PSYC 2301 EXAM 3 FINAL PAPER 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS AND FULL SOLUTION UPDATED
◉ episodic memory.
Answer: the collection of past personal experiences that occurred at
a particular time and place
◉ semantic memory.
Answer: network of associated facts and concepts that make up our
general knowledge of the world
◉ procedural memory.
Answer: a part of the long-term memory that is responsible for
knowing how to do things, also known as motor skills
◉ flashbulb memory.
Answer: detailed recollections of when and where we heard about
shocking events
◉ encoding specificity principle.
Answer:
,◉ state dependent learning.
Answer: tendency for information to be better recalled when the
person is in the same state during encoding and retrieval
◉ important brain structures in memory.
Answer: amygdala
hippocampus
cerebellum
◉ amygdala.
Answer: part of limbic system that plays a central role in many
emotional processes, particularly the formation of emotional
memories
-The amygdala boosts activity and proteins in the brain's memory
areas.
◉ hippocampus.
Answer: • Processes explicit memories for facts and episodes
• Feeds memories to other brain areas for storage
• Part of limbic system
• Active during slow wave sleep
◉ cerebellum.
, Answer: • Crucial to the formation of implicit memories
• Plays key role in forming and storing memories created by classical
conditioning
• Damage to cerebellum disrupts forming conditioned reflex
◉ long-term potentiation.
Answer: a process whereby communication across the synapse b/w
neurons strengthens the connections, making further
communication easier
-LTP-blocking drugs interfered w memory
-Mice that lack an enzyme needed for LTP cannot navigate a maze
-Injecting rats w/a chemical that blocks LTP erases recent learning
-Rats that are ingest an LTP enhancing drug learns a maze w half the
number of usual
◉ strategies to improve memory.
Answer: • Use distributed (spaced) practice
• Make the material meaningful
• Activate retrieval cues
• Use mnemonic devices
• Minimize inference
• Sleep more
• Test yourself
