Type: essay/short answer question
Title: Chapter 12 - Question 26
26. A behavioral experience can have two independent effects. What are they?
Type: essay/short answer question
Title: Chapter 12 - Question 27
27. What are memory modulators?
Type: essay/short answer question

28. How was strychnine, a lethal poison, used to study memory modulation?
Type: essay/short answer question
Title: Chapter 12 - Question 29
