Wk 9: Memory Flashcards
Long term memory is divided into declarative (explicit) and non-declarative (implicit) memory.
Which is responsible for episodic and semantic memory and which is responsible for priming, skill learning and conditioning?
Declarative (explicit) memory is responsible for episodic and semantic memory, whereas non-declarative (implicit) memory is responsible for priming, skill learning and conditioning.
Define episodic and semantic memory
Episodic memory are specific events remembered, “when”, whereas semantic memories are generalised memories not attached to a specific event, such as facts.
Word stem completion is an example of what type of memory test?
an implicit memory test
Which memory test provides the most environmental support and the least need for self-initiation: cued recall, recognition or free recall?
Recognition
Tell me any word beginning with D. What type of memory test is this?
An implicit memory test
Whilst in an fMRI, a subject is presented with a list of words and then asked to recall the list. Experimenters can then go back to view what was happening in the brain during the successful encoding of the remembered words. This experimental technique is called s_________ ___________ paradigm
Subsequent memory paradigm
Which cortices do memory traces begin in, and how does the hippocampus combine the traces together?
Sensory cortices. The hippocampus creates an index that combines the traces together.
More semantic and phonological processing would be seen in which gyrus for remembered items during a subsequent memory paradigm?
There would also be more activation in which parts of the temporal and parietal lobes?
Inferior frontal gyrus
Medial temporal lobe and dorsal parietal lobe
Define explicit (declarative) and implicit (non-declarative) memory
Explicit memories can be intentionally and consciously recalled, whereas implicit memories are experiential such as how to ride a bike
