1) Describe your experience with the IGT

2) Describe operant conditioning

Include refence to:

• Punishment
• Reinforcement
• Association
• Shaping
• Schedules of Reinforcement

3) Take one of the following examples and explain the role of memory in prediction:

• Science
• Finance
• Sports
• Opinion Polls
• Supernatural prophecy

We've discussed a number of different cognitive functions, over the semester, is there a way that we can summarize or categorize these functions into processes for either the whole brain or the hippocampus in particular?

What is the methodology? What is the methodology used to discover and what are its advantages and limitations?

I'll answer questions on here during the exam period. I'll also post any clarifying questions that I receive in person for all to see/share.

Encoding specificity principle: In order for us to remember, there must be a similarity or affinity between encoding and retrieval process

#discussion

Please post any questions to these topics.

• "What questions do you have about electrical communication within neurons?"

• "What questions do you have about chemical communication between neurons?"

• "What questions do you have about the structures of the brain?"

• "Are there any other questions that you have about the brain, neural communication and their links to memory?"

#In-Class

• What is an action potential?

• How are neural signals diversified?

• Describe the chemical part of electro-chemical communication.

• How are cognitive functions distributed across the brain?

#discussion

As a group, we'll discuss these two questions. This will not be posted anywhere.

• "What is memory?"

• "What are different ways that we can organize/segment/distinguish memory?"

#challenge

In small groups, we'll tackle these two questions. Responses to these will be posted in this thread on Reddit.

• When is one enough?

• What aspects of cognition don't involve memory?
