Forming a Memory
The first process in forming a memory
What is encoding stage?
Attention, goal planning, and problem solving are dependent on these two brain regions.
<Tree> Do nothing.
<House> Do nothing.
<Zombie> Shoot!
<Cat> Do nothing.
This is an example of what type of n-back test?
What is 0-back?
Type of conditioning that associates a neutral stimulus with another to create a naturally occurring response.
What is classical conditioning?
Vivid long-lasting memories from an emotional or shocking event.
What is flashbulb memory?
The second process in forming a memory
The bouncer for the frontal cortex.
What is the basal ganglia?
Umbrella term for collection of complex functions that are solved by the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia.
What are executive functions?
Events that decrease the
probability that the response will occur again.
What is punishment?
The loss of the ability to form new memory after the brain damage.
What is anterograde amnesia?
The third process in forming a memory
What is retrieval stage?
The two major brain regions that both explicit and short term memory rely on.
What are the prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia?
<Tree> Do nothing.
<Cat> Do nothing.
<Zombie> Do Nothing
<Cat> Shoot!
<Zombie> Shoot!
This is an example of what type of n-back test?
What is 2-back?
Events that increase the
probability that the response will occur again.
What are reinforcers?
The loss of memory events prior to the occurrence of the brain damage
What is retrograde amnesia?
Freely accessible type of memory
What is explicit memory?
The function in the basal ganglia that mirrors creating a memory.
What is controlling movements outputs by the motor cortex?
<Tree> Do nothing.
<House> Do nothing.
<Zombie> Do Nothing
<Zombie> Shoot!
This is an example of what type of n-back test?
What is 1-back?
Responses are
followed by reinforcement or punishment
that either strengthen or weaken the
behavior
What is operant conditioning?
Type of storage of memories for long term that are not actively maintained but easily retrieved.
What is long term memory?
This type of memory is not easily verbalized.
What is implicit memory?
The section of the brain where the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia lie.
What are frontal lobes?
The type of memory that n-back tests.
What is working memory?
What is pavlov's experiment?
Type of memory where small amounts of information can be temporarily kept to be understood.
What is short term memory?
