Memory Systems and Learning Trials

What does the term 'learning' refer to in the second meaning?

In what contexts is the second use of 'learning' popular?

What are memory systems defined as?

What is an advantage of using psychological constructs like a memory system?

Does the idea that memory systems mediate performance in specific memory tasks imply that each memory task measures a single memory system?

What does drawing inferences from memory tasks about the operation of memory systems require?

What is one of the most important advances in the twentieth century mentioned in the text?

What did H.M.'s case demonstrate about memories associated with consciousness?

What did researchers assume about tasks impaired by medial temporal lobe damage in non-human animal models?

What did psychologists find evidence of during the 1970s regarding memory retention in normal human participants?

What was the concept of short-term memory expanded into?

What was the ability assumed to be mediated by the same memory system regardless of whether recall is spoken or written?

What did ancient Greek ideas contribute to the notion of memory systems?

What did behavioral neuroscientists try to achieve inspired by the case of patient H.M.?

What did psychologists find evidence of regarding retaining information across delays of seconds or minutes?

What is assumed to be independent of medial temporal lobe regions?

The second meaning of the term 'learning' primarily refers to the improvement in performance of a particular task over time.

Each memory task measures a single memory system according to the text.

The concept of memory systems can account for a whole set of empirical results, which is an advantage of using psychological constructs.

Memory systems mediate performance in specific memory tasks, and each memory task measures a single memory system.

Drawing inferences from memory tasks about the operation of memory systems requires evidence from only one task.

Most tasks are sensitive to the contributions of more than one memory system, according to the text.

The ability of remembering personally experienced events is dependent on whether recall is spoken or written.

Ancient Greek ideas did not contribute to the notion of memory systems.

Memories associated with consciousness are dependent on medial temporal lobe regions.

Retaining information across delays of seconds or minutes involves the same mechanisms as retaining information across delays of hours, days, or weeks.

The concept of short-term memory was not expanded into the notion of working memory.

Tasks impaired by medial temporal lobe damage in non-human animal models were assumed to measure types of memory similar to those impaired in patient H.M.

The role of consciousness can be accurately assessed in rodents and monkeys.

The basic ideas of memory systems only date back to the twentieth century.

Memory systems mediate performance in specific memory tasks, implying that each memory task measures a single memory system.

Retaining information across delays of seconds or minutes involves mechanisms fundamentally different from those used for retaining information across delays of hours, days, or weeks.
