Exam 16: Memory Systems and the Hippocampus

Endel Tulving argued that episodic memory should be considered as separate from declarative memory.

Semantic memory is sometimes said to be free of _______.

How are episodic and semantic memory systems similar? How are they different?

According to the modular view, the entorhinal cortex is on top of the hierarchy for episodic memory.

The delay matching to sample task can be performed without a hippocampus.

The idea that the brain sorts memories by their content is called the _______ perspective.

Patients with selective damage to the hippocampus that was sustained in early childhood had impaired cognitive function and severe amnesia.

The correct choice on the DNMS task is the sample object

According to the _______ view, damage to the hippocampus will disrupt both semantic and episodic memory.

Mishkin originally used the DNMS task because he believed it _______. (Select all that apply.)

Mishkin wrongly concluded that both the hippocampus and _______ were critical for episodic memory

The patient in Claparède's experiment could not remember that Claparède stuck him with a pin but would not shake hands.

Henry Molaison could learn and retain the skills needed to perform the _______ and rotary-pursuit tasks.

It is likely that the monkeys with damage to the hippocampus were using recognition based on familiarity to perform the DNMS.

The patient in Claparède's experiment could remember that Claparède stuck him with a pin but would still shake hands.

Henry Molaison had extensive anterograde and retrograde amnesia, but his short-term memory was intact.

It is difficult to develop an animal model of episodic memory because animals can't directly tell the experiment what they recall.

In the case of Henry Molaison, the _______ were bilaterally removed.

Declarative memory includes episodic memory and _______ memory.

According to the _______ view, damage to the hippocampus will disrupt episodic but not semantic memory.
