Study Notes
Cognition Exam 3 Study Notes
- Anterograde amnesia can be caused by brain injury combined with alcoholism and poor nutrition, leading to thiamine deficiency.
- Korsakoff's Syndrome is characterized by the inability to create new memories, despite being able to retain old ones. Symptoms include difficulty generating animal names and recalling the word "leopard" after a delay.
- Medial temporal amnesia affects the ability to recall recent events, such as remembering the city Phoenix.
- Individuals with severe Korsakoff's syndrome can still learn.
- Alzheimer's disease is linked to plaques and tangles in the brain cortex, impacting the ability to remember words like "leopard".
- Huntington's disease stems from deterioration of the basal ganglia, leading to varied symptom presentations.
- Damage to medial temporal regions impairs both recall and recognition, even if the event is recent.
- Recognition tasks show reduced accuracy when individuals are presented with new stimuli; performance is best on subsequent trials.
- False memories can emerge as a symptom of normal memory.
- Distributed study methods improve long-term retention of information.
- Flashbulb memories are believed to be remarkably accurate, but studies suggest this accuracy is not consistently maintained.
- Post-traumatic disorders can lead to the creation of confusingly accurate, yet altered, memory of a past traumatic experience.
- Traumatic events are encoded as mundane events but are often stored with emotional bias, making them easier to recall.
- Childhood memory development is impaired by the limited ability of young children to synthesize and tell detailed stories.
- Eyewitness testimony may be influenced by misleading information relayed to the witness during or after the event.
- Cognitive tests and evaluations can be influenced by various factors, improving and deteriorating depending on conditions surrounding the test.
- Cognitive bias in recognizing words, spatial locations, etc, may result in higher or lower accuracy of recall compared to other conditions.
- Intelligence tests have shown, in recent years, increasing scores globally and across demographic categories, indicating improving proficiency.
- Triarchic theory of intelligence holds that intelligence consists of three factors: analytical, practical, and creative.
