6. What does the lesion at 28 days with intact memory in Kim & Fanselow (1992) suggest?

  • After a day memory is still in the hippocampus
  • Memory no longer 'in' the neocortex, consolidated
  • Memory no longer 'in' the hippocampus, consoldated
  • If LTP disrupted immediately after the event, successful encoding does not occur no long lasting memory formed

7. Electrical stimulation during SWS boosted what type of learning?

  • Visuospatial learning
  • Verbal learning
  • Procedural memory
  • STM

8. Which of these is characteristic of semantic dementia (SD)?

  • Progressive loss of verbal concepts and knowledge for events
  • Progressive loss of conceptual knowledge across modalities
  • Atrophy in hippocampus and amygdala
  • Degeneration of frontal parietal areas

9. What characterises the temporal gradient in retrograde amnesia?

  • Memories closer to birth are least impaired, more recent memories most impaired
  • Memories closer to birth are most impaired, more recent memories least impaired

10. Who posits the theory of episodic VERSUS semantic?

  • Tulving
  • Squire

11. In McClellands theory of complementary learning systems, what is a feature of neocortex learning?

  • Slowly binding together elements of an episode to prevent interference when new material is learned. Similar features shared by multiple experiences are strongly encoded
  • Quickly binding together elements of an episode using few neurons to allow for seperability of memories
  • Quickly binding together elements of an episode to prevent interference when new material is learned. Similar features shared by multiple experiences are strongly encoded
  • Slowly binding together elements of an episode using few neurons to allow for seperability of memories

12. Which was patient KC most impaired in?

  • Severe episodic deficits (anterograde amnesia), intact semantic memory
  • Severe episodic deficits (retrograde amnesia), intact semantic memory
  • Severe semantic deficits (retrograde amnesia), intact episodic memory
  • Severe semantic deficits (anterograde amnesia), intact episodic memory

13. What disassociation is there in classical amnesia?

  • Semantic v.s procedural
  • Episodic v.s declarative
  • Episodic v.s semantic
  • Semantic v.s implicit

14. What is the main concept of Squire's view of consolidation?

  • Hippocampus has a time sensitive role in consoldation to the neocortex
  • Extraction of similarities between multimodal experiences to create concepts (semantic memory)
  • Hippocampus strongly encodes multimodal experiences and episodes
  • Slow learning in the hippocampus and interleaved learning

15. Is time/place coded in semantic memory?

  • No
  • Yes

16. How does SD show a double disassociation with amnesia?

  • Intact episodic memory and impaired semantic memory
  • Intact semantic memory and impaired episodic memory
  • Intact semantic memory and episodic memory
  • Impaired semantic and episodic memory

17. Is the same temporal gradient as in amnesia present in semantic dementia?

  • No, more recent memories are better preserved (4 years) and older memories impaired
  • Yes, older memories more preserved (childhood) and more recent memories impaired

18. Which of these characterises an hippocampal memory system?

  • Encoding and recreating unique multimodal experiences of people/places/objects/events (episodic memory)
  • Extraction of similarities between multimodal experiences to create concepts (ie semantic memory)
  • Extraction of similarities between multimodal experiences to retrieve concepts (ie episodic memory)
  • Encoding and recreating unique multimodal experiences of people/places/objects/events (semantic memory)

19. Which memory type is better when YOUNG and which is better when OLD?

  • Semantic, procedural
  • Episodic, semantic
  • Procedural, semantic
  • Semantic, episodice

20. Why does the temporal gradient in amnesia occur for older memories?

  • Because they havent been retrieved as much, their quality and neural basis changes into more semantic memory
  • Because they have been retrieved more, their quality and neural basis changes into more semantic memory
  • Because they have been retrieved more, their quality and neural basis changes into more episodic memory
  • Because they havent been retrieved as much, their quality and neural basis changes into more episodic memory
