Question 12

What does voxel-based morphometry (VBM) measure? Why does one need to be cautious about interpreting the results of these studies?

Question 13

What is an ROC and how is it generated?

Question 14

How has functional connectivity been used to demonstrate the importance of the hippocampus to long-term memory encoding?

Question 16

Recollection and familiarity are associated with which regions of the medial temporal lobe?

Question 17

What is the principle of contextual reinstatement? How has MVPA been used to demonstrate this principle?

Question 18

What is the difference between recollection and familiarity and dual-process models?

Question 19

Which of the following is likely to lead to more hippocampal activity during a brain scan?
