As expected, H.M. was severely impaired at recognizing faces from his post-surgery period (the 1950s and 1960s), but he performed as well as or better than age-matched controls at recognizing faces of persons who were in the news before his surgery. What does this research suggest about the role of the hippocampus/medial temporal lobe in explaining the long-term storage of memories?Research Project #1Storage of long-term memoriesRetrieval of long-term memoriesCreation of long-term memoriesResearch Project #2H.M. was shown a five-pointed star, with a double contour, and asked to trace its outline with a pencil; but he was only able to see his hand and the star as reflected in a mirror. H.M. acquired this mirror-drawing skill during ten trials and exhibited excellent retention across 3 days. Yet at the end of testing, he had no recollection of having done the task before. What does this research explain about types of memory? What type of memories are likely maintained by the medial temporal lobe?Research Project #2Types of Memory____________Hippocampus is involved____________Hippocampus not involvedCerebellum, Motor Cortex, Caudate NucleusOrganization of stored memoriesClusteringOrganizing similar info into groupsSchemasKnowledge/memory based on previous experiencesSemantic NetworksConcepts linked togetherRetrieval errors a.k.a. forgettingIneffective codingDecayInterferenceRetroactive vs. proactive Transfer-appropriate processingMisinformation effectAccuracy of Eyewitness TestimonyMemory reconstruction from schemas_________________ effectDiscussing with othersOverconfidenceLack of _____________ attentionSuggestive questioningRepressed memoriesRecovered memoriesSpontaneousTherapeutic TechniquesSuggestibilityHypnosisLeading questionsDream
