Which of the following statement is not correct regarding the aging memory system?

Select one of the following:

  • Older adults often have trouble remembering details of events.

  • Older adults show more bilateral activation in some brain regions (the HAROLD model) when performing memory tasks.

Explanation

Question 4 of 18

1

Which of the following statements is not correct?

Select one of the following:

  • The ability of patients (such as H.M.) to learn new motor tasks despite an anterograde amnesia has be taken as evidence for multiple memory systems.

  • Declarative memory is representational, thus, it can be true or false.

  • Declarative memory is expressed through performance, e.g. improvements in tasks like mirror drawing.

  • Memory systems operate in parallel.

  • Our memory is reconstructive, thus, it is influenced by our knowledge, experiences and expectations.

Explanation

Question 7 of 18

1

Smooth pursuit eye movements

Select one of the following:

Question 10 of 18

1

Which of the following statements are correct (as a combination) regarding the mechanisms through which the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) support episodic memory encoding and retrieval?
(more than one answer is correct)

Select one or more of the following:

  • MTL is related to binding and strengthening of the association of different features received from the neocortical association area.
