Episodic & Semantic Memory (Practice questions with correct answers)

Non-declarative Memory correct answers Priming, Perceptual Learning, Procedural, Classical Conditioning, Habituation Priming correct answers Amnesiacs exhibit control response to priming (not using MTL to fill in Stem/Fragment Completion) Perceptual Learning correct answers Detecting a target within visual white noise, amnesiacs become faster after many trials though they think it's their first time Classical Conditioning correct answers conditions a paired response between a neutral stimulus and a non-neutral stimulus. When trace interval introduced between the two stimuli, amnesics no longer experience conditioning. Habituation correct answers Amnesics eventually have reduced startle response Patient KC correct answers Complete loss of episodic memory (present and future) due to diffuse brain damage; damage to engrams in cortex. Prior semantic intact but anterograde amnesia for declarative memories. Working memory okay. Semantic Memories vs Episodic Memories correct answers KC able to learn new semantic memories but not episodic (they are different systems) Patient EP correct answers Similar to HM (bilateral MTL lesions) and able to learn new words pairs but NOT semantic memory, instead it is priming (unconscious knowledge and inflexible). Plus, no acquisition of recent daily semantic memories. (HM and KC) vs EP on semantic memory abilities correct answers HM and KC able to learn some new semantic memories but EP totally unable to. Due to removal of entire MTL in EP but some residual MTL in HM and KC. EP correct answers lost entire MTL: cannot form new declarative memories, temporally graded retrograde amnesia HM correct answers lost most of MTL: very impaired in forming new declarative memories, non-declarative okay, temporally graded retrograde amnesia KC correct answers lost most of MTL + other area damage: very impaired in forming new declarative memories, non-declarative okay, complete retrograde amnesia for episodic memory
