Across
- 2. Memory built by remembering what was remembered previously and believing that this is the memory of the original event
- 4. Any event that reduces the likelihood of a particular response occurring over time
- 5. A hormone that triggers physiological arousal
- 8. Inability to encode and store new memories. Generally associated with damage to the temporal lobe and hippocampus (two words)
- 10. A type of learning in which a behaviour becomes controlled by its consequences. Also a three-phase model (two words)
- 12. Cognitive aspect of observational learning where behaviour and consequence are observed
- 15. A hormone produced by nerve cells and secreted into circulation
- 16. Name given to the conditioned stimulus before it becomes conditioned (two words)
- 17. Brief duration and unlimited capacity, relating to the senses including iconic and echoic memory (two words)
- 23. During immediate free recall, items at the beginning or end of a list are remembered better than those in the middle. Comprises of the primacy effect and recency effect (three words)
- 24. When an organism responds to a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus (two words)
- 28. Forms of long-term non-declarative memory including emotional memories are located in this part of the brain
- 29. The ability of the brain's synapses to be modified (two words)
- 30. Any stimulus which consistently produces a particular naturally occurring automatic response (two words)
- 37. Condition that influenced behaviour by predicting the likely outcome of a behaviour
- 38. Persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity, producing a long-lasting increase in signal transmission between two neurons (two words)
- 39. Reflexive response elicited by previously neutral stimulus through repeated association. Also a three-phase process (two words)
- 40. Cue to assist retrieval from long-term memory, due to the external environment in which learning took place (three words)
- 41. Information is encoded and stored here. Memory store with unlimited capacity and duration (three words)
- 42. An excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain involved in learning
- 43. Evidence given by a person who saw a crime committed (two words)
- 44. Strategy for keeping information in short-term memory or for moving it into long-term memory by repeating information over and over, but not by trying to form meaningful connections between new and existing information in memory (two words)
- 45. The drive to perform a behaviour which achieves a certain goal
Down
- 1. Processes of consolidation and retrieval of long-term declarative memories is located in this part of the brain
- 2. A process of retrieval which requires the identification of a correct response from a set of alternatives
- 3. Receives information from long-term memory and sensory memory. Has limited capacity of 7 +/- 2 pieces of information and a duration of approximately 12-20 seconds (three words)
- 5. Multi-store model of memory which suggests that memory is comprised of three memory stores: A sensory store, a short-term memory store and a long-term memory store (two words)
- 6. Classically conditioned responses (implicit memories) are located in this part of the brain
- 7. An automatic response established by training to an ordinarily neutral stimulus (two words)
- 9. Process by which meaning is given to information and it is linked with information in our memories (two words)
- 11. Neurodegenerative disease involving gradual memory loss, confusion and impaired attention. Affects the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (two words)
- 13. When there is a positive result for imitating a behaviour, the behaviour will be repeated
- 14. Where a person learns by watching the behaviour demonstrated by another person (two words)
- 18. The removal, reduction or prevention of an unpleasant stimulus in response to a behaviour, increasing the likelihood that a behaviour will be repeated (two words)
- 19. Learner generates the behaviour previously learnt in the process of observational learning
- 20. Activity dependent reduction in the efficacy of neuronal synapses lasting hours or longer following a long patterned stimulus (two words)
- 21. The reappearance of an extinguished response after a rest period (two words)
- 22. Learning something again that has already been committed to memory. Also the most sensitive method of retention
- 25. When an organism responds to the conditioned stimulus but not to any stimulus which is similar to the conditioned stimulus (two words)
- 26. A consequence that strengthens a behavioural response by providing a pleasant outcome (two words)
- 27. Retrieval of stored information using minimal cues
- 31. Chemicals that help the communication across nerve synapses
- 32. A form of punishment that occurs when something desirable is removed (two words)
- 33. When a response no longer occurs
- 34. The storing of learnt behaviour in memory
- 35. Short-term memory is located in this part of the brain (two words)
- 36. Famous case of classical conditioning research conducted by John B. Watson that contravened many ethical principles (two words)
