What is procedural memory?

What effect does the repetition suppression have on a stimulus?
Making it easier to recall the stimuli
How is implicit information learned?
processed in bottom-up manner, passive role
How is explicit information learned?
processed in a top-down manner, active role
What neural circuits are involved in explicit memories?
Frontal cortex
Medial temporal region
What neural circuits are involved in implicit memories?
Basal ganglia
Thalamus
Premotor cortex
What is perceptual priming?
Repeated presentations of a stimulus facilitates its physical features
What is conceptual priming?
Repeated presentation of a stimulus facilitates the meaning of that stimulus
