Question 1

Daselaar et al. (2008) examined the neural correlates of retrieval from autobiographical memory.They found that:

Accepted Answer

A) those memories that were given high judgments of emotionality were correlated with greater activity in the occipital cortex. 
B) those memories that were given high judgments of emotionality were correlated with greater activity in the hippocampus and the amygdala in the limbic system. 
C) autobiographical memory was associated with increased blood flow to the pons and brainstem. 
D) autobiographical memory was associated with increased blood flow to Broca's area in the left frontal lobe. 
A) those memories that were given high judgments of emotionality were correlated with greater activity in the occipital cortex.

C) autobiographical memory was associated with increased blood flow to the pons and brainstem. 
D) autobiographical memory was associated with increased blood flow to Broca's area in the left frontal lobe.

Question 2

McIsaac and Eich (2004) found that when patients suffering from PTSD retrieved memories as field memories, their emotional response was more negative and more intense.When they asked participants to recall them as observer memories they experienced more PTSD symptoms.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 3

Ahmet is 82 years old, has normal memory for someone of his age, and has lived all his life in Egypt.Based on data on the reminiscence bump, you would expect that:

Accepted Answer

A) Ahmet would have less of a recency effect than an American senior. 
B) Ahmet would show an earlier reminiscence bump than an American senior. 
C) Ahmet would show a later reminiscence bump than an American senior. 
D) Ahmet would not differ with respect to the reminiscence bump relative to an American senior. 
A) Ahmet would have less of a recency effect than an American senior. 
B) Ahmet would show an earlier reminiscence bump than an American senior. 
C) Ahmet would show a later reminiscence bump than an American senior. 
D) Ahmet would not differ with respect to the reminiscence bump relative to an American senior.

Question 4

In a landmark diary study, a Willem Wagenaar, a Dutch psychologist, recorded over 2,400 events over the course of six years (Wagenaar, 1986).Wagenaar found that:

Accepted Answer

A) he could recall remarkably few of the events even with many cues. 
B) cues did not improve his ability to recall autobiographical events. 
C) using "when" as a cue led to fewer memories than using "who," "where," or "what" as a cue. 
D) he could remember many details from trips that he made abroad, but very little of his daily routines.
