Question 1

storage of memories

Answer 1

distributed across brain
simple memories may be formed, encoded and stored in one place
complex memories have clusters stored throughout brain and liked through neural pathways

Question 2

cerebral cortex

Answer 2

• permanent storage of explicit (semantic and episodic) memories
• most likely frontal lobe
• well learned procedural memories (long term)
• complex classically conditioned responses (not reflexes)

Question 3

hippocampus

Answer 3

• consolidates STm explicit into LTm, then stored in cerebral cortex
• not involved in formation or storge if implicit

Question 4

amygdala

Answer 4

• encodes explicit emotional short term memories
• doesnt perminately store them
• level of emotional arousal at time of encoding influence strength of memory
• more emotion, more adrenaline
• fear response (classically conditioned fear response)
• nit involved in semantic or procedural memories

Question 5

cerebellum

Answer 5

• encoding and temporary storage of procedural memories
• stored long term in cerebral cortex once learned well
• forms and stored reflexes long term
• not involved in explicit memories``
