N110 Leon Final UPDATED ACTUAL Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
What do humans remember - CORRECT ANSWER - - humans faces
- human interactions
- surprising events
- emotional events
- interesting things
- process info
- repeated info
what is short-term memory ---> long-term memory - CORRECT ANSWER - consolidation
What is the best way to study? - CORRECT ANSWER - - repeated testing
PTSD - CORRECT ANSWER - - memory improves with an emotional response, or
norepinephrine
- sometimes memory for a traumatic event is too strong---> PTSD
- soldiers often take Norep stimulants (adderall--> mimics Norep) which may increase PTSD
- can block bad memories from consolidating by blocking Norep beta recpetors
- recalled long-term memories must be reconsolidated, allowing you to erase them with beta
blockers
Amnesia - CORRECT ANSWER - - retrogade: can't remember past memories
- anterograde: can't form new memories
- global amnesia (dementia): both kinds of memory loss
HM has what removed and what did it cause? - CORRECT ANSWER - - hippocampus
removed developed anterograde amnesia
,- hippocampus removal produces a memory deficit for new facts
Hippocampus - CORRECT ANSWER - - not the site of long-term memory
- not needed for short-term memory
- needed to convert short term ---> long term (consolidation)
- required for new memories of facts, not for other forms of memory
Children raised in orphanages? - CORRECT ANSWER - - have post-institutional autistic
syndrome
- are not held enough
- receive no enriched environment or stimulation
Sensory Therapy (enabling a child to play) - CORRECT ANSWER - - 42% of children with
autism had a clinically significant improvement
- can help with social and repetitive behavior
- IQ improved by 8 points
- abnormal sensory responses improved by >11 points
- communication improved by >200%
- 21% no longer have autism
Mendability - CORRECT ANSWER - - compliance results in better outcomes
- effective at all levels of initial symptom severity
- effective for males and females
- effective at all ages
- effective for ADHD/Depression
Autism caused by measles , mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine? - CORRECT ANSWER --
measles was found in the gut of autism patients and not in other children
- proposed that measles virus could injure the gut and allow the release of toxins into the brain
, Evidence for not related? Autism and measles - CORRECT ANSWER - - MMR vaccine intro
was not accompanied by rise in autism
- vaccinated and unvaccinated children have same probability of autism
- An MMR booster was added seven year after initial intro, but no increase in autism
- no increase in autism in those who have measles
- report of measles virus in gut of autism patients was false
Does mercury in vaccines cause autism? - CORRECT ANSWER - - as number of vaccines for
children has increased, the number of autism cases has increased
- Thimerosal (ethyl mercury) is a mercury-based preservative used in vaccines
- methyl mercury is a neurotoxin
- Thimerosal injected into mice causes autism-like behavior
- Thimerosal damages cells in culture
Evidence for mercury in vaccine ---> autism ? - CORRECT ANSWER - - no differed in
autism rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated children
- no relationship between total amount of thimerosal injected and autism
- thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001, but autism rates did not decline
- no increase in autism in mercury-poisoned communities
- autism symptoms can be seen in children before vaccines are given to them
- genetic basis of the disorder has become evident; heritability is estimated to be 85%
Is immune system compromised by vaccines? - CORRECT ANSWER - - you would have to
exceed 10,000 vaccines doses at one time to have any negative effect
- more vaccines, but fewer antigens (<315 through year 2). In the 1980's each vaccine had
thousand of antigens
- children are exposed to 2,000-6,000 antigens from environment each day
