STUDY SHEET 2026 VERIFIED QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS
◉Reflexive Memory. Answer: Skill memory that has become like
second nature and you can do it without thinking about it: like a
basketball player who can shoot the ball into the hoop
◉Explicit memory. Answer: - Long term memory that can be
verbalized
- AKA declarative memory
- 2 types: abstract and episodic
◉Abstract explicit memory. Answer: Fact memory: learning names
of bones
◉Episodic explicit memory. Answer: - Event memory: remembering
events
- Allows you to learn facts better when you can correlate them with
events
◉Short term memory. Answer: - Memory limited in time - a few
seconds to a few minutes
,- Memory limited in the amount of information that can be stored - 7
or 8 chunks of info
◉Long term memory. Answer: - Memory unlimited in time stored
and amount of information stored
- Involves permanent changes in neurons and synapses through the
production of new proteins
◉Consolidation. Answer: - The process by which short term
memories become long term memories
◉Consolidation of abstract memory. Answer: - Involves rehearsal:
going over it again and again
- Involves associating new information with old information already
stored in long term memory
- Involves your emotional state: consolidation occurs best when you
are alert, motivated, and aroused; norepi
- Sleep, especially stage 3 is needed for optimal memory
consolidation
◉Recall of abstract memory happens by. Answer: bringing it to
consciousness
,◉Consolidation of episodic memory. Answer: Occurs by
remembering the event
◉Recall of episodic memory happens by. Answer: visual cues
◉Sensory cortex and thalamus. Answer: Brain region for episodic
and fact memory
◉Limbic system. Answer: - Brain region for explicit facts and
experiences that can be put into words
- For consolidation of memories
◉Right hemisphere. Answer: - Involved in the ability to recognize
symbols, patterns, faces, etc.
- Involved in the ability to recognize emotion in speech
◉Left hemisphere. Answer: Involved in language (90% of people):
word recognition and knowing what we want to say and
saying/writing it
◉What is usually the dominant hemisphere?. Answer: Left
hemisphere
, ◉Wernicke's Area. Answer: Involved in word recognition and
comprehension - knowing what you are hearing/reading and
knowing what you are saying/writing
◉Broca's Area. Answer: - Responsible for the articulation of speech -
making the words come out of your mouth
- If this area is damaged, the person knows what they want to say
but can't say it, can only write it
◉What is usually the non-dominant hemisphere?. Answer: Right
hemisphere
◉Analog to Wernicke's Area. Answer: Involved in the recognition of
symbols, patterns, faces, etc.
◉Analog to Broca's Area. Answer: Involved in the ability to
recognize emotion in speech
◉Skeletal muscle organization. Answer: - Muscle is made of
individual muscle cells/fibers
- Cells are made up of myofibrils
- Myo fibrils are made up of sarcomeres
- Sarcomeres are the functional unit of skeletal muscle - the smallest
part that contracts
