PSY372H1 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Episodic Memory, Mental Representation, Rodent
Document Summary
Episodic memory enables use of contextual information about distinct episodes from one"s personal past to guide behaviour. Neurobiological approaches: (testing if memory is dependent on hippocampus?) There is evidence that the hippocampus is involved with the memory in both non-human and human subjects. Monkey study: they viewed 5 pictures and then later the monkeys were tested on those pictures. The monkey demonstrated the ability of remembering the order what the image appeared. Birds remembers what foods they hid in which locations at which pints in time. there are a lot of studies using food-hoarding species. Different species under different conditions encode time in different ways, some are more similar to human than others. Honeybees used circadian timing in a www memory. Monkey: demonstrate both the recollective and familiar based memory processing in recognition memory tests. Recollective processes are associated with episodic memory in human. Invariant visual representation by single neurons in the human brain.
