| sensory, short-term, long-term | 3 stages of memory formation |
| sensory | firt stage of memory formation |
| short-term | 2nd stage memory formation |
| long-term | 3rd state memory formation |
| Iconic | vision memory (sensory) |
| Echoic | auditory memory (sensory) |
| Haptic | touch memory (sensory) |
| small fraction | amount of info passed from sensory to short-term memory |
| working | another term for short-term memory |
| non-declarative memory | unconscious memory |
| implicit | another term for non-declarative memory |
| declarative memory | conscious memory |
| explicit | another term for declarative memory |
| recall facts | with declarative memory people |
| acquire motor skills | with non-declarative memory people |
| hippocampus | where consolidation takes place |
| amygdala | related to fear conditioning |
| basal ganglia | where motor learning takes place |
| cerebral cortex | made up of the frontal, temporal and occipital areas |
| anterograde amnesia | inability to form new short-term memories |
| C1 | if there is damage here it causes some anterograde amnesia |
| C1-4 | damage here causes severe anterograde amnesia |
| another area (I can't remember the name!-look it up on the index card) | damage here causes retrograde amnesia |
| retrograde amnesia | inability to remember events prior to impairment |
| Long-term Potentiation | increase in likelihood of a neuron firing to a given stimuli |
| Long-term Depression | decrease in likelihood of a neuron firing |
| NMDA receptor | central part of LTP (Long-term potentiation) |
| AMPA receptor | paired with the NMDA receptors |
| opens | with stimulation of the AMPA receptor the NMDA receptor |
| sodium and calcium (Na & Ca) | NMDA receptor allows influx of |
| Calcium (Ca) | modulates the expression of the AMPA receptros |
| activation and Long-term Potentiation | memory formation is strengthened by |
