QLD Unit 3 Parts of the Brain involved in Memory

Due to seizures after a brain damage Dr. William Scoville decided to remove H.M.’s _________________________________________.

• Amygdulla

• Hippocampus

• Prefrontal Cortex

• Cerebellum

Initially the doctor felt that H.M.’s surgery was a success his IQ _____________________ and he seemed to have no changes in his ______________________________.

• went down, mood

• trippled, dreams

• improved, personality

• lowered, vision

As a result of removing H.M's Hippocampus he did not lose his past Memory .

• True

• False

H.M. could make new memories despite the removal of his Hippocampus.

• True

• False

Plays a role in memories that are highly emotional, especially fearful memories.

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Cerebellum

• Prefrontal Cortex

Seems to be involved in procedural memory, motor learning, and classical conditioning or conditioned responses

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Cerebellum

• Prefrontal Cortex

Seems to be involved in the retrieval of memory. Brining long term memories into working memory when needed.

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Cerebellum

• Prefrontal Cortex

Involved in normal recognition memory as well as spatial memory, connects memories to other regions of the brain and with other memories, memory consolidation, transferring new learning into long-term learning.

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Cerebellum

• Prefrontal Cortex

6. What two parts of the brain are most involved in explicit memory?

• Frontal lobes and basal ganglia

• Amygdala and hippocampus

• Amygdala and cerebellum

• Cerebellum and basal ganglia

• Frontal lobes and hippocampus

The Amygdala

• Encodes explicit memories

• is crucial in the formation of emotional memories

• Stores implicit memories

• Is the shape of a hot cross bun
