Memory
Cards in this deck (31)
- 1what is the definition of learninga relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience
- 2What is the definition of memoryAn active information processing system that encodes, stores and recovers information
- 3what is synaptogenesisthe formation of a synapse between neurons
- 4what is memory tracephysical evidence of a memory
- 5what are the 5 stages of neural plasticityProliferation
Migration
Circuit formation
Circuit pruning
Myelination - 6what is muscle memorywhen the neurons get so used to doing something that it becomes almost impossible to break
- 7what is long term potentiationthe increase in synaptic strength through high frequency stimulation of the synaptic pathway
- 8what is long term depressionthe reduction in the efficiency in synaptic connections
- 9what is proliferationneurons that are growing and growing
- 10what is migrationneurons move to where they need to go
- 11what is circuit formationthe neurons from a circuit (they work together)
- 12what is circuit pruninggetting rid of things that you dont need
- 13what is myelinationmaking sure the axons are safe and built for speed
- 14what are two types of neurotransmittersadrenaline and glutamate
- 15what is adrenalines role in consolidationit enhances the consolidation of long term memories of emotionally arousing experiences (more likely to be remembered)
- 16what is synaptic plasticitythe ability of a synapse to change over time through time through use or disuse
- 17what is a neurohormonea chemical messenger manufactured by a neuron that is released into the bloodstream and carried to target neurons or cells
- 18what is a neurotransmittera chemical substance produced by a neuron that carries a message to other neurons or cells
- 19what is glutamates role in synaptic plasticitycan bind neurons together through synaptic plasticity involved in long term potentiation
- 20what is classical conditioninga simple form of learning, which occurs through repeated association of two different stimuli to produce a naturally occurring response
- 21what is stimulus discriminationwhen an individual only elicits the conditioned response to the original conditioned stimulus
- 22what is stimulus generalisationthe tendency for a stimulus similar to the original conditioned stimulus to produce a response that is similar to the conditioned response
- 23what is acquisitionthe development of a conditioned response through the repeated association between the UCS and CS
- 24what is extinctionthe disappearance of a CR following a lack of pairing of the UCS with the CS
- 25what is spontaneous recoveryfollowing extinction and a rest period the CR reappears at the presentation of the CS
- 26Whats at the "before" stage of classical conditioning For a doing salivating at his food at the sound of a bell(NS) BELL ---> NO RESPONSE
- 27Whats at the "during" stage of classical conditioning For a doing salivating at his food at the sound of a bellBell (NS) + Food (UCS) --->
Salivate at food (UCR) - 28Whats at the "after" stage of classical conditioning For a doing salivating at his food at the sound of a bellBell (CS) ----> Salivate at bell (CR)
- 29What is operant conditioninga learning process in which the likelihood of a particular behaviour occurring is determined by the consequences of that behaviour
- 30what is the 3 phase model (ABC)Antecedent
Behaviour
Consequence - 31what is antecedentalso kno
