Study Questions
Remember that you should choose only one answer at a time. Learning and Memory 

1. Learning of the NMR CR is disrupted by lesions of:

1)portions of the interpositus nucleus 2) Dorsal Accessory portion of the Inferior Olive 3) The anterior thalamic nucleus 4) Red nucleus

A. 1, 2, 3
B. 1, 3, 4
C. 1, 2, 4
D. all of the above
E. none of the above

2. Evidence for the red nucleus being a site where information is stored comes from

 1) Tsukahara's work on limb flexion 2) Plasticity in cortical-rubral connections 3) Formation of connections between facial N. and red nucleus

A. 1, 2
B. 3
C. 2, 3
D. all of the above
E. none of the above

3. Marr and Albus developed formal models of learning based on hippocampal structures and activity.(p. 185 Dudai)

True
False

4. The selectivity distirbuted processing model

provides a model that trie to explain classical conditioning.
a model of the nictating membrane response
suggests that memories are not stored in the limbic system
suggests that memories are stored in the temporal lobes
suggests that memories are stored in the thalamus

5. H.M was a pivotal case study with respect to memory and memory formation because:

different types of information are stored in different ways
relationship between limbic system and explicit or delcarative memory
memory functions can be dissasociated from other mental functions
1 and 2
all of the above

6.(T/F) Capgras syndrome is associated with deficits in motor learning.

True
False

7. (T/F) Architectural and computational complexity of the interaction between limbic and associational cortex provides human memory with remarkable flexibility and inventiveness at the expense of possible distortion.

True
False
