What is the difference between episodic vs sematic memory?
Declarative Memory
Episodic Memory: personal events, who, where, and why
Semantic Memory: common knowledge, fact based
Declarative Memory includes both episodic and semantic memory
True/False
Retrograde amnesia is a loss of memory of events that occured after the trauma or disease.
False
Retrograde amnesia is a loss of memory of events that occured before the trauma or disease.
True/False
Anterograde amnesia is a loss of memory for events following the event that caused the amnesia.
True
__ memory includes perceptual and cognitive skill learning; perceptual skills include object, pattern, and face recognition.
A. Working
B. Declarative
C. Procedural
D. All of the Above
C. Procedural
Practice is required to store procedural memories.
True/False
Consciousness is a general level of arousal.
True
Attention
Selection of objects of attention based on goals
Motivation and initiation for motor activity and cognition
Reticular activating system
Name some causes of dementia
Diseases
Alzheimer’s Disease
Diffuse Lewy Body Disease
Parkinson’s Dementia
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
Multiple Infarctions
Multiple infarctions in the cerebral hemispheres result in focal neurologic signs, in addition to deterioration in intellectual function.
Which disease causes progressive mental deterioration consisting of memory loss, confusion, and disorientation?
A. Lewy Body Disease
B. Alzheimer’s Disease
C. Parkinson’s Dementia
D. All of the Above
B. Alzheimer’s Disease
Become lost easily due to motion blindness.
The prefrontal and anterior temporal lobe is responsible for…
Goal Directed Behavior
Emotions
Decision Making
Social Behavior
Personality
Initiation
What is the executive function for the lateral prefrontal cortex?
A. Emotional Control
B. Goal Directed Behavior
C. Motivation
D. None of the above
B. Goal Directed Behavior
Deciding on a goal
Planning how to accomplish a goal
Executing a plan
Monitoring execuation of the plan
Despite the ability to perform normally on conventional intelligence tests, people with __ lesions function poorly in daily life because they lack goal direction and behavioral flexibility.
A. Prefrontal
B. Anterior
C. Basal Ganglia
D. None of the Above
A. Prefrontal
Despite the ability to perform normally on conventional intelligence tests, people with prefrontal lesions function poorly in daily life because they lack goal direction and behavioral flexibility.
List what the medial prefrontal cortex is responsible for.
Emotions
Self Awareness
Motivation
Identification and Perception of Emotions
What happens if there is a lesion in the medial prefrontal cortex?
A. Apathy
B. Impaired Insight
C. Poor Initiation
D. All of the Above
D. All of the Above
Abnormal processing in the medial prefrontal cortico-basal ganglia- thalamic circuit impairs understanding of other’s emotions, beliefs and intensions. Paranoia and delusions. Schizophrenia: less active
True/False
The emotion loop is the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic loop that links emotion, cognitive, and motor systems.
True
Involved in reward-seeking behavior; concerned with finding pleasure
True/False
Dopamine is required for motivation.
True
All natural stimuli that reinforce behavior and all drugs of abuse increase dopamine in the ventral striatum, thus dopamine is required for motivation.
Ventral striatum activity is essential for increasing frequency of rewarded behaviors.

A. Love and Trust
B. Hate and Distrust
C. Bravery and Attraction
D. Fear and Disgust
D. Fear and Disgust
The amydgala generates feelings of fear and disgust.
What part of the brain is essential for social behavior and is immportant for emotional learning?
A. Cerebellum
B. Frontal Lobe
C. Amygdala
D. Occipital Lobe
C. Amygdala
Name some ventral striatum disorders
Apathy
Loss of initiative
Loss of spontaneous thought
Loss of emotional response
Exessive activity: obsessive-compulsiveness
Wernicke’s area is responsible for…
A. Language
B. Language Comprehension
C. Spoken Language
