficulty retrieving previously stored memory.
