Learning is best defined as
the process of converting environmental energy into neural activity
a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience
the natural changes that unfold in a fixed sequence, relatively independent of the environemnt
an awareness of the outside world and of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
If you wanted to condition a friend to automatically blink his eyes in response to the word "apple" what would you do?
Use classical conditioning and pair the word with a puff of air to the eyes
Use classical conditioning and reinforce eye blinking with a slice of an apple
Use operant conditioning and reinforce eye blinking to the word “apple” with a dollar
Use operant conditioning and pair the eye blinking with a slice of an apple
The first experiments involving classical conditioning were carried out by
B.F. Skinner
Ivan Pavlov
John Watson
Sigmund Freud
After Maria drank coffee for the first time, she felt more awake. She then began to drink coffee every morning. Now when she smells coffee, she feels more awake. To Maria, feeling more awake after just smelling coffee is ______.
a conditioned stimulus
a conditioned response
an unconditioned stimulus
an unconditioned response
In a typical classical conditioning experiment, a neutral stimulus is
repeatedly paired with the UCR
repeatedly paired with the CS
not paired with any other stimulus
repeatedly paired with the UCS
Trial-and-error learning is associated with experiments conducted with hungry cats placed in a puzzle boxes. This work was conducted by
Skinner
Pavlov
Thorndike
Bandura
Working memory (WM) has been likened to a desk space that holds the current information for a short period of time. This analogy is problematic in what way?
The desk analogy is too static: WM is capable of more than simply short-term storage.
WM is more like a filing cabinet with a specific number of slots into which information can be put.
The size of WM varies across individuals, but a desk never changes size.
There is no problem with this analogy.
Early estimates of working-memory capacity relied on the digit-span task. The data indicate working memory capacity to be ________ items.
The idea that information needs to be converted into a form that is meaningful to the person learning it is referred to as
Encoding
Storage
Recall
Consolidation
The memory that is either biographical or prospective (remembering things you have on your "to-do"list) is
semantic
episodic
implicit
explicit
An essential difference between semantic and episodic memories is that
Semantic memories are the same for everyone; episodic are personal experiences
Semantic memories are personal experiences; episodic are the same for everyone
You can verbalise a semantic memory but it is harder to put an episodic memory into words
You can verbalise an episodic memory but it is harder to put a semantic memory into words
The hippocampus is located in the
frontal lobes
hindbrain
medial temporal lobe
forebrain
Anterograde amnesia is the loss of the ability to create ______________ after the event that caused the amnesia.
images in the brain
procedural memories

new memories
Retrograde amnesia is where memories created __________________________.
prior to the event are lost
after and event are lost
loss of procedural memory
loss of language
Due to seizures after a brain damage Dr. William Scoville decided to remove H.M.’s _________________________________________.

Initially the doctor felt that H.M.’s surgery was a success his IQ _____________________ and he seemed to have no changes in his ______________________________.
went down, mood
trippled, dreams
improved, personality
lowered, vision
As a result of removing H.M's Hippocampus he did not lose his past Memory .
True
False
H.M. could make new memories despite the removal of his Hippocampus.
True
False
Plays a role in memories that are highly emotional, especially fearful memories.
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Cerebellum
Prefrontal Cortex
Seems to be involved in the retrieval of memory. Brining long term memories into working memory when needed.
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Cerebellum
Prefrontal Cortex
Involved in normal recognition memory as well as spatial memory, connects memories to other regions of the brain and with other memories, memory consolidation, transferring new learning into long-term learning.
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Cerebellum
Prefrontal Cortex
A particular group of brain cells seems to provide a basis for observational learning. Researchers call these specialized cells...
