On one condition
Conditioning that occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
What is classical conditioning?
_________ memories are consolidated into ________ memories

Part of the brain important for declarative memory
What is the hippocampus?
Patient HM had his _______ removed to prevent seizures.
What is hippocampus?
This part of the brain is important for learned fears

Type of learning in which behavior is influenced by its consequences
What is operant conditioning?
_______ amnesia is a loss of previously established memories and ________ is an inability to make new memories.
What is retrograde; anterograde?
Cells in the hippocampus that fire when a rat is a specific place?
What are place cells?
This type of memory for personal events and experiences was massively impaired in HM.

What is Alzheimer's disease?
HM could still learn this _________.
What is motor skills/procedural learning?
Important for associative learning, especially types that require accurate timing
