1According to Hebb's rule...
- AClassical conditioning is a good model for memory and forgetfulness
- BAssociative learning is related to the increased response in the post-synaptic neuron after a few high frequency pre-synaptic stimuli
- CInstrumental conditioning can be explained by the balance between different synaptic connections
- DA weak synapse will be strengthened if its activation occurs at the same time that the postsynaptic neuron fires
2The preforant pathway of the entorhinal cortex...
- AInterconnects the CA1 and CA3 fields within the hippocampus
- BIs another name for the fornix
- CInterconnects the granule cells ofthe dentate gyrus with the amygdala
- DLeads to the dentate gyrus within the hippocampal formation
3Receptors for which of the following neurotransmitters are usually involved in long-term potentiation?
- ASerotonin
- BDopamine
- CGlutamate
- DGABA
4What normally prevents the calcium channel of the NMDA receptor from opening in response to glutamate only?
- AThe channel is blocked by magnesium ions
- BThe channel is blocked by sodium ions
- CGlutamate requires the presence of GABA in order to open the channel
- DGlutamate requires the presence of glycine in order to open the channel
5The induction of long-term potentiation in the hippocampus would be blocked by...
- AA drug such as AP5 that blocks NMDA receptors
- BUsing high-frequency pulses
- CA drug that activates NMDA receptors
- DInjection into the postsynaptic cell of a drug that activates calcium ions
6Which of the following is true of long-term depression (LTD)?
- ALTD can be produced by high-frequency stimulation of CA1 neurons
- BLTD reflects a gradual strengthening of synaptic connections
- CLTD is associated with a decrease in the number of AMPA receptors in the postsynaptic neuron
- DLTD is associated with an increase in the number of AMPA receptors in the postsynaptic neuron
7The primary function of perceptual learning is to...
- AIdentify and categorise objects
- BMake an association between two stimuli
- CLearn to adjust behaviour according to its consequences
- DExhibit a specific system to detect accurately the location of a stimulus
8In a conditioned emotional response study, a tone is paired with an electric shock to your hand. After several trials, the tone alone becomes a conditioned stimulus that can elicit fear in you. Which of the following is true of the anatomy of this fear response?
- ADamage to the amygdala facilitates emotional responding
- BDamage to the lateral nucleus of the amygdala impairs the learning of conditioned associations
- CDamage to the visual association cortex would prevent the learning of the conditioned associations in this instance
- DDamage to the lateral nucleus of the pre-frontal cortex impairs the learning of conditioned associations
9Which of the following is NOT true of instrumental (operant) conditioning?
- AIt involves a simple association between two stimuli
- BIt involves learning the relationship between a response to a stimulus and a reward
- CIt permits an organism to adjust its behaviour according to the consequences of that behaviour
- DEither punishment or reward can reinforce it
10An instrumental (operatn) response that produces a favourable consequence...
- AWill be immediately suppressed
- BWill occur more frequently
- CWeakens adjacent circuits in the brain
- DIs an important component of perceptual learning
11Damage to which of the following structures would be expected to impair instrumental (operant) conditioning?
- AAmygdala
- BHypothalamus
- CBasal ganglia
- DFrontal cortex
12An example of a natural reinforcer is...
- ACocaine
- BAmphetamine
- CDopamine
- DFood for a hungry person
13Which of the following is important for the acquisition of complex behaviours?
- AThe behaviour must result in long-term depression of the basal ganglia
- BAs the person becomes more proficient in the new behaviour, the transcortical circuits become more active
- CAs a person becomes more proficient in the behaviour, the control of the process is transferred to the basal ganglia
- DAs a person becomes more proficient in the behaviour, the control of the process is transferred to the transcortical pathways
14A person with amnesia due to Korsakoff's syndrome is most likely to have severe damage in the...
- AHippocampus
- BFornix
- CMammillary bodies
- DCingulate gyrus
15One striking aspect of patient H.M.'s deficit was that he...
- ACould learn some new tasks but was unaware of having learned them
- BReversed word order in repeated sentences
- CIndicated that he remembered things he had never seen
- DOnly remembered recent facts
