2. Brain and behaviour: Memory and Brain localisation

What is the primary role of the hippocampus in memory?

• Emotional regulation

• Formation of new memories

• Motor coordination

• Language processing

Which part of the brain is most associated with the emotional aspects of memory?

• Hippocampus

• Amygdala

• Prefrontal cortex

• Temporal lobe

How does the prefrontal cortex contribute to memory?

• Storing long-term memories

• Processing sensory information

• Planning and organising information

• Regulating emotions

Which lobe of the brain is primarily involved in the processing of auditory information and memory?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

What is the main argument in the debate on memory localisation theory?

• Whether memory is stored in the spinal cord

• Whether memory is localised to specific brain regions or distributed across the brain

• Whether memory is influenced by diet

• Whether memory is affected by physical exercise

Which research method is commonly used to study the connection between memory and the brain?

• Electroencephalography (EEG)

• Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

• Blood tests

• X-rays

Damage to which part of the brain is most likely to result in anterograde amnesia?

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Prefrontal cortex

• Temporal lobe

Which brain structure is involved in the consolidation of long-term memories?

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Prefrontal cortex

• Temporal lobe

What role does the amygdala play in memory?

• Storing factual information

• Processing emotional memories

• Coordinating motor skills

• Language comprehension

Which part of the brain is involved in working memory and executive functions?

• Hippocampus

• Amygdala

• Prefrontal cortex

• Temporal lobe
