Question 18 of 23

1

The hippocampus is the main structure in the limbic system for establishing explicit memories. It forms and consolidates long-term memories from short -term memories.

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 19 of 23

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Explicit or ( Declarative, Metabolized ) memory involves storage and retrieval of knowledge to conscious mind. Types of explicit memories are ( energetic, episodic ) (personal experiences) and ( seminal, semantic ) (naming and hierarchical knowledge). Episodic memory involves the ( hippocampus, prefrontal cortex ), entorhinal cortex, mamillary bodies, and thalamus. Deficits here suggest a ( memory disorder, normal aging ). Semantic memory are stored in the ( powerpoint slides, temporal lobe ).
