Question 40

System Consolidation Theory

Answer 40

Hippocampus consolidates memories, hold them for a time, and then send them to be stored elsewhere

Question 41

Multiple Trace Theory

Answer 41

3 kinds of memory: Autobiographic, Factual semantic, and General semantic memory

Question 42

Multiple Trace Theory definition

Answer 42

Old memories are more resistant to amnesia because they change location in the brain as they are recalled

Question 43

Reconsolidation Theory

Answer 43

Each time memory is used, it is reconsolidated
