  1. LEARNING AND MEMORY Chapter 11

  2. Learning and Memory Learning • How experience changes the brain Memory • How changes are stored and subsequently reactivated • Memories are stored in specific structures, not diffusely throughout the brain

  3. Memory: Types and Structures Short-Term Memory (STM) • 1 sec., to minutes, to hours Long-Term (LTM) • Days, weeks, to lifetime

  4. Memory: Types and Structures Working Memory Implicit Memories • Not consciously available Explicit Memories • Readily conscious, are • Motor skills – how to tie capable of putting into shoe words/images 1. Semantic Memory • Explicit memories for general facts or information 2. Episodic Memory • Memories for events or experiences in life

  5. Memory: Types and Structures Overall • Explicit memories are believed to be stored in parts of the brain that mediated their original perception

  6. The Case of H.M. p. 265 Retrograde Amnesia • Loss of memory for an events before the amnesia-inducing brain injury Anterograde Amnesia • Loss of memory for events occurring after the amnesia-inducing brain injury

  7. The Case of H.M. Medial Temporal Lobectomy Removal of: • Most of hippocampus, amygdala, and adjacent temporal cortex

  8. Memory: Types and Structures Medial Temporal Lobe Amnesia 1. Difficulty in forming explicit and episodic long-term memories 2. Retain the ability to form implicit and semantic long-term memories Read: p. 269

  9. The Case of H.M.

  10. Memory: Types and Structures Amygdala Prefrontal Cortex • Memory for emotional • Memory for temporal order events (sequence of events) • Fear responses • Working memory • Damage may not affect semantic memory

  11. Memory: Types and Structures Cerebellum • Learned sensorimotor skills • Conditioned responses

  12. Striatum • Consistent relationships between stimuli and responses • habit-type relationships

  13. Memory Consolidation Big Picture Memory Consolidation • Models agree that there are • When first learned, short-term mechanisms memories are in a labile (traces), followed by long- (changeable or unstable) state term (consolidation) • Process of stabilizing a memory in to LTM is consolidation • Consolidation corresponds to physiological changes in cell assembly

  14. Memory Consolidation Memory Consolidation • Synthesis of proteins triggers growth of new synaptic connections Engram • A change in the brain that stores a memory

  15. Memory Consolidation Hebb’s Theory • Memories are stored temporarily by neural circuits reverberating Reverberatory Activity: The continual reactivation of a neural circuit following an experience Picture this: • You take an aluminum bat…

  16. Memory Consolidation Reverberatory Activity Burns (1958) isolated a section of cortical tissue in the cat by cutting its neural connections to other parts of the brain. In the isolated section, he electrically stimulated selected areas and recorded bursts of neural activity in the area of stimulation that continued following termination of the stimulus

  17. Memory Consolidation Pinel (1969): Electroconvulsive Shocks on Rats Procedure • Thirsty rats placed in test box 10 min., 5 consecutive days • Niche in the box – rats explored it 1 -2 times per session • On 6 th day water spout placed in the niche • Rats allowed to drink for 15 sec.

  18. Memory Consolidation Pinel (1969): Electroconvulsive Shocks on Rats Electroconvulsive Shocks (ECS) • Control – No learning • Control – no ECS • 10 sec. • 1 min. • 10 min. • 1 hour • 3 hours Main Idea • ECS disrupts memory consolidation

  19. Memory Consolidation Pinel (1969): Electroconvulsive Shocks on Rats Procedure • Next day the retention of memory (memory consolidation) was assessed by measuring the number of times each subject explored the niche

  20. Memory Consolidation Condition Number of Times Explored Control – No Learning 1.5 10 sec 4 1 min 6 10 min 7.8 1 hour 8.5 3 hours 9.5 Control – No ECS 10 How can you explain the data? Do these data support Hebb’s Theory?

  21. Memory Consolidation • Then transferred to the Standard Consolidation Theory cortex and other more stable cortical storage systems • Memories are temporarily stored in the hippocampus

  22. Memory Consolidation Evidence For Consolidation 1. People can experience amnesia for an event if there is an insult to the brain shortly after the event: * ECS * Protein synthesis inhibition (hippocampus, amygdala) * Brain injury (concussion) 2. When learning 2 tasks in a row, the first task can be compromised, but not if there’s a break between the 2 tasks

  23. Consolidating the Effects of Waking and Sleep on Motor-Sequence Learning Brawn and Colleagues (2010) Research Question Introduction How do periods of “The acquisition of a new skill wakefulness and periods of initiates a process of memory sleep affect performance on a formation wherein the newly motor-sequence task? formed memory trace is consolidated into a more stable and strengthened form. The consolidation of memories is widely believed to benefit from sleep”

  24. Consolidating the Effects of Waking and Sleep on Motor-Sequence Learning Participants • 85 right-handed U. of Chicago students Motor Sequence Task • 4-1-3-2-4 • Press with left hand • Each key press produced an "*" on the screen to indicate the key press had been recorded without providing accuracy feedback.

  25. Consolidating the Effects of Waking and Sleep on Motor-Sequence Learning Experimental Conditions 1. Training in A.M. 2. Training in P.M. • Each condition included a training session and two posttest sessions that occurred 12 and 24 h after training.

  26. Consolidating the Effects of Waking and Sleep on Motor-Sequence Learning Schedule of Training and Testing Sessions Training Session Warm-up 1 10 s Pretest 1 30 s Training 9 30 s Posttrain Test 2 30 s Rest Period 1 5 min Warm up 1 10 s Postrest test 2 30 s Posttest Session 1 Warm-up 1 10 s Posttest 1 2 30 s Posttest Session 2 Warm-up 1 10 s Posttest 2 2 30 s

  27. Consolidating the Effects of Waking and Sleep on Motor-Sequence Learning

  28. Consolidating the Effects of Waking and Sleep on Motor-Sequence Learning “We found that performance deteriorated significantly across the day and then recovered after a night of sleep when participants were trained in the morning. In contrast, performance remained stable across both a night of sleep and subsequent waking when training occurred in the evening. Therefore, sleep restored motor-sequence performance after it had deteriorated during a period of wakefulness before sleep, and sleep stabilized the motor memory against degradation during a subsequent day of wakefulness.”

  29. Memory Reconsolidation Main Ideas • When memories are recalled, they become malleable (capable of change) • New memories and reactivated memories exist in similar states Video: How your memory works part 3, 4:00
