priming cues::
declarative v nondeclarative (procedural) |
nondeclarative (procedural)
|
|
|
working memory::
AKA: requires (2) to persist |
AKA: short term memory
Requires reactivation and rehearsal to persist |
|
|
long term memory requires consolidation to be established.
What is consolidation? |
Memory consolidation is the transfer of immediate or short-term memory to long-term memory
requires rehearsal or practice to be established |
|
|
actual physical storage site of memory in the neuronal machinery is thought to be a change in
|
synaptic connectivity
|
|
|
innate memory
|
Innate memory that is not learned from experience but past down through natural selection i.e.evolution
(ex: newborn monkeys fear SNAKES) |
|
|
three temporal scales of memory::
|
immediate (< s), short-term memory (min), and long-term memory (hours – lifetime).
|
|
|
Priming is::
|
change in the PROCESSING of a STIMULUS due to a PREVIOUS encounter with the same or related stimulus even when you are unaware of the previous exposure
|
|
|
3 things that improve memory retention
|
1.associational strategies
2.assignment of meaning to data 3.emotion meaning/motivation |
|
|
___ conditioning is a process where a previously unrelated insignificant (conditioned) stimulus is associated with a rewarding (unconditioned) stimulus that produces a behavioral (unconditioned) response
|
classical (Pavlovian)
|
|
|
______ conditioning is a process where a subject learns to produce a behavior in order to receive a reward or avoid a punishment.
|
operant (skinner)
|
|
|
extinction
|
If the conditioned animal performs the desired response but the reward is no longer provided, the conditioning gradually disappears
|
|
|
anterograde v reterograde amensia
|
Anterograde: difficulty forming new long term declarative memories.
Retrograde: difficulty in recall memories from the past, typically memories from before a brain insult |
|
|
Based on several anterograde amnesia patient studies, structures important for the formation of long term memories are
|
hippocampus +associated subcortical structures
mammillary bodies mid dorsal thalamus |
|
|
hippocampus is essential for the formation of long-term memories but not for
|
storage or recall of long-term memories
|
|
|
Storage of declarative memories appears to be
|
distributed over the neocortex
|
|
|
reterograde amnesia caused by ECT can be reduced by
|
restricting ECT to one hemisphere
(ECT =electroconvulsive therapy) |
|
|
Affected by damage to basal ganglia, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, sensory associational cortices and cerebellum
declarative v nondeclarative (procedural) |
nondeclarative (procedural)
|
|
|
Individuals with Huntington’s disease (striatal damage) or Parkinson’s disease (striatal dysfunction because of dopamine loss) both show ______ learning impairment
|
motor skill learning impairment (procedural memory)
|
|
|
Loss of memory with aging can be compensated by the
|
utilization of regions of the brain not previously used for memory recall in youth
|
|
|
most prevalent disease contributing to senile dementia
|
alzheimer's
|
|
|
alzheimer's associated with build up of (2)
|
amyloid plaque
neurofibrillary tanges |
