PSYD50H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Parahippocampal Gyrus, Receiver Operating Characteristic, Temporal Lobe
Document Summary
Effects of extensive temporal lobe damage/mild hypoxia on recollection and familiarity (yonelinas) Mtl damage impaired performance on memory in general: consists hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus (phg, phg familiarity for recollection of previous events. Hypoxia temporary loss of oxygen leads to damage to hippocampus, but phg is still intact. Therefore, we are isolate phg and hippocampus functions if they use hypoxic patients. Thesis: examined memory performance by comparing mild hypoxic patients (h) and patients w/ extensive temporal lobe damage: 1) recall and recognition test; 2) reporting what you remembered for recognition; 3) analyzing confidence for recognition. Results: examined delay recall and recognition for hypoxic and control. Measured severity of hypoxia using coma duration: results: hypoxic perform worse than control for recall and recognition. Compared hippocampal damage as well as surrounding phg (h+) versus (h) versus control: results: h and h+ deficits in recollection.
