M4: Memory

The early processing of the material to be learned.

The process via which recently encoded information is transferred into permanent storage.

The ____ lobe and hippocampus are important for the storage of new memories and retrieval of existing memories.

This ____ lobe and subcortical structures are important for encoding information and retrieving through their role in “executive” or “supervisory” functions (e.g., attention, organization).

The left hemisphere is responsible for verbal memory and lexical information.

The left hemisphere is responsible for visual memory, topographical memory and non-verbal information

There are multiple long term memory sites, especially in integration areas of the ____ lobes.

The medial temporal lobe area networks and structures are important for effective consolidation.

The way that information is held in memory for future use.

The act of pulling information from storage, typically from the long-term store.

Word lists are less likely to be recalled when they can be organized by semantic category such as foods, animals, colors, and so on.

The act of retrieving information can strengthen its representation in long-term storage.

When assessing verbal memory, photos of familiar objects/people are considered non-verbal.

What type of memory involves conscious, intentional memory; facts, names, images and events?

This type of memory is acquired and used unconsciously. It includes skills, emotions, preferences, and dispositions.

Match the type of memory to its description.

Match the type of memory to its description

Both semantic and episodic memories are thought to require a functioning medial temporal lobe system. What structures are apart of this system?

Anterograde amnesia is difficulty recalling new events that occur before the injury.

Retrograde amnesia is the ability to recall events prior to the injury

What is prospective memory?

Which of the following are not types of procedural memory?

This is the processing, detection, or identification of an item because of its prior exposure in tasks not requiring conscious recollection.

Most forms of memory assessment rely heavily on explicit measures as this type of memory is most characteristic of human cognitive performance and seems to be most influenced by brain pathology.

When selecting a memory test, clinicians must consider several things. Name 3.

Name a useful approach to treating memory.

When information is perceptually encoded, it is deposited into an immediate working memory system that is divided into three subsystems specialized for different functions. What are these 3 subsystem?

What information is held and manipulated in the visuosketehpad?

Baddeley et al. (2011) proposed a memory buffer mechanism responsible for integrating information between the phonological and visuospatial systems and storing information that exceeds the span capacities of the two subsystems.

This subsystem is responsible for pulling information from long-term memory stores and assists with semantic processing
