I’m studying and need help with a Psychology question to help me learn.

1. How memories formed at the following levels?

  1. Molecular: What is long-term potentiation (LTP)?
  2. Cellular: How is the hippocampus important for memory?
  3. System: How widely are memories distributed in the brain?

2.  How would you distinguish amnesia from normal forgetting? When would you call an absent-minded person amnesic?

3. What’s better: A memory that records objectively and accurately, or a memory that can be updated to support newer levels of understanding?
