-reconstructing past experiences of neurons involved in original exp fired at same time
-ability to encode, store, retain and recall info from past experiences
What is memory?
100
-cannot be replaced after being lost
-consists of soma (contains cell nucleus), dendrites (long filaments which form “dendritic tree” used for receiving brain waves), and axon (extremely long cellular filament)
What is neuron?
100
-Ability to remember and process information at the same time
-Information will disappear, must make conscious effort to retain it.
What is Short-term Memory?
100
What are the 4 different types of encoding?
What is Acoustic, Visual, Tactile, Semantic?
100
What memory involves the aural stimuli?
What is echoic memory?
200
-in charge of processing info from smell and sound
-key role in formation of long-term memories
What is Temporal lobe?
200
-Buffer for stimuli through the 5 senses, accurately but briefly
-Can’t be prolonged through rehearsal
-Shortest-term memory
What is sensory memory?
200
-serve as temporary store for short-term memory
(Hint: What part of the brain)
What is Central executive and prefrontal cortex?
200
In memory process, memorable event causes neurons to fire more, making experience more intense and memorable. What brain part(s) is responsible for this?
What is Thalamus and frontal lobe?
200
What are the 2 main methods to access memory?
What is recall and retrieval?
300
-conscious thought
-processes short-term memory
What is Frontal lobe?
300
What is the first step in creating memory
What is encoding?
300
-Central executive control 2 neural loops
What is visual sketch-pad and phonological loop?
300
Memory Consolidation consists of 2 specific processes. What are they?
What is synaptic consolidation and system consolidation?
300
-encoded by the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex and perirhinal cortex
(Hint: what kind of memory, [LTM])
What is declarative memories?
400
-includes hippocampus, amygdala, cingulate gyrus, thalamus, hpothalamus, epithalamus, mammillary body
-all key factors in memory processing
What is Limbic System?
400
-takes place during memory encoding and retrieval
-achieved by using a combination of chemicals and electricity
What is Information Transmission?
400
phonologically similar in sound
What is Semantic category?
400
-ability of the connection/synapse between two neurons to change the strength or for the changes to happen in how efficient the synaptic transmission
What is synaptic plasticity?
400
-encoded and stored by the cerebellum, putamen, caudate nucleus and the motor cortex
(Hint: what kind of memory, [LTM]
What is procedural memory?
500
Name is 9 parts of your brain that is involved in memory
What is Frontal lobe, prefrontal cortex, Parietal lobe, Temporal lobe, Occipital lobe, Cerebellum, Medial temporal lobe, Hippocampus, Amygdala?
500
-cause connections between neurons to change over time - -brain will change physical structure with every new experience/remembered event
(Hint: Neurons)
What is synapses?
500
-organization of material into shorter meaningful groups
What is Chunking?
500
What are the 2 main methods to access memory?
What is Recognition and Recall?
500
Long term memory is often divided into two types...
What are the types?
What is declarative (explicit) memory and procedural (implicit) memory?
