learning

Question 6

rentention and retrieval of learned info

Answer 6

memory

Question 7

learning procedure whereby a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response because of its repeated pairing with some relevant event

Answer 7

pavlovian or classical conditioning

Question 8

a stimulus that unconditionally- naturally and automatically- triggers a new response (salivating for food)

Answer 8

unconditioned stimulus

Question 9

in pavlonian conditioning an originally neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus triggers conditioned response (salivation to bell instead of food (natural))

Answer 9

conditioned stimulus

Question 10

learning procedure in which the consequences of a particular behavior increase or decrease the prob. of the behavior occuring again

Answer 10

operant conditioning (instrumental)

Question 11

compared to pavlovian/ classical , operant conditioning is

Answer 11

purposeful and goal-directed

Answer 13

6

Question 14

area 6 (in cortex) projects back to

Answer 14

Question 17

lesions to the striatum show what type of disruption

Answer 17

disruption to procedural memory

Question 18

in the modified radial arm they use lighted arms to show where food is; this requires the ____ to pair the light arm with the food in that arm

Answer 18

striatum

Question 19

as trials progress, cells in the striatum will fire less at the action directly proceeding the reward and instead striatum will fire at

Answer 19

beginning and end (shows mapping habit)

Question 20

temporary information storage; requires rehearsal and has limited capacity

Answer 20

working memory

Question 21

what brain region controls working memory

Answer 28

retrograde amnesia

Question 29

inability to form new memories

Answer 29

anterograde amnesia

episodic

Question 36

the effects temporal lobectomy caused what kind of amnesia in HM

Answer 36

anterograde

Question 37

HM had impaired had declarative memory but spared _____ memory

Answer 37

procedural (would get better mirror drawing task but couldn't ever remember doing it)

Question 38

lesions in the medial temporal lobe show impaired memory recognition at long but not short delays what does this show

Answer 38

working memory was still intact

Question 39

the hippocampus function in declarative memory is to

Answer 39

bind sensory information for memory consolidation (important for spatial and location)

Question 40

birds ahve what large area in their brain based off their need to use spatial cues

Answer 41

entorhina;

Question 42

different hippocampal neurons fired for _____ odor and location pairing
