18
Q

Who is HM

A

Had epilepsy, had his hippocampus removed in his Brain then suffered from no memory of events after like 50 first dates

19
Q

Belief we should focus on observable responses and discard and inner thoughts, feelings, and motives

20
Q

Associative learning- think they are connected

A

By linking two things together, you will know what to expect

21
Q

When a learned behavior is reoccurred after a rest period

A

Spontaneous recovery

22
Q

The ability to REACQUIRE a learned behavior in less time then when you originally learned it, less time

23
Q

Learning that is exhibited only in the presence of an incentive or prize

A

Latent learning

24
Excessive rewards for accomplishing something
Overjustifivation
25
The CS is presented before the US, and the response is delayed until the US is available
Delayed conditioning
26
The CS is presented after the US
Backward conditioning
27
Physchoneuroimmunology (neuro)
Study of how psychology relates to events in the nervous system
28
What is learning that is exhibited only in the presence of a prize
Latent learning
29
The Premack principle
States that a preferred activity can be used to reinforce a non-preferred task
30
Is a cell in the hippocampus that only fires when an organism is in a specific location in natural environment
Place cell
31
Is the process by which sensory info is converted into a form that can be stored
Encoding
32
Previously stored info is moved from long term memory to working
Retrieval
33
Forgetting
Inability to retrieve info that has been previously stored
34

Attention
35
Means "containing factual and conceptual info that isn't directly linked to life events
Semantic
36
Is the process of activating associations in memory just before starting a certain task
Priming
37
A phenomenon in which a person remembers info but forgets where the info came from
Source amnesia
38

40
Process of organizing large pieces of info into smaller, or chunks
Chunking
41
