Elsey & Kindt
16 important questions on Elsey & Kindt
The past century has seen radical shifts in the way we conceptualize and treat mental disorders. What has been a recent shift?
understanding mechanisms of change in treatment and neural underpinnings of the disorder are crucial if we want to optimize treatments
What is a key feature in a lot of mental disorders (from PTSD to addiction)
What is difficult in studying maladaptive emotional memories
Certain changes in preparation of participants and the specificies of what occurs in the reactivation session can affect treatment outcomes in unpredictable ways, so deeper understanding of what happens after administering propranolol after frightening experience is needed.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is one hypothesis about reconsolidation about
Why are our tools for understanding prediction error and the destabilization of maladaptice memories not optimal
What happens when prediction error occurs
What do several findings indicate about longer memory reactivations
Other studies demonstrate that the induction of reconsolidation is a balancing act. What do they mean with this
Some research on reconsolidation has proposed that older or stronger memories may prove invulnerable to disruption. How do studies see this now
What is hard in clinical practice
Criteria for the demonstration of reconsolidation derived from animal studies that we suggest can be meaningfully applied to human research are
2) time dependent effects of the manipulation
3)memory specificity
4) a dissociation of immediate and delayed effects of the intervention
What is important to maintain between researchers and clinicians
What do experimental studies in human also show (due to reconsolidation)
It may be worth considering whether reconsolidation based procedures should be supplemented with additional learning experiences to cement improvement in symptoms over the long term. Give an example of this
Where can disruption of reconsolidation be used for
What happens when disruption of reconsolidation is used to reduce likelihood of maladaptive memory retrieval
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
