Question

question 7 (1 point)
a \flashbulb memory\ refers to:
o a a clear long - term memory of an emotionally significant event
o b a photographic memory for trivial details
o c a fabricated memory created by suggestion
o d short - term recall for visual details

question 8 (1 point)
which best defines long - term potentiation (ltp)?
o a a decrease in neural firing after learning
o b an increase in a cells firing potential after rapid stimulation
o c a reduction of neurotransmitter release
o d the loss of neurons due to aging

Explanation:

• Question 7: Flashbulb memory is defined as a clear long - term memory of an emotionally significant event. For example, people often have vivid memories of events like the 9/11 attacks. Photographic memory (option b) is about recalling trivial details with high accuracy (not the case for flashbulb memories). Fabricated memories (option c) are false memories created by external influence, which is not what flashbulb memory is. Short - term recall (option d) is about immediate memory, while flashbulb memories are long - term.
• Question 8: Long - term potentiation (LTP) is an increase in a cell's firing potential after rapid stimulation. It is a key mechanism in synaptic plasticity and learning. A decrease in neural firing (option a) is the opposite of LTP. A reduction of neurotransmitter release (option c) is not the definition of LTP. The loss of neurons due to aging (option d) is related to neurodegeneration, not LTP.

Answer:

• Question 7: A. A clear long - term memory of an emotionally significant event
• Question 8: B. An increase in a cell's firing potential after rapid stimulation
