Areas of the brain involved in memory

The area of the brain the is responsible for consolidating STM to LTM is the

• hippocampus

• amygdala

• cerebral cortex

• cerebellum

A semantic or episodic memory is an example of an

• Explicit memory, as the memory can be easily put into words

• Implicit memory, as the memory can be easily put into words

• Explicit memory, as the memory cannot be easily put into words

• Implicit memory, as the memory cannot be easily put into words

The memory of how to ride a bike is an example of an

• Explicit memory

• Semantic memory

• Episodic memory

• Implicit memory

The role of the amygdala is to

• Convert STM to LTM

• providing the link between emotion and memory

• Storing explicit memories

• storing implicit (procedural) memories

If you are learning how to dive, the area of the brain responsible in enable the sequence of skills to be encoded and stored is the

• cerebral cortex

• amygdala

• cerebellum

• hippocampus

People with damage to their hippocampus will still be able to learn

• Explicit memories

• Semantic memories

• Episodic memories

• Implicit memories

People with damage to their amygdala will no longer be able to form any new

• LTMs

• procedural memories

• phobias

• semantic memories

Examples of explicit memories are

• Procedural memories (eg, how to ride a bike)

• Episodic memories (eg memories of events)

• Semantic memories (eg memories of facts)

• Both episodic and semantic memories

Gerald was flying home from London and got upgraded to Business Class. He loved the flight and found it really relaxing. His seat number was 14A and his flight number was QA324.

Gerald finding the flight relaxing is an example of a/n

• Episodic memory

• Implicit memory

• Semantic memory

• Procedural memory

Gerald's seat number and flight details are an example of a/n

• Episodic memory

• Semantic memory

• Implicit memory

• Procedural memory
