| #26 Which statement about long-term storage is true? | #26 growth of new synapses Each time a memory is retrieved, it becomes vulnerable to disruption. |
| #27 When rats are given drugs that block long-term potentiation (LTP) they: | #27 "turn rats into rodent versions of patient HM: The animals have great difficulty remembering where they’ve been recently and become easily lost in a maze" |
| #28 While at the kitchen table, Jenna thought of a funny her way there, she forgot the joke. To help remember, she went back to the kitchen table and remembered. What helped jog her memory? | #28 encoding specificity principle |
| #29 The ability to recall information more efficiently when you are in the same state as when the information was encoded is known as: | #29 state dependent retrieval |
| #30 Retrieving information from the long-term memory store _________ subsequent memory of that information | #30 can impair and/or change may improve or impair |
| #31 When you try but fail to remember something, your _____ shows increased activity, whereas when you successfully remember something, your _____ shows increased activity. | #31 left frontal lobe = try hippocampal = successful |
| #32 participant is shown 100 pictures. Sometime later, she is shown pictures in an fMRI scanner and asked if they were part of the original set or not. Which area of the brain would be LEAST active during this task? | #32 parietal |
| #33 long-term memory can be broken up into two broad types: memory that requires conscious recall, referred to as _______ memory, and memory that does not require conscious recall, or _______ memory | #33 explicit = conscious recall implicit = non conscious recall |
| #34 Memory for cognitive and motor skills (e.g. how to study or how to drive a car) is known as __________ memory. | #34 procedural |
| #35 Priming is an example of _____ memory. | #35 implicit |
| #36 Which statement about priming is true? | #36 implicit memory enhanced ability to think of a stimulus "as a result of a recent exposure to the stimulus during an earlier study task" Your memory might be currently primed by events that took place years earlier. |
