Modules 32-33

1.  a neural center located in the limbic system; helps process explicit memories for storage.

• Hippocampus

• Amygdala

• Hypothalamus

• Medulla

2. a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event

• Déjà vu

• Flashbulb memory

• Long-term potentiation (LTP)

• I. Recognition

3. an increase in a cell’s firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory.

• Flashbulb memory

• Long-term potentiation (LTP)

• Priming

• Déjà vu

4. a measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test

• Recall

• Recognition

• Relearning

• Long-term potentiation (LTP)

5. a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test

• Recall

• Recognition

• Relearning

• Serial Position Effect

6. a measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again

• Priming

• Recall

• Recognition

• Relearning

7.  the activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one’s perception, memory, or response

• Deja vu

• Flashbulb memory

• long-term potentiation

• priming

8. our tendency to recall best the last (a recency effect) and first items (a primacy effect) in a list

• flashbulb memory

• misinformation effect

• serial position effect

• source amnesia

9.  an inability to form new memories

• anterograde amnesia

• Retrograde amnesia

• Source amnesia

• Misinformation effect

10. an inability to retrieve information from one’s past

• anterograde amnesia

• retrograde amnesia

• source amnesia

• long-term potentiation (LTP)
