Front 3

H.M. appears incapable of forming new long-term ___________ memories.

Back 3

Explicit

Front 4

Support for the view that hippocampal damage can by itself cause amnesia comes from the study or R.B., who suffered ____________ damage to the pyramidal cells of his CA1 hippocampal subfield.

Back 4

Ischemia

Front 5

The current view is that damage to the diencephalon ______________ is responsible for most of the memory deficits of people with Korsakoff's syndrome.

Back 5

Medial

Front 6

The gradual onset of Korsakoff's syndrome complicates the study of the resulting _____________ amnesia.

Back 6

Retrograde

Front 7

The _____________ nuclei are the medial diencephalic nuclei that have been most frequently implicated in memory.

Back 7

Mediodorsal

Front 8

Alzheimer's disease is associated with degeneration of ___________ neurons in the basal forebrain.

Back 8

Cholinergic

Front 9

Posttraumatic amnesia can be induced with _____________ shock, which is used in the treatment of depression.

Back 9

Electroconvulsive

Front 10

The transfer of memory from short-term storage to long-term storage is termed _____________.

Back 10

Consolidation

Front 11
