CSCC Human Physiology Exam 2
UPDATED Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Motor Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - Skill Memory ( a skill that you learn by doing)
like riding a bike it is hard to unlearn. Also called nondeclartive memory.
Reflexive Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - Skill memory that has now become like
second nature-you do it without thinking about it ant all (like a basketball player who can shoot
the ball into the hoop.
Explicit Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - this is long term memory that can be
verbalized. It is also call declarative memory.
Abstract memory - CORRECT ANSWER - Type of Explicit memory, Fact memory (
learning facts, like the names of bones
Episodic memory - CORRECT ANSWER - Type of Explicit memory, Event memory ( this
allows you to learn some facts better when you correlate them with events
Short Term Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - this is limited in time (last for a few
seconds to a few minutes) and amount of information which can be stored (only 7 out of 8
chunks of information)
Long Term Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - unlimited in time and amount of
information.
Consolidation - CORRECT ANSWER - this is the process by which short term memories
become long term memories
, Consolidation of Abstract Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - involves rehearsal (going
over it again and again)
Consolidation of Episodic Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - occurs by remembering the
event
Recall of Abstract Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - bringing it to consciousness
Recall of Episodic Memory - CORRECT ANSWER - by visual cues
Sensory Cortex and thalamus - CORRECT ANSWER - episodic and fact memory
Limbic System - CORRECT ANSWER - Invovled in memory and learning.
Right Hemisphere - CORRECT ANSWER - involved in the ability to recognize symbols,
patterns, faces, etc. Also involved in the ability to recognize emotion in speech
Left Hemisphere - CORRECT ANSWER - involved in language (in over 90% of people)
word recognition and knowing what we want to say and saying it (or writing it)
Wernicke's Area (Dominant Hemisphere) - CORRECT ANSWER - involved in the
comprehension of speech. "the brains dictionary"That is knowing what you are hearing or
reading and knowing what you are saying or writing
Broca's Area (Dominant Hemisphere) - CORRECT ANSWER - responsible for
articulation of speech (making the words come out of your mouth). If this area is damaged, the
person knows what he wants to say but can't say it (he can however write it down)
Analog to Wernike's Area (non-dominant Hemisphere) - CORRECT ANSWER - involved
in the recognition of symbols, patterns, faces, etc
