Process of converting short term to long term memory
|
CONSOLIDATION
|
|
Can improve memory with what?
|
emotional response, adrenaline, or noradrenaline
|
|
post traumatic stress syndrome
|
sometimes memory for traumatic event is too strong
|
|
Declarative memory is located where
|
Medial temporal love; diencephalon
(hypothalamus and thalamus) |
|
Declarative memory is also called what
|
EXPLICIT memory
Facts and events |
|
Nondeclaratie memory includes
|
Procedural memory (skills and habits)
|
|
Where is procedural memory produced?
|
Striatum
|
|
Classical condition (nondeclarative learning)
|
skeletal muscle (cerebellum)
Emotional response (amygdala) |
|
Nondeclarative memory is also known as
|
IMPLICIT MEMORY
|
|
S.
|
Limitless memory, everything went from short to long term memory there was no filtering
|
|
Synesthesia
|
Crumbly yellow voice
Cross senses |
|
To remember EVERYTHING must overcome
|
Filtering of unimportant or uninteresting events
|
|
DARK side of LIMITLESS memory
|
difficulty forgetting things, difficulty distinguishing reality and fantasy, most MNEMOISTS don't have this problem
|
|
SAVANTS
|
Combination of limited mental abilities and extraordinary memories, yet poor cognitive abilities, can't do simple things
|
|
Are exceptional memories innate
|
Takes practice. There is little difference between exceptional memories and those who acquired them. SKILLED MEMORY
|
|
RETROGRADE AMNESIA
|
Can't remember past memories
|
|
ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA
|
can't form new memories
|
|
Patient HM had what disorder
|
epilepsy. result: remove both sides of medial temporal lobe (bilateral labotemy)
|
|
HM removal of medial temporal love what part of memory was largely preserved
|
Nondeclarative
Including procedural memory (striatum), skeletal musculature (cerebellum) and emotional response (amygdala) |
|
HM shows improvement in what areas?
|
nondeclarative motor and perceptual tasks (mirror and drawing)
|
|
HM has a specific deficit in what kind of memory
|
declarative
|
|
What structure is activated after declarative learning (facts and events)?
|
HIPPOCAMPUS
|
|
Hippocampus is not the sight of long-term memory
|
not required for retrieval of long term memory
|
|
Hippocampus is not needed for short-term
|
rather, it is needed to convert SHORT-term to LONG-term
|
|
Hippocampus is required for what form of memory
|
DECLARATIVE
|
|
The more these structures are stimulated during learning, the better you will remember it
|
Perirhinal cortex and PARAhippocampal cortex
|
|
Most common reason for retrograde amnesia
|
STROKE
|
|
Closed head injury induces what
|
profound retrograde amnesia which shrinks in time as they recover. Loss of memory is eventually only for accident. Soccer
|
|
DEMENTIA
|
both anteriogradea and retrograde amnesia
|
|
AIDS and Alzheimers are associated with
|
DEMENTIA
|
|
Korsakoff's
|
Low thiamin (B1) with alcoholism (poor diet)- global amnesia (both)
|
|
Korsakoff's structure
|
medial basal thalamus
Mamillary body |
|
Jet lag shrinks hippocampus
|
deduce: conversion from short to long term reduced.
