Question 1

memory trace, physical basis of a stored mem.

Answer 1

engram

Question 2

info processing ocurrers in parallel across a large number of distributed units

Answer 2

parallel distribulted processing model

Question 3

mem damage more likley for new memories

Answer 3

ribots law

Question 4

Declarative memories start out as connections between hippocampal and cortical neurons. Hippocampal neurons hold a unified account of a memory, over time representations become cortically represented and no longer need the hippocampus.

Answer 4

standard consolidation

Question 5

Each time a memory is reactivated, a new memory trace is laid down through the hippocampus. Remote/rehearsed memories will have more traces because they have been reactivated more often.

Answer 5

multiple trace theory

Question 6

hen one node in a network is activated, surrounding nodes are also more likely to become activated. Activation of one idea activated others

Answer 6

speading activation model

Question 7

Priming alters a pre-existing memory representation. Priming activates nodes in a network; subsequent exposures are processed more efficiently due to this first activation.

Answer 7

modification theory

Question 8

Priming leads to new representations of stimuli.

Answer 8

aquisition theroy

Question 9

Learning to classify stimuli or make decisions based on statistical information. Ex. Weather-Prediction Task: (People eventually learn these tentative relationships, despite the fact that no explicit rule exists.) Cog Skill learning in striatum, medial-temp lobe.

Answer 9

probablistic classification learning

Question 10

Hippocampus mediates memory for spatial relations among objects in the environment. Rodents have hippocampal place cells that are activated in specific locations in the environment.

Answer 10

cognitive map theory

Question 11

The hippocampus is critical for all forms of episodic memory

Answer 11

episodic mem theroy

Question 12

Perirhinal cortex and lateral entorhinal cortex are involved with memory for items [what, ventral]. Parahippocampal and medial entorhinal cortex are involved with memory for context [where, dorsal]. The hippocampus is involved with both systems.

Answer 12

in item contex theroy

Question 13

Memory success is a function of the overlap between encoding and retrieval operations.

Answer 13

transfer appropriate processing

Question 14

Conceptual knowledge is organized by sensory (form, colour, etc.) and functional (movements, uses, etc.) properties of the objects or concepts

Answer 14

sensory/functional therory

Question 15

This theory suggests that concepts are organized by semantic category rather than by sensory properties. Only for important concepts.

Answer 15

domain specific theory

Question 16

researchers compare encoding-related activity for items that were remembered versus those that were forgotten.

Answer 16

sybsequent memory paradigm

Question 17

mental state of episodic retrieval (the retrieval of episodic memories) which is assumed to be qualitatively different from the mental states of other cognitive abilities.

Answer 17

retrieval mode

Question 18

Remembering to perform a planned action at the appropriate time.

Answer 18

prospective memory

Question 19

brain damage where language is effected

Answer 19

aphasia

Question 20

robot-like speach

Answer 20

aprosodia

Question 21

when one word getting activated activates others as well

Answer 21

expectancy induced priming

Question 22

words slurred together j’amie

Answer 22

coarticulated

Question 23

An inability to form normal syntax.

Answer 23

agrammatic aphasia

Question 24

this circuit involves brain areas connected to the hypothalamus. Hypothal—>anterior thal—>cingulate gyrus—>hippocamp—>hypothal

Answer 24

papez circuit

Question 25

damage to anterior temp that includes lack of appreciation for the motivational significance of objects in the environment, hyperorality and altered sexual behaviour

Answer 25

Kulver-Bucy syndrome

Question 26

sweat

Answer 26

galvantic skin responce

Question 27

VMPFC links factual knowledge and information about ANS, endocrine, and musculoskeletal changes associated with an event. When a similar event occurs, these ‘____’ are retrieved. The VMPFC triggers reactivation of the somatosensory pattern by stimulating emotional structures such as the amygdala. Tested with Iowa gambling task.

Answer 27

semantic market hypoth

Question 28

basilateral amyg is NB for ________ processing in other brain regions to enhance retention of emotional events. Epinep and Norepinep [Active beta-adrenergic receptors in the PNS. The resulting signals are carried to the brainstem via the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves. The brainstem then projects to the hypothalamus, amygdala, and other emotional structures.]

Answer 28

memory modulation hypoth

Question 29

A moderate amount of stress or emotion helps memory. Too much or too little emotion impairs memory.

Answer 29

Yerkes-Dodson Law

Question 30

_____ (Initial transfer (or stabilization) of memory from short-term to long-term memory. ) ________ (The reorganization of the brain’s representation of an episode. The brain region necessary for post-encoding memory is no longer needed to preserve that memory. )

Answer 30

synaptic consolidation and system consolidation

Question 31

Items are stored in ‘memory space’ in which relationships are coded by overlapping cues. Neurons don’t represent a global topography. Neurons represent relationships amongst cues. taught rats to choose cups that were associated with odors that had been differentially rewarded.

Answer 31

Relational Memory Theory

Question 32

Roughly speaking, the effect is characterized by a warping of perceptual space such that acoustic patterns near phonemic cate- gory centers are perceived as closer together than equally spaced acoustic patterns that are further away from phonemic category centers

Answer 32

Perceptual Magnet theory

Question 33

when stimulus repeated, neurons that arn’t essential fire less and the responce gets quicker

Answer 33

sharpening model of priming
