CSCC SU18 EXAM SCRIPT 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
●● Reflexive Memory.
Answer: Skill memory that has become like second nature and you can
do it without thinking about it: like a basketball player who can shoot the
ball into the hoop
●● Explicit memory.
Answer: - Long term memory that can be verbalized
- AKA declarative memory
- 2 types: abstract and episodic
●● Abstract explicit memory.
Answer: Fact memory: learning names of bones
●● Episodic explicit memory.
Answer: - Event memory: remembering events
- Allows you to learn facts better when you can correlate them with
events
,●● Short term memory.
Answer: - Memory limited in time - a few seconds to a few minutes
- Memory limited in the amount of information that can be stored - 7 or
8 chunks of info
●● Long term memory.
Answer: - Memory unlimited in time stored and amount of information
stored
- Involves permanent changes in neurons and synapses through the
production of new proteins
●● Consolidation.
Answer: - The process by which short term memories become long term
memories
●● Consolidation of abstract memory.
Answer: - Involves rehearsal: going over it again and again
- Involves associating new information with old information already
stored in long term memory
- Involves your emotional state: consolidation occurs best when you are
alert, motivated, and aroused; norepi
- Sleep, especially stage 3 is needed for optimal memory consolidation
●● Recall of abstract memory happens by.
,Answer: bringing it to consciousness
●● Consolidation of episodic memory.
Answer: Occurs by remembering the event
●● Recall of episodic memory happens by.
Answer: visual cues
●● Sensory cortex and thalamus.
Answer: Brain region for episodic and fact memory
●● Limbic system.
Answer: - Brain region for explicit facts and experiences that can be put
into words
- For consolidation of memories
●● Right hemisphere.
Answer: - Involved in the ability to recognize symbols, patterns, faces,
etc.
- Involved in the ability to recognize emotion in speech
●● Left hemisphere.
, Answer: Involved in language (90% of people): word recognition and

●● What is usually the dominant hemisphere?.
Answer: Left hemisphere
●● Wernicke's Area.
Answer: Involved in word recognition and comprehension - knowing
what you are hearing/reading and knowing what you are saying/writing
●● Broca's Area.
Answer: - Responsible for the articulation of speech - making the words
come out of your mouth
- If this area is damaged, the person knows what they want to say but
can't say it, can only write it
●● What is usually the non-dominant hemisphere?.
Answer: Right hemisphere
●● Analog to Wernicke's Area.
Answer: Involved in the recognition of symbols, patterns, faces, etc.
●● Analog to Broca's Area.
