Question 1

Use the following to answer questions:
For each task, answer 
-recurring nonsense syllables ___

Accepted Answer

The left hemisphere is typically more involved in language processing, including tasks involving nonsense syllables, which are related to phonological processing.

Question 2

Use the following to answer question 5:
The explicit memory model proposed by the authors suggests that various components of this system may be specialized for different aspects of memory processing. Show your memory retrieval skills by matching each structure with the most appropriate alternative from the list below.
-diencephalon ___

Accepted Answer

The diencephalon is one of the four major parts of the brain, which includes structures such as the thalamus and hypothalamus, playing a crucial role in relaying sensory information and managing numerous functions related to the endocrine system and homeostasis.

Question 3

What is the reasoning behind the recommendation that students can improve their exam scores if they study by writing out the material to be learned?

Accepted Answer

Recall is dependent upon the learning/encoding phase. Remembering the gist won't help with learning the details (which can be enhanced by writing out notes). This involves top-down processing.

Question 4

Use the following to answer questions:
Match the hippocampal structure in each question with the correct option from the list below.
-perforant path ___

Accepted Answer

The perforant path is the major input pathway from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, forming a crucial part of the neocortex-hippocampus pathway for memory and spatial navigation.

Question 5

Use the following to answer questions:
For each task, answer 
-Corsi block - tapping ___

Accepted Answer

The Corsi block tapping task is more disrupted by right hemisphere lesions. Studies have shown that individuals with right hemisphere damage performed worse on the task compared to those with left hemisphere damage or no damage. The right hemisphere is heavily involved in visuospatial processing, which is required for this task.

Question 6

Use the following to answer question 5:
The explicit memory model proposed by the authors suggests that various components of this system may be specialized for different aspects of memory processing. Show your memory retrieval skills by matching each structure with the most appropriate alternative from the list below.
-perirhinal cortex ___

Accepted Answer

The perirhinal cortex is primarily responsible for recognition memory, which involves the ability to recognize previously encountered stimuli or information.

Question 10

Use the following to answer question 5:
The explicit memory model proposed by the authors suggests that various components of this system may be specialized for different aspects of memory processing. Show your memory retrieval skills by matching each structure with the most appropriate alternative from the list below.
-hippocampus ___

Accepted Answer

The hippocampus is primarily associated with episodic memory, which involves the recollection of specific events, situations, and experiences from one's past.

Question 11

Use the following to answer questions:
For each task, answer 
-face recognition ___

Accepted Answer

Face recognition is more disrupted by right hemisphere lesions, as the right hemisphere of the brain is more involved in processing visual information and recognizing faces.

Question 12

Use the following to answer questions:
Match the hippocampal structure in each question with the correct option from the list below.
-fimbria fornix ___

Accepted Answer

The fimbria-fornix is a major output pathway of the hippocampus, connecting it to various other brain structures, including the thalamus, hence it is associated with the hippocampus-thalamus pathway.

Question 13

Use the following to answer questions:
For each task, answer 
-Hebb recurring - digits ___

Accepted Answer

The Hebb recurring-digits task is more disrupted by left hemisphere lesions because the left hemisphere is typically associated with language and verbal processing, which are crucial for tasks involving sequences of digits.

Question 14

Use the following to answer question 5:
The explicit memory model proposed by the authors suggests that various components of this system may be specialized for different aspects of memory processing. Show your memory retrieval skills by matching each structure with the most appropriate alternative from the list below.
-amygdala ___

Accepted Answer

The amygdala is primarily responsible for emotional coloring, or attaching emotion to memories.

Question 18

Use the following to answer questions:
Match the hippocampal structure in each question with the correct option from the list below.
-dentate gyrus ___

Accepted Answer

The dentate gyrus is the location of granule cells in the hippocampus.

Question 19

Within the proposed anatomical model for explicit memory, different components may have different roles. Comment on the possible roles in explicit memory for each of the following: the amygdala, hippocampus, and perirhinal cortex.

Accepted Answer

Question 20

Use the following to answer questions:
Match the hippocampal structure in each question with the correct option from the list below.
-Ammon's horn ___

Accepted Answer

Ammon's horn, also known as the Cornu Ammonis, is primarily composed of pyramidal cells, making option C the correct match.
