100
Stress during retrieval generally leads to
impaired memory
100
Elaboration/deep processing increases ______ more than _____
Elaboration/deep processing increases _Recollection_ more than _Familiarity_
100
What brain areas are associated with priming? Bonus: which direction is the activation?
Right occipital lobe (and fusiform face area for faces) // B: Decrease
100
What were the findings from the study on highschoolers who had very early hippocampal damage?
No evidence of memory recovery, but they retained ability to learn semantic info about the world
100
______ is more disrupted by aging than ______
4 pair options: Recall more disrupted than recognition; associative recognition more than item recognition; recollection more than familiarity; explicit more than implicit
200
Post-encoding stress enhances _____ based recognition but did not affect _____
Post-encoding stress enhances _Familiarity_ based recognition but did not affect _Recollection_
200
Hippocampal damage alone disrupted ______ but Hippocampal + (aka larger MTL) damage disrupted _____
Hippocampal damage alone disrupted _Recollection_ but Hippocampal + (aka larger MTL) damage disrupted _Recollection and Familiarity_
200
What were the results of the perceptual identification experiment?
Generation (rather than just reading) helped explicit memory, but seemed to hurt perceptual implicit memory
200
Conceptual implicit memory is disrupted by damage to what area?
Perirhinal cortex
200
Parkinson's and Huntington's patients did poorly on _____ but were normal on ______
Parkinson's and Huntington's patients did poorly on _Tower of Toronto Task (skill learning)_ but were normal on _recall and recognition_
300
What are schema related distortions?
Our general knowledge about the world leads to distortions in memory; leveling (loss of atypical details) and sharpening (adding typical details)
300
What is the BIC model? Bonus: Which area does what in the model?
Binding of items and context; hippocampus binds items and context together // perihinal cortex represents items, parahippocampal cortex represents context
300
What is evidence for contamination of implicit/explicit memory in studies?
Deep levels of processing increased priming (usually implicit) but that’s probably due to contamination of explicit
300
What kind of lesions lead to isolated retrograde amnesia?
Inferior temporal lobe damage with preserved hippocampus
300
Alzheimer's disease is related to very early atrophy in what two areas?
Hippocampus and entorhinal cortex
400
Describe the results of the study about implanted memories for committing a crime
Using standard police interviewing techniques: no false memory reports on first day, but by week 3, 70% believed the false event occurred
400
Describe the perceptual fluency experiment and its effect on R and F
Participants studied words, then at test, either had the word flashed for 20ms (not consciously perceptible) or not; doing this increases F but not R
400
What are 4 functional characteristics of perceptual implicit memory?
o Requires very little attention o Slower forgetting than explicit o Sensitive to perceptual manipulations o Not sensitive to semantic manipulations o Susceptible to explicit contamination
400
Name 4 cognitive functions that are preserved in anterograde amnesia
o Perceptual abilities o Phonological STM o Semantic memory o Skill learning o Perceptual & conceptual implicit memory o Delay Conditioning o Complex perceptual stimuli o Familiarity
400
Name two brain-behavior correlations in aging
Hippocampal atrophy and white matter hyperintensities are correlated with explicit memory declines
