  1. Implicit memory includes memory for
    1. Skills
    2. Facts
    3. Personal events
    4. All of the above
  3. A lesion in which of these areas is most likely to produce difficulty in memory for locations and places?
    1. Left medial temporal lobe
    2. Right medial temporal lobe
    3. Bilateral medial temporal lobe
    4. Prefrontal cortex
  5. The amygdala, a structure in the medial temporal lobe, is important in declarative memory.
    1. True
    2. False
  7. Match the word to the process.
  8. A. Encoding
    B. Consolidation
    C. Storage
    D. Retrieval    		 ________  The process by which newly learned information is attended to and processed when first encountered.
    ________  The processes that alter newly stored and still labile information so as to make it more stable for long term storage.
    ________  The mechanisms and sites by which memory is retained over time.
    ________  Those processes that permit recall and use of stored information.
  9. For which of these processes is working memory not necessary?
    1. Encoding
    2. Consolidation
    3. Retrieval
    4. Both A and C

    2. Classical conditioning
    3. Operant conditioning
    4. Bait shyness

Chapter 63. Cellular Mechanisms of Learning and the Biological Basis of Individuality

  1. In this form of learning, an animal learns about the properties of a novel stimulus that is harmless.
    1. Habituation
    2. Sensitization
    3. Operant conditioning
    4. Long-term potentiation
  3. Which of the following involve an incease in the efficacy of synaptic transmission?
    1. Sensitization
    2. Habituation
    3. Long-term potentiation
    4. Both A and C
  5. Which of the following mechanisms is thought to be important in declarative memory in hippocampus?
    1. Habituation
    2. Sensitization
