6. As people get older they exhibit the positive memory bias which is...?
- They try to maintain wellbeing and recall more positive than negative memories
- Their retrieval of all emotional memories is suppressed
- They become depressed and retrieve more negative memories
- Their retrieval of emotional memories does not change
7. What is an example of state dependent retrieval?
- People being able to recall drunk memories only when they are drunk
- People developing an unconcious aversion to alcohol after experiencing aversive events whilst drinking
- People being unable to recall drunk memories unless prompted
- People being able to recall drunk memories easily
8. What is the Velten technique of mood induction?
- Pps read self referential statements designed to make them happy or sad
- MEPs are recorded from muscle groups associated with positive and negative emotions
- TMS is used to stimulate motor cortex during induction of different emotional states
- Pps mood is implictly manipulated through odor presentation e.g fear sweat
9. In a study of tree shrews, what does stress from their natural environments cause?
- Impairs amygdala functioning
- Reduces axon branching in the hippocampus
- Facilitates synaptic growth in the hippocampus
- Causes programmed cell death in the hippocampus
10. Which of these was NOT shown when exposing rats to long term stress hormones?
- Hippocampal atrophy after long periods
- Reduced hippocampal firing
- Increased spatial navigation
- Impaired memory performance
11. Do patients with damaged amygdalas still show improved memory for arousing stimuli?
- No, and they dont show the emotional advantage when asked to recall the images an 1hr later
- No, but they show the emotional advantage when asked to recall the images an 1hr later
- Yes, and they show the emotional advantage when asked to recall the images an 1hr later
- Yes, but they dont show the emotional advantage when asked to recall the images an 1hr later
12. In a study using identical twins and combat trauma experience...?
- The small hippocampus twin with combat experience was most likely to develop PTSD
- Both twins with small hippocampi will develop PTSD
- Both twins with large hippocampi will develop PTSD
- The large hippocampus twin with combat experience was most likely to develop PTSD
13. What was found in a study of emotional valence and arousal?
- Better recall of highly arousing images and negative recalled better than positive. 1 year later, highly arousing negative best recalled
- Better recall of highly arousing images but no differences between positive and negative. 1 year later, highly arousing best recalled
- Better recall of highly arousing images and positive recalled better than negative. 1 year later, highly arousing positive best recalled
- No differences in arousal but positive recalled better than negative. 1 year later highly arousing positive recalled best
14. When people were asked about the challenger space shuttle explosion...?

- After 1 day, 45% reported first seeing it on TV and after 5 years 21% report seeing it on TV
- After 1 day, 21% reported first seeing it on TV and after 2.5 years 45% report seeing it on TV

16. What is used to measure effects of emotional valence and arousal longitudinally?
- Emotional stroop task
- International affective pictures
- Implicit associations task
- Subliminal priming
17. Stimulus of the amygdala AFTER encoding...
- Facilitates hippocampus consolidation
- Decreases activation in other emotion areas
- Increases empathy
- Is correlated with emotional understanding and TOM
18. What is there a correlation between?
- Strength of the amygdala response at encoding and later recall
- Strength of the amygdala response at encoding and immediate recall
- Strength of the amygdala response at encoding and hippocampal retrieval
- Strength of the amygdala response at encoding and wellbeing
19. Which influences memory consolidation more?
