Memory Retrival
Associations that occur without our awareness.
What is Priming
The process of synaptic connections between neurons becoming enhanced with frequent activation.
What is long term potentiation?
Our attention on high priority information.
What is tunnel vision?
Responsible for the formation and recall of explicit memories.
What is the hippocampus?
Deep brain structures involved in motor movement, facilitate the formation of our procedural memories for skills.
What is the Basal Ganglia?
Being able to recall the first and last items in a list.
What is the serial position effect?
Synapse number increasing when experience and learning takes place.
What is synaptic growth?
Emotions also provoke the -------- to release hormones.
What is the Amygdala?
Part of the frontal lobe, receives input from different parts of the brain when recalling explicit memories.
What is the prefrontal cortex?
Responsible for processing emotions, mainly fear - emotional significance is attached to memories.
What is the amygdala?
Being in a certain state(like a certain mood) that can help enhance memory.

What is the left frontal lobe?
A conscious recall of a specific personal experience, what happened and where and when it happened.
What is episodic memory?
Memory being enhanced due to a same context situation.
What is context-dependent memory?
Observations of the synaptic changes in the neurons of a slug.
What is Eric Kandel's experiment?
The tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one’s current good or bad mood.
What is mood congruent theory?
Non-Verbal/Visual Events, ex. Remembering the face of a relative.
What is the right frontal lobe?
Known as the "save button"
What is the Hippocampus?
Being confused due to different context scenarios.
What is context-dependent memory?
Axon guidance and synapse formation.
What is synaptogenesis?
Idea that memories are linked to the context they are created in.
What is encoding specificity prinicple?
Forms implicit (unconscious) memories and conditioned reflexes from classical conditioning.
What is the Cerebellum?
The explicit recall of ideas, concepts and facts commonly regarded as general knowledge.
What is semantic memory?
