Memory and Sleep

Sleep spindles support…

• Memory formation

• Relaxation

• Learning new skill

• Dreaming

A time-dependent process when recent memories are transformed into long- term memory is called:

• Memory consolidation

• Memory re-assessment

• Memory organisation

• Memory re-processing

What does memory reactivation in sleep mean?

• A process when memories are replayed between the hippocampus and neocortex

• Patterns of brain activity during experience, re-expressed at a later time.

• Neural marker of memory when memories are re-played during sleep;

• All of the above

Which structures of the brain participate in memory consolidation: 

 

• Hippocampus and neocortex

• Basal Ganglia

• Fusiform gyrus

• Amygdala

Big Delta Waves  (1-3 Hz) observed during 3^rd and 4^th stages of sleep are called?

• Spindles

• Ripples

• K-complexes

• Slow Oscillations

When prior experience helps us complete current tasks, without our conscious knowledge we talk about….

• …declarative memory

• …implicit memory

• …autobiographical memory

• …semantic memory

Which element was added by Baddeley and Hitch to their Working Memory model in 2000?

• Episodic buffer

• Visuo-spatial sketchpad

• Phonological Loop

• All of the above

Facts and events belong to which memory?

• Procedural

• Declarative

• Non-declarative

• A & B

   

According to Tulving and colleagues (2002), different types of memory are:

• Working and declarative memory

• Just declarative memory

• Declarative episodic, declarative semantic and non-declarative

• Priming, motor skills and habituation

Which of the following best describes inability to form new memories following the brain injury?

• Anterograde amnesia

• Retrograde amnesia

• Transient amnesia

• All of the above
