Nondeclarative

Question 1

Priming

Answer 1

Processing of stimuli is faster the 2nd time. Even if not consciously observed first time. Neocortex

Question 2

Perceptual priming

Answer 2

Weaker response after second time. Like the dalmatier. Sensory cortex involved. Sharpening theory: Less activity the second time as only relevant neurons will fire (repetition suppression.)

Question 3

Conceptual priming

Answer 3

Semantically related (in meaning). Repetition suppression in left inferior gyrus (lFG). Faster connection due to closeness of mental lexatical

Question 4

Semantic priming

Answer 4

Indirect priming with semantic related. lATL is semantic region. Spreading activation: When making decision if two are related, less time with related. Activates other words (networks)

Question 5

Skill learning

Answer 5

Longer time, Basal ganglia responsible for fast and accurate integration. Indep. of MTL and hippocamp.
Motor, perception and cognitive skills

Question 6

Motor skill learning

Answer 6

Life long learning, tested with two tests:

SRT: RT of sequence of lights. Practice leads to faster reaction

Motor adaptation, adjust w force and with TMS at parietal it’s worse, meaning PC uses sensory info for eye movements

Question 7

Perceptual learning

Answer 7

Like mirror writing. Indep of MTL and hippo, based on basal and sensory cortex.

Greebles; Activation of FFA. Also with cars so more visual expertise then just faces.

Question 8

Cognitive skill learning

Answer 8

weather prediction task. Rule underlying the cards, can be learnt but hard bc probabilistic. You get better over time (not conscious). MTL damage too. Basal ganglia loops
