parts of brain involved in memory Flashcards
what part of brain involved in explicit semantic
hippocampus, amygdala, neocortex
what part of brain involved in explicit episodic
hippocampus, amygdala, neocortex
what part of brain involved in implicit procedural
neocortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum
what part of brain involved in implicit classically conditioned
cerebellum, amygdala, neocortex
what does basal ganglia do
The basal ganglia lying deep within the brain with extensive connections to the neocortex and other brain areas has a role in long-term formation, encoding & retrieval of implicit memories involving voluntary motor skills.
what does neocortex do
formation, consolidation, storage and retrieval of long-term explicit memories through direct communication with the hippocampus. Long term implicit motor responses (procedural) & complex classically conditioned responses
what does cerebellum do
involved in the encoding and temporary storage of implicit procedural memories for muscle control and numerous other motor skills
Does form and store implicit memories of simple reflexes aquired through classical conditioning
what does amgydala do
Involved in the formation and consolidation of a explicit emotional memories & other wide range of other emotional memories
Role on the classically conditioned fear response involving implicit memories
what does hippocampus do
part of the brain that turn short-term memories into long-term memories
Crucial in the formation, encoding & consolidation of new semantic & episodic memories so that they are neurologically stable and long-lasting.
