Memory and learning
9 important questions on Memory and learning
What is learning, memory and memory recall
Why do patients with amnesia provide info on memory?
Who is H.M.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the difference between pure type of amnesia and global type of amnesia?
What are the two types (and subtypes) of long term memory?
- episodic: events > storage in cortex, right frontal and temporal regions
- semantic: facts > storage in cortex and temporal lobes
Non declarative:
- skill learning: precedal memory > stored in basal canglia, motor cortex and cerebellum.
- priming: either perceptual (reduced act. in occipital lobe) or coneptual (reduced act. in frontal cortex)
- associative learning/conditioning: either simple (cerebral circuit) or complex (hippocampus and cortex).
- non associative learning: habituation, dishabituation and sensitisation
What are different types of short term memory
working memory: somewhat longer
short term memory: can eventually become long term
Explain primacy and recency effects with STM?
What are the four aspects of the memory system?
Consildation: info may be consildated into LTM
Retreival: stored info is retreived
Reconsolidation: retreived info in put in storage again
Is a memory permanent?
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
