Pattern separation

Answer 1

process that parses similar events into more distinct, non-overlapping representations. Believed to take place in encoding. You encode details even if they’re overlapping that allows you to differentiate events. (occurs in hippocampus)

Question 2

Pattern completion

Answer 2

Process that interacts with partial information to reconstruct a complete event. (occurs in hippocampus)

Question 3

Medial Temporal Lobe

Answer 3

Believed to be responsible for binding features into an integrated memory trace. receives highly processed input from many brain areas when an event is encoded.

Question 4

Content addressable memory

Answer 4

retrieval cue often consists of some of the input processed at encoding.
