Hello, I've been doing my revision and there's just a few concepts that I'm a bit wishy washy about... hopefully some of you can help me out!
What's the difference between adaptive plasticity and developmental plasticity?
My teacher simply tells us to link adaptive plasticity with rerouting and sprouting, and synaptogenesis & synaptic pruning with developmental plasticity... however, I took a look at the Grivas text book and synaptogenesis and pruning's under adaptive plasticity...
Both do occur throughout life though.. right?
Regarding the schedules of reinforcement, is it true to say that variable interval's the least effective and variable ratio's most resistant to extinction?
For stress, are the coping mechanisms part of secondary appraisal? or does emotion/problem focused coping occur after the individual has decided that they can cope?
Does both the central executive and episodic buffer link LTMs with the items in the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad? What exactly does the episodic buffer do?
And lastly, is LTP linked with consolidation? I find that every time I encounter a question asking me to describe the consolidation process, I write about the changes in the neurons (more neurotransmitters and synapses formed) as well as the timing.. etc, but the sample answers don't require that much detail...
I hope that wasn't too much, thanks in advance!
