Theories of Memory Flashcards
List the theories of Memory.
• Multi-Store Model of Memory (Stores: Sensory, Short term and Long-Term)
–> Serial Position Effect
• Levels of Processing (processing = deeper retention)
• Working Memory Model (Different sensory types of STM which are stored in STM or in Respective Sensory domains)
• Supervisory Attentional System (activation and suppression of memory in routine and non-routine situations)
What is the Serial Position effect?
Idea that separate STM and LTM exists, demonstrating Primacy and Recency effects (e.g. List)
Thought and action activated or suppressed in routine and non-routine situations is an example of which memory model?
A. Working Memory Model
B. Multi-Store Model of Memory
C. Levels of Processing Model
D. Supervisory Attentional System Model
D. Supervisory Attentional System Model
Memory having multiple systems for different types of input into the system as well as storage in numerous domains of STM (phonological loop and store), LTM and visuospatial scratch pad, is an example of which memory model?
A. Working Memory Model
B. Multi-Store Model of Memory
C. Levels of Processing Model
D. Supervisory Attentional System Model
A. Working Memory Model
The deeper information requires processing for a longer memory to last, is an example of which memory model?
A. Working Memory Model
B. Multi-Store Model of Memory
C. Levels of Processing Model
D. Supervisory Attentional System Model
C. Levels of Processing Model
Memory is the product of three stores of sensory register, short-term memory and long-term memory which can be developed through a rehearsal loop to facilitate recall, is an example of which memory model?
A. Working Memory Model
B. Multi-Store Model of Memory
C. Levels of Processing Model
D. Supervisory Attentional System Model
B. Multi-Store Model of Memory
What are of the brain is involved in attention, STM and LTM?
A. Medial temporal lobe
B. Pre-frontal cortex
C. Occipital lobe
D. Parietal lobe
B. Pre-frontal cortex
What are of the brain is involved in conscious learning and episodic memory?
A. Medial temporal lobe
B. Pre-frontal cortex
C. Occipital lobe
D. Parietal lobe
A. Medial temporal lobe
Give a region of the brain which is highly important in procedural memory.
Basal Ganglia: Sub-cortical system essential to memory function; striatum (neostriaum) important in formation and retrieval of procedural memory
Give a region of the brain which is highly important in processing memory of emotional reactions, social and sexual behaviour.
Amygdala: Processing memory of emotional reactions and social and sexual behavior as well as smell
What is the eponymous name of the Medial Limbic Circuit linking the Hippocampus, Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Thalamus and Mamillary body?
Papez Circuit
