Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 1

1. The standard model of systems consolidation applies to declarative and procedural memory.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 2

2. According to the standard model of systems consolidation, the hippocampus is only temporarily involved in the consolidation of episodic and semantic memories.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 3

3. According to the standard model of systems consolidation, damage to the hippocampus would not cause retrograde amnesia if it occurred weeks after the memory was consolidated.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 4

4. Systems consolidation theory does not assume that repeated recall or repetition contributes to the memory becoming independent of the hippocampus.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 5

5. Most researchers agrees that the hippocampal component is critical for the initial acquisition and retrieval of episodic memories.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 6

6. Damage to the hippocampus prior to contextual fear conditioning produces severe amnesia for contextual fear memory.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 7

7. Damage to the hippocampus after contextual fear conditioning produces severe amnesia for contextual fear memory.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 8

8. Damage to the hippocampus after contextual fear conditioning has no effect on recall of the contextual fear memory.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 9

9. The animal research literature provides strong support for the standard model of systems consolidation.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 10

10. Based on the animal research using the contextual fear conditioning model, one should conclude that the standard model of systems consolidation is wrong.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 11

11. One interpretation of the animal literature is that the contextual fear conditioning model is inappropriate for evaluating the standard model because it does not depend on the pattern completion processes provide by the hippocampus.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 12

12. One can conclude from the animal research that there is a strong extrahippocampal system that can support contextual fear conditioning.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 13

13. There is no evidence that the extrahippocampal system acquires a contextual fear memory if the hippocampus is functioning normally at the time of conditioning.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 14

14. The extrahippocampal system acquires a contextual fear memory even if the hippocampus is functioning normally at the time of conditioning.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 15

15. Optogenetic but not DREADD methods revealed that a contextual fear memory is acquired by the extrahippocampal system even if the hippocampus is functioning normally at the time of conditioning.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 16

16. It requires about an hour for DREADDs to be activated.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 17

17. Optogenetics provides strong support for the idea that the contextual fear memory trace depends on the hippocampus for the life of the memory.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 18

18. According to competitive trace theory, episodic memories become more veridical as they age.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 19

19. According to competitive trace theory, episodic memories become distorted as they age.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 20

21. According to competitive trace theory, episodic memories become enriched with correct contextual details as they age.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 22

22. Competitive trace theory would predict that the veridicality of the memory would be preserved if the hippocampus was damaged after the memory was established.

a. True

b. False

Type: true-false

Title: Chapter 18 - Question 23
