1What is the principle difference between Classical conditioning and operant conditioning?
- AClassical conditioning leads to automatic responses and operant conditioning leads to voluntary behaviours
- BClassical conditioning leads to voluntary behaviours and operant conditioning leads to automatic responses

20Memories become more dependent on hippocampal formation the longer they are stored
- ATrue
- BFalse
21[blank_start]-Sensory memory[blank_end]: A brief period of time that the initial sensation of environmental stimuli is initially remembered
[blank_start]-Short-term memory[blank_end]: Contains information from sensory memory only if it is meaningful or salient enough
[blank_start]-Long term memory[blank_end]: Information from short-term that gets consolidated
