memory

Question 1

Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968

Answer 1

multistore memory model

Question 2

sensory memory

Answer 2

information not immediately attended to is held briefly in a temporary buffer memory making it possible to attend to a bit later

Question 3

sensory memory for vision

Answer 3

iconic memory

Question 4

sensory memory for hearing

Answer 4

echoic memory

Question 5

sensory memory for touch

Answer 5

haptic memory

Question 6

short term memory

Answer 6

7+/- 2 chunks of information - Miller
around 18-20 seconds
encoded acoustically

Question 7

maintenance rehearsal

Answer 7

repeating the information so that it is recalled immediate when needed
doesn’t add to the meaning

Question 8

long term memory

Answer 8

semantically processed
with an unlimited storage and up to a lifetime

Question 9

elaborative rehearsal

Answer 9

expanding upon new information by adding to it and linking it to what one knows
making it more meaningful

Question 10

levels of processing

Answer 10

memory attention depends on how deeply information is processed
the deeper the processing, the better the retention

Question 11

medial temporal gyrus

Answer 11

processing of face recognition
word meaning

Question 12

inferior frontal gyrus

Answer 12

language

Question 13

anterior temporal cortex

Answer 13

processing domain of general semantic knowledge
bias towards social information

Question 14

angular gyrus

Answer 14

complex language, interpreting what is written

Question 15

working memory

Answer 15

actively maintains and manipulates information
fundamental in the performance of cognitive tasks

Question 16

dorsal frontopareital system

Answer 16

mediates the top down guided voluntary allocation to locations of features

Question 17

vental frontoparital system

Answer 17

detects unattended or unexpected stimuli and triggers shift our attention

Question 18

frontal lobe

Answer 18

executive and memory functions

Question 19

pariteal lobe

Answer 19

sensory information

Question 20

fusiform gyrus

Answer 20

temporal occipital lobe and recognition

Question 21

neural networks

Answer 21

connectivity between frontal and parietal areas in verbal working memory tasks
maintenance and executive purposes

Question 22

patient HM

Answer 22

after surgery, able to recognise faces and recall events from his childhood and retained old and new skills but could not create new memories

Question 23

what did patient HM teach us

Answer 23

anterograde amnesia and retrograde amnesia
LTM impairment, STM remained intact

Question 24

hippocampus

Answer 24

if damaged old memories may be intact and new ones cannot be consolidated

Question 25

prefrontal cortex

Answer 25

damage can result in disruptions to working memory and planning

Question 26

plasticity

Answer 26

regeneration of neurons denervation supersensitivity rerouting sprouting

Question 27

declarative memory

Answer 27

episodic - memories of events semantic - knowledge/encyclopaedia

Question 28

single sore memory model

Answer 28

memory is a single unified store where all information is processed similarly
