[Solved] Short-Term Memory Appears to Require Maturity in the

 The central executive role in working memory most likely involves the A) hippocampus. B) amygdala. C) orbitofrontal cortex. D) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).

 Human infants achieve object permanence around the age of A) six months. B) seven or eight months. C) twelve months. D) eighteen months.

 Object permanence in monkeys A) does not occur. B) occurs at a much earlier developmental stage than in human infants. C) remains normal in cases of parietal lesion, but is eliminated in cases of prefrontal lesions. D) is eliminated in cases of both parietal and prefrontal lesions.

 Important attentional aspects of short-term memory require activation in the A) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex. B) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex. C) hippocampus and the anterior cingulate cortex. D) hippocampus and the posterior cingulate cortex.

 Your great uncle recently had a stroke, and there have been some subtle differences in his behavior. For example, you were playing checkers, and he was doing fine. But when your checker was "kinged" and could therefore move according to a different set of rules, he didn't seem to be able to adjust. When you asked him if he realized what the rules said, he did, but he continued to play as if he didn't. Considering what you learned about brain areas and memory, what part of his brain would you suspect has damage? A) the hippocampus B) the diencephalon C) the prefrontal cortex D) the parietal lobe

 James constantly asks his friend Rob to tell him what the professor just said in lecture, because James has much more trouble remembering verbal information long enough to write it down in his notes. It is likely that James A) has some type of mild brain damage. B) is more likely than Rob to use simple repetition to remember verbal material. C) experiences more activation of his anterior cingulate cortex than Rob during verbal tasks. D) is more likely than Rob to use semantic strategies during short-term verbal memory tasks.

 The formation of procedural memories may involve activity in the A) dorsomedial thalamus. B) anterior thalamus. C) striatum. D) hippocampus.

 The nucleus accumbens A) does not participate in learning of any type. B) is important to long-term but not to short-term learning. C) is important in episodic and semantic memory but not procedural memory. D) contributes to the evaluation of reward during procedural learning.

 Lesions in the striatum interfere with _________ memories. A) procedural but not declarative B) declarative but not procedural C) both declarative and procedural D) short-term but not long-term

 Samantha's grandfather has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Samantha knows that Parkinson's disease affects the basal ganglia, so she is able to tell her grandfather that he is likely to experience A) little if any memory impairment. B) problems with procedural memories but not declarative memories. C) problems with declarative memories but not procedural memories. D) problems with both declarative and procedural memories.
