Week 7-LTM

Question 1

Conscious Awareness

Answer 1

Answer 2

Explicit memory tests

Question 3

Non-conscious Awareness

Answer 3

Nondeclarative Memory

Question 4

Test used for non-conscious awareness

Answer 4

Implicit memory tests

Question 5

LTM

Answer 5

Declarative &

Non-declarative

Question 6

Declarative memory

Answer 6

• Episodic memory

- semantic memory

Question 7

Non-Declarative Memory

Answer 7

• procedural memory
• priming
• classical conditioning
• habituation, sensitization

Question 8

Brain region for declarative memory

Answer 8

Medial temporal lobe (diencephalon)

Question 9

Brain region for procedural memory

Answer 9

Basal ganglia

Question 10

Brain region for priming

Answer 10

Neocortex

Question 11

Brain region for classical conditioning

Answer 11

Amygdala, cerebellum

Question 12

Brain region for habituation, sensitization

Answer 12

Reflex pathways

Question 13

Encoding

Answer 13

Process of acquiring information and transferring to LTM

Question 14

Retrieval

Answer 14

Bringing info into consciousness by transferring it from LTM to working memory

Question 15

Maintenance rehearsal

Answer 15

Don’t consider meaning or make connections w other info-poor memory

Question 16

Elaborative rehearsal

Answer 16

Relate info to something meaningful (phone number is same date as bday)

Question 17

Paired-associate learning

Answer 17

Picture words together your trying to remember

Question 18

Self-reference effect

Answer 18

Relate the info to yourself

Question 19

Retrieval cue

Answer 19

Word/stimulus that helps remember stored memory

Question 20

Testing effect

Answer 20

Enhanced performance due to retrieval practice

Question 21

Levels of processing theory

Answer 21

Memory depends on depth of processing.

• shallow
• deep

Question 22

Three levels of processing

Answer 22

• shallow (physical features of word)
• rhyme? (Deeper)
• fit in sentence? (Deepest)

Question 23

Elaborate

Answer 23

Transfers material to LTM by giving it meaning relating to other info you kno

Question 24

Proactive interference

Answer 24

Memory effect when previously learned info interferes w new info (bond characters)

Question 25

Encoding specificity

Answer 25

We encode info along w it’s context (sights/sounds around you)

Can better recall stimuli in same environment (diving vs on land)

Question 26

Transfer-appropriate processing

Answer 26

Better performance when type of processing matches in encoding and retrieval

Question 27

Cued recall vs free recall

Answer 27

Retrieval cues (words/phrases) vs just asked to recall stimuli

Question 28

State-dependent learning

Answer 28

Learning associated with particular internal state (happy/sad) is better when in same mood

Question 29

Consolidation

Answer 29

Process that transforms new memories from a fragile state to permanent state

Question 30

Synaptic vs systems consolidation

Answer 30

Min-hours, structural changes at synapse

Months-years, gradual reorganization of neural circuits in brain

Occur together

Question 31

LTP long-term potentiation

Answer 31

Enhanced firing of neurons after repeated stimulation

Outcome of strengthening synaptic transmission

Question 32

Standard model of consolidation

Answer 32

Hippocampus involved in encoding new memories and connects w higher cortical areas
