What is the difference between multiple trace model of consolidation and standard model of consolidation?

Answer explanation

Standard model of consolidation states that the hippocampus role in memory only works as a way to consolidate and helps memory representation in the cortex and is no longer present after the cortex representations have occurred. (graded amnesia explains that fact).

Multiple trace model of consolidation: Proposes a continuing role for hippocampus, even for remote memories.

Explain the process of graded amnesia and its link to/explanation to the standard model of consolidation model.

What is the definition of encoding?

• Process of bringing information into consciousness by transferring it from LTM to working memory

• Process of acquiring information and transferring it to LTM

• Rehearsal of information by considering meaning or making connections to other information

• Create framework that helps relate some information to other information to make more meaningful and therefore strengthen encoding

What is the definition of retrieval?

• Process of bringing information into consciousness by transferring it from LTM to working memory

• Process of acquiring information and transferring it to LTM

• Rehearsal of information by considering meaning or making connections to other information

• Create framework that helps relate some information to other information to make more meaningful and therefore strengthen encoding

What are the 2 ways can we increase information getting retrieved?

(a)  

What is the definition of retrieval of cues?

• Word or stimuli that helps remembering information stored in memory

• Participants are asked to recall stimuli

• Participants are presents with retrieval cues to aid in recall of the previously experienced stimuli

• Matching the task involved in encoding and retrieval

What is the definition of retrieval of free recall?

• Word or stimuli that helps remembering information stored in memory

• Participants are asked to recall stimuli

• Participants are presents with retrieval cues to aid in recall of the previously experienced stimuli

• Matching the task involved in encoding and retrieval

What is the definition of retrieval of cues recall?

• Word or stimuli that helps remembering information stored in memory

• Participants are asked to recall stimuli

• Participants are presents with retrieval cues to aid in recall of the previously experienced stimuli

• Matching the task involved in encoding and retrieval

What is the difference between free recall and cues recall?

(a)  

True or False.

Retrieval cues are less effective when they are created by the person whose memory is being tested

• True

• False
