  • In regards to driving a manual car outline the role of three long term memory stores
    eg. Procedural (changing gears), Episodic (personal experiences of driving in past), Semantic (road rules), Classical conditioning (appropriate association)
  • On the board draw a diagram to show the categories of long term memory
    Must clearly show implicit (procedural and CC) and explicit (episodic and semantic)
  • Describe the symptoms of someone with hippocamal damage?
    Unable to form new explicit LTM
  • How are the hippocampus and neocortex similar in terms of type of LTM? And different in terms of role?
    Similar - both explicit LTM. Difference - hippocampus is encoding wheras neocortex is storage
  • Provide a clear example of procedural memory
    eg. Riding a bike, surfing, using chopsticks, skateboarding
  • Outline how short term memory interacts with sensory memory and long term memory when playing this game
    Short term memory receives and encodes info from STM. Answers to questions are retrieved from LTM into STM.are retrieved
  • Name the specific memory store that has the shortest duration
    Iconic sensory memory
  • State the capacity of each of the three main memory systems
    Sensory unlimited, Short term 5-9, Long term unlimited
  • Describe one similarity and one difference between the cerebellum and basal ganglia
    eg. Similarity (both involved in implicit/procedural LTM, both movement), Difference (location, basal ganglia role in habits/sequences of movements)
  • The process of moving information from long term memory to short term memory is called
    Retrieval
  • Perry is repeatedly sprayed with a water gun after the word 'hat' & is fearful & starts flinching to the word alone.. Outline the role of four brain areas in this scenario.
    Hippocamppus - encoding explicit info, amygdala - encoding emotional component, neocortex - storing explicit, cerebellum - encoding CC reflexes
  • Describe what may occur to someones LTM if they have damage to the neocortex
    Inability to recall previously stored LTM (particularly explicit)
  • Outline the role of the hippocampus in long term memory
    Encoding new explicit long term memories
  • Charlee steps on a snake. Outline the relationship between two key brain areas in encoding this event.
    Amygdala is activiated due to strong emotional component. This signals to hippocampus which leads to deeper encoding.
  • At what point/s does encoding happen according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin multi store model?
    To move information from sensory to short term memory AND from short term to long term memory
