Question 1

Which of the following is an not an example of a form of learning and memory?

Accepted Answer

E

Question 2

Your ability to perceive the sound of a trumpet amongst a cacophony of sounds in a jazz ensemble is because of what type of learning?

Accepted Answer

Perceptual learning refers to the process of learning to recognize and differentiate stimuli through the senses. In this case, distinguishing the sound of a trumpet in a mix of sounds involves improving one's sensory perception, which is what perceptual learning is all about.

Question 3

The famous classical conditioning experiments conducted by Pavlov in the early 20^th century were conducted with what model system

Accepted Answer

Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments were conducted with restrained dogs, where he studied their salivary responses to being presented with food stimuli.

Question 4

An example of a nonassociative type of learning is ____________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of An example of a nonassociative type of...

Question 5

Someone who has anterograde amnesia would have an inability to remember which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia is characterized by an inability to form new memories after the onset of the amnesia, meaning individuals can remember past events but cannot remember new information or events that occur after the onset of amnesia. Therefore, they would struggle to remember how they drove to work that day (a new memory), but not with remembering long-established facts like their mother's name or the location of their childhood home.

Question 6

Someone with ______________amnesia may experience an inability to recall memories from their childhood.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Someone with ______________amnesia may experience an inability...

Question 7

Which of the following were important discoveries regarding learning and memory that patient H.M. contributed to?

Accepted Answer

Patient H.M. contributed significantly to our understanding that neuronal activity in the medial temporal lobes is necessary for the formation of new episodic memories. His case showed that while he could learn new skills (procedural memory), he was unable to form new episodic (autobiographical) memories after his surgery.

Accepted Answer

The answer of If you could analyze the brains of...

Question 9

What additional sorts of experiments or exercises could have been done with patient H.M. that would have furthered our understanding of the role of the medial temporal lobes in learning and memory?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What additional sorts of experiments or exercises...

Question 10

Experimental application of the delayed non-match to sample tasks (DNMTS)was important for using non-human primate models to mimic what type of learning dysfunction in humans?

Accepted Answer

The delayed non-match to sample tasks (DNMTS) are crucial for studying object recognition memory in non-human primates, as they mimic similar learning dysfunctions observed in humans. This task assesses the ability to recognize previously presented objects after a delay, which is a fundamental aspect of object recognition memory.

Question 11

Primates with lesions in the _____________show severe delay in delayed delayed non-match to sample tasks (DNMTS) learning task sample tasks (DNMTS) however lesions to the ____________are the same as unlesioned controls at these tasks.

Accepted Answer

Primates with lesions in the entorhinal and perirhinal cortices show severe delays in learning delayed non-match to sample tasks (DNMTS), indicating the importance of these areas in memory. However, lesions in the amygdala and hippocampus do not impair performance on these tasks to the same extent, suggesting that these areas, while crucial for other types of memory and emotional processing, do not have the same critical role in DNMTS tasks.

Question 12

Figures 14.6 and 14.7 In the text show some fundamental experimental findings in understanding the roles of the hippocampus, amygdala, entorhinal, and perirhinal cortices. According to these experiments, which brain region is the least involved in spontaneous short term memory?

Accepted Answer

The amygdala is primarily involved in processing emotions, especially fear and pleasure, rather than spontaneous short-term memory, making it the least involved in this function compared to the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and perirhinal cortex, which are more directly linked to memory processes.

Question 13

The lesion studies in rats and primates both suggest that what might true in the human brain of patient H.M.?

Accepted Answer

Lesion studies in rats and primates have shown that damage to the entorhinal and perirhinal cortices can lead to memory impairments similar to those observed in patient H.M., suggesting that part of his memory pathology was likely due to damage in these areas, in addition to the well-documented removal of his hippocampus.

Question 14

Refer to figure 14.7 C. In the text How does a hippocampal lesioned rat compare to a perirhinal lesioned rat in an 8-arm radial maze spatial memory task?

Accepted Answer

The hippocampus is crucial for spatial memory, so rats with hippocampal lesions struggle more with recalling which arms they have visited, leading to more errors in the task.

Question 15

Refer to figure 14.8. In the text How do rats with bilateral hippocampal lesions compared with sham control?

Accepted Answer

Rats with bilateral hippocampal lesions can be trained to recognize novel odors but struggle with remembering the specific order in which they were trained to recognize odors.

Question 16

The hippocampus is necessary for __________, connecting memories of objects through space and time.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The hippocampus is necessary for __________, connecting...

Question 17

Hippocampal lesions affect spatial but not object recognition memory and perirhinal/postrhinal lesions affect object recognition but not spatial memory. This is an example of _________________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Hippocampal lesions affect spatial but not object...

Question 18

Explain the memory pathology you might expect from someone that suffered severe damage to their hippocampus from a severe and highly localized ischemic stroke.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain the memory pathology you might expect...

Question 19

Place the following hippocampal and cortical projections in the correct order.

Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of hippocampal and cortical projections starts with the entorhinal cortex, projecting to the dentate gyrus, then to CA3, CA1, the subiculum, and back to the entorhinal cortex. This pathway is known as the hippocampal circuit or trisynaptic circuit.

Question 20

The direction of synaptic transmission from the neocortex through the entorhinal cortex and to the hippocampus is _____________.

Accepted Answer

The synaptic transmission from the neocortex through the entorhinal cortex to the hippocampus is directional and linear, following a specific pathway without reciprocal or multidirectional branching.
