PSYC 230 Final ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Top Down Processing - CORRECT ANSWER - Applying previous knowledge to our
cognitions
Hippocampus - CORRECT ANSWER - Damage to this part of the brain causes
anterograde amnesia
Frontal Lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - associated with reasoning, planning, parts of
speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving
Parietal Lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - receives sensory input for touch and body position
Temporal Lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for
hearing and language.
Face recognition.
Occipital Lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - visual processing
pre-central gyrus - CORRECT ANSWER - primary motor cortex
post-central gyrus - CORRECT ANSWER - primary somatosensory cortex
Patient AJ - CORRECT ANSWER - superior autobiographical memory
Patient H.M. - CORRECT ANSWER - Had hippocampus removed and became unable to
make long term memories. Demostrated memories are encoded by the hippocampus
, Patient DF - CORRECT ANSWER - Temporal damage; had trouble matching orientation
of card slot, but no trouble putting card through a slot ("what" term-22pathway affected,
"how/where" pathway fine) - shows double dissociation
Could not identify family members
Patient KF - CORRECT ANSWER - could form new long-term memories, but when asked
to recall a list of digits, could only remember one or two at a time.
Had damage to sylvian fissuer which caused STM deficits.
Showed STM and LTM do not relate to each other
Anterograde Amnesia - CORRECT ANSWER - an inability to form new memories
FALSE - CORRECT ANSWER - TRUE or FALSE: STM is needed for LTM to work.
Clive Wearing - CORRECT ANSWER - • Developed amnesia due to an illness that
destroyed his hippocampus.
• Couldn't form new memories as he could not transfer information from the STM to the LTM.
• Can still access his LTM as he still plays and reads music. These skills would be stored in the
LTM and shows that the STM and LTM are separate stores
Brocas Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER - Not fluent aphasia. Issue with grammar but
syntax is fine.
Wernickes Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER - Fluent aphasia, poor comprehension. Issue
with syntax but grammar is fine. They are unaware their speech is meaninfless.
Paraphasia - CORRECT ANSWER - abnormal speech (speech errors)
