sleep-dependent memory consolidation - correct answer -idea that
sleep enhances the consolidation of memories
state-dependent learning - correct answer -idea that memory retrieval
is better when a person's internal state, such as mood or awareness,
during retrieval matches their internal state during encoding
tone-shock pairing - correct answer -an association between a neutral
stimulus and an aversive stimulus in classical conditioning
,work in progress - correct answer -concept that memory is not static or

new learning and changing conditions
