frontal lobes
cerebellum
forming and storing implicit memories made in classical conditioning
formation of procedural memories happens where?
basal ganglia
where are explicit memories for storage processed?
hippocampus
neural basis for learning and memory?
long term potentiation (ltp) - increase in cell firing potential after rapid stimulation
what makes neural transmissions more efficient?
serotonin
context effects
context of location helps remember
proactive interference

retroactive interference
new learning disrupts recall of old information
positive transfer
