6. What is proactive interference in retrieval?

  • Old learning interfering with retrieval of a new memory
  • New learning interfereing with retrieval of an old memory

7. Behavioural control is?

  • The ability to flexibly control thoughts in accordance with goals, go-no go task.
  • The ability to control actions based on goals, go-no go task.
  • The ability to control actions based on goals, Think-no think task.
  • The ability to flexibly control thoughts in accordance with goals. Think-no think task.

8. What is a function of the ventrolateral PFC?

  • Spontaneous semantic recollection
  • Effortful retrieval with LOTS of competition (Left IFG selective attention)
  • Spontaneous episodic recollection
  • Effortful retrieval with LITTLE competition (Left IFG selective attention)

9. Can forgetting be positive?

  • Yes
  • No

10. Forgetting as...?

  • An inevitable consequence of trace decay and intereference
  • An inevitable consequence of working memory
  • A need to control competition processes in retrieval
  • A need to suppress competition processes in retrieval

11. Reduced activation of VLPFC...?

  • Retrieval induced forgetting task is easier, forget competing mems more
  • Rey figure copy task is easier
  • Dot probe task is easier
  • Spatial navigation task is easier

12. What is linked to deficits in controlled semantic retrieval in semantic aphasia?

  • Left IFG damage
  • VLPFC damage
  • Hippocampus damage
  • PFC damage

13. What characterises the default mode network (task negative)?

  • Involved in effortful retrieval of all declarative memory types
  • Common brain areas always DEACTIVATED during tasks
  • Involved in effortful retrieval of semantic memory
  • Common brain areas always ACTIVATED during tasks

14. What is the difference between semantic dementia and semantic aphasia?

  • SD = Damage to control processes, SA = Damage to knowledge processes
  • SD = Degradation of amodal semantic representations, SA = Deregulated semantic retrieval
  • SD = Deregulated semantic retrieval, SA = Degradation of amodal semantic representations

15. What is linked to poor source memory and confabulation?

  • Hippocampus damage
  • PFC damage
  • Left IFG damage
  • VLPFC damage

16. What is retroactive interference in retrieval?

  • New learning interfereing with retrieval of an old memory
  • Old learning interfering with retrieval of a new memory

17. Where does activity at encoding predict subsequent memory success?

  • VLPFC & Hippocampus
  • VLPFC & Amygdala
  • Hippocampus & Anterior Temporal lobe
  • Anterior Temporal lobe & Angular gyrus

18. Following damage to PFC, which is poorer; recall or recognition?

  • Recall poorer than recognition
  • Recognition poorer than recall
  • Equally affected by damage to the PFC

19. What is the subsequent memory effect?

  • Where activity at encoding predicts subsequent memory success
  • Where activity at encoding predicts subsequent memory encoding
  • Newly generated memories last longer than older
  • Older generated memories last longer than younger

20. Following damage to the PFC, is source memory (discriminating between similar memories) affected?

  • Yes
  • No
