Remote Memory Models Flashcards
The kind of memory that is the main focus of Moscovitch et al.’s 2006 review is referred to as:
A. implicit memory
B. remote memory
C. episodic memory
D. semantic memory
B. remote memory
Moscovitch et al.’s 2006 review describes 3 models of the processes by which:
A. Semantic memories are stored and subsequently retrieved.
B. Repetition and semantic priming produce remote implicit memories.
C. Implicit memories become explicit memories accessible through declarative processes.
D. New memories gradually become temporally enduring memories.
D. New memories gradually become temporally enduring memories.
Which of the following is true of the cognitive map theory as described in Moscovitch et al.’s 2006 review?
A. The MTL is thought to mediate most types of episodic, but not most types of semantic memory, because spatial context is an integral part of episodes, but not of semantic representations.
B. The MTL system is thought of as maintaining an egocentric spatial representation of the environment that can be used to retain and retrieve memories.
C. The ventral visual stream is thought of as maintaining an allocentric spatial representation of the environment that can be used to retain and retrieve memories.
D. The MTL is thought to mediate most types of semantic, but not most types of episodic memory, because spatial context is an integral part of semantic memories, but not of episodic representations.
A. The MTL is thought to mediate most types of episodic, but not most types of semantic memory, because spatial context is an integral part of episodes, but not of semantic representations.
Which of the following is true of the standard consolidation theory as described in Moscovitch et al.’s 2006 review?
A. The theory posits that the medial temporal lobe is needed for the consolidation of episodic but not semantic memory.
B. The theory predicts that retrograde amnesia associated with medial temporal lobe damage should be temporally graded such that more remote memories are affected more than more recent memories.
C. The theory predicts that retrograde amnesia associated with medial temporal lobe damage should be temporally graded such that more recent memories are affected more than more remote memories.
D. The theory posits that the medial temporal lobe is needed for the consolidation of semantic but not episodic memory.
C. The theory predicts that retrograde amnesia associated with medial temporal lobe damage should be temporally graded such that more recent memories are affected more than more remote memories.
Which of the following IS NOT CONSISTENT with the multiple trace theory as described in Moscovitch et al.’s 2006 review?
A. Episodes from very far in the past can be remembered without involvement of the medial temporal lobe.
B. Facts associated with old episodes that can be remembered without any contextual information do not rely upon medial temporal lobe functions.
C. Medial temporal lobe damage affects old memories less than newer memories because old memories are more widely distributed in the medial temporal lobe.
D. Each time an episode is remembered it is re-encoded with new representations in the medial temporal lobe structures.
A. Episodes from very far in the past can be remembered without involvement of the medial temporal lobe.
Which of the following is consistent with the multiple trace theory as described in Moscovitch et al.’s 2006 review?
A. medial temporal lobe function is not required for maintenance of semantic memory
B. medial temporal lobe function is required for maintenance of semantic but not episodic memories
C. Even memory for facts associated with old episodes that can be remembered without any contextual information relies upon medial temporal lobe functions.
D. medial temporal lobe function is required for maintenance of both episodic and semantic memories
A. medial temporal lobe function is not required for maintenance of semantic memory
Which of the following is more consistent with standard consolidation (SC) theory than multiple trace theory (MTT)?
A. Every recollection of an event re-encodes it in a somewhat different set of traces within medial temporal lobe.
B. Even vivid memories for events that occurred a long time ago are less dependent on medial temporal lobe (MTL) functions than vivid memories for recent events
C. Hippocampal traces bind neocortical traces together into a representation that can be used to recreate – or re-experience – an event or episode.
D. Remembering autobiographical episodes from one’s distant past requires medial temporal lobe function.
B. Even vivid memories for events that occurred a long time ago are less dependent on medial temporal lobe (MTL) functions than vivid memories for recent events
