QUESTIONS How does chunking help us retain more information in memory? It increases the capacity so that we can remember far more than 7 plus or minus 2 units of data. It allows for faster consolidation of new memories so that they become more rapidly rooted in long-term memory. It combines individual data points so that we can remember 7 plus or minus 2 groups of information more efficiently. It helps to offset the natural occurrence of both proactive...

Discuss the neural basis of auditory Pavlovian fear conditioning. In your answer make reference to the following: Describe the major sensory inputs to the lateral amygdala and the major output projections of the central nucleus that control different components of the fear response (e.g. freezing vs. autonomic fear CRs). Describe the evidence that indicates that the lateral amygdala is a site of CS-US integration in the fear memory system and neurophysiological evidence that indicates that that the formation of auditory...
