NRSC 4032 CHAPTER 9 QUESTIONS AND ANSWE RS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024 T/F Studies of LTP provide a foundation for uncovering memory molecules. - ANSWER T The existence of a memory trace is inferred when the ______ influences behavior. - ANSWER training experience Describe 3 methods for influencing brain function: - ANSWER 1. experimentally damaging a particular region of the brain 2. injecting drugs into the brain that are designed to influence some aspect of neural function 3. genetic engineering to increase or decrease the expression of a potential memory molecule T/F LTP is memory. - ANSWER F Forgetting the location of a book or a coffee cup, only to remember it later is an example of: - ANSWER retrieval failure Which of the following statements about memory and the mind is true? a. an LTP inducing stimulus produces a memory b. memories result from behavioral experiences c. behavior is the window to the mind d. memories are directly observable - ANSWER b & c In inhibitory avoidance conditioning, it is assumed that the strength of the memory trace is reflected in the ______. - ANSWER response latency Amnesia for events experienced prior to the blow to the head that caused it is an example of: - ANSWER retrograde amnesia What is the difference between amnesia due to retrieval failure versus storage failure? - ANSWER Memories can be recovered if the amnesia is a retrieval failure but not if it is a storage failure. T/F On a probe test in the Morris water test, the hidden platform is removed. - ANSWER T T/F In the object in context task, animals memory is demonstrated if the animal explores the object that was present in the training context. - ANSWER F, the animal explores the object that wasn't present in the training context Why is test behavior considered the window to the memory trace? - ANSWER because without a measurable behavioral test response, there would be no evidence that the training phase produced a memory trace When the response measure is at its maximum, researches should be wary of the ______. - ANSWER ceiling effect T/F If amnesia is due to a retrieval failure it can be recovered. - ANSWER T Explain the floor effect. - ANSWER When a treatment is hypothesized to impair the memory processes that produce avoidance behavior, but the performance measure was too low to be further reduced by the drug. T/F If the experimenter wants to study a drug that might interfere with memory, then the floor effect would be a problem to avoid. - ANSWER T Which of the following is true? a. behavior is the window to memory b. behavioral tests are perfect indicators of memory c. many component systems contribute to behaviors used to test memory retrieval d. emotional processes can interfere with memory retrieval - ANSWER a, c & dThe benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
