The results of experiments on long-term potentiation have demonstrated that
A)retroactive interference is a permanent condition.

C)memory can be artificially enhanced using drugs.
D)all of these are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process where synaptic connections between neurons become stronger with frequent activation, which is a cellular mechanism underlying learning and memory. Experiments have shown that memory can indeed be artificially enhanced using drugs that affect the biochemical pathways involved in LTP, supporting option C. Options A and B are not supported by LTP research; retroactive interference is not considered a permanent condition in the context of LTP, and ECS is generally associated with disrupting, not improving, memory.
