About Learning and Memory
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources follow learning and memory from behaviour down to cells. Several mind maps set out the big picture: memory as the lifelong adaptation of the brain to its environment, and the split between declarative (explicit) memory for facts and events and implicit (nondeclarative) memory for perceptual and motor skills.
Others go deeper into the hippocampus, spatial and episodic memory, and synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation, NMDA receptors and presynaptic mechanisms in the CA1 region.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map called Learning and Memory, which lays out the main terms. Follow it with the Memory mind map, then Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity once the vocabulary feels familiar. If you prefer case studies, The Case of HM is a good next stop.
- Read an overview map to see how the memory types fit together.
- Move to the Hippocampus, Memory and Synaptic Plasticity map for spatial and episodic memory.
- Work through a flashcard deck such as Spatial Cognition or Neurobiology 2.
Using maps, flashcards and quizzes together
Maps show how ideas connect, so use them first. Flashcards then drill the details: time courses of working, short-term and long-term memory, what CA stands for, or how classical conditioning is described. The Biological Basis of Learning - Short Answer deck suits this well, with prompts to describe the HM case study and contrast declarative and non-declarative memory.
Finish with a quiz. The Hippocampus and Cerebellum Role in Memory quiz and Cognitive Neuroscience - Learning are useful checks. Wrong answers point you back to the map or deck that covers that gap.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Cognitive Neuroscience strand of Neuroscience. Teachers can pull in maps and decks as ready-made material for a lecture or seminar, since everything was made by GoConqr users.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map called Learning and Memory. It outlines the lifelong adaptation of the brain, the main memory types and the split between declarative and implicit memory. After that, the Memory mind map and Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity take you further in.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover memory classification, the hippocampus, spatial and episodic memory, long-term potentiation, NMDA receptors, memory consolidation, reinforcement learning and the case of HM. There are over 70 maps, so you can pick the angle that matches your course.
Are there quizzes for checking my understanding?
Yes, there are over 10 quizzes. Examples include Cognitive Neuroscience - Learning, The Hippocampus and Cerebellum Role in Memory, and Navigational memory hypppocampus. Use them after a map or flashcard deck to see which areas need more work.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
What level are the resources?
All of them are at university level. They suit university students working through lectures on learning and memory, and teachers who want ready-made maps, decks and quizzes to share or adapt.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try the flashcard decks and notes, which often cover lecture-specific topics such as songbird learning, habituation and sensitisation, or the neuropsychology of memory. If a topic is still missing, you can build your own map or deck.
