Compare retrospective coding to prospective coding.When is each used?

Describe spatial learning tasks and mechanisms that have been used to explain efficient performance in this situation.

Compare and contrast working and reference memory.

Compare and contrast traditional and contemporary views of memory storage and recall and the implications of these views for the accuracy of recollections.

Describe the phenomenon of directed forgetting and what it tells us about memory processes.

When he first begins shopping, Peter is able to remember what he has in his cart without referring to his list.He is using

CaMKII enhances synaptic efficacy by activating

Items in working memory

When rats and humans were both required to perform in a radial arm-type spatial memory task, researchers determined that

Monkeys are presented with a series of stimuli in a delayed matching to sample task.First a white light signals the start of the trial.Then a green light is presented, followed by the red sample light, a delay, and then the test stimuli of a green light and a red light.This experiment is designed to explore

If a hamster in a radial maze is keeping in mind where it has been, it is using

Describe how retrospective and prospective coding can be differentiated experimentally.

Reference memory is

Which of the following can serve as a retrieval cue?

Which of the following is not an adaptive feature of forgetting?

Your friend has volunteered for a psychology demonstration.She will be taught a list of words while wearing SCUBA gear at the bottom of a pool, and then she will be asked to remember the words when she returns to class.This demonstration is most likely exploring

The available evidence suggests that rats navigate correctly in radial arm mazes by

Compare the learning of a general rule to the learning of specific rules.Under what circumstances will general rules be learned? What causes specific rules to be learned?

Directed forgetting studies support all of the following conclusions except

Infants were trained to kick in order to move a mobile.24 hours later, one group of these infants was tested in the presence of the same contextual cues; another group was tested in the presence of a context familiar to them, but different from the training situation.The infants tested in the training context performed much better, probably because of
