Experiments involving patients with damage to the medial temporal lobe demonstrate that: a. The patients are selectively impaired on declarative memory tasks requiring the access of semantic knowledge. b. The patients are not only impaired on explicit memory tasks but are also unable to form novel contextual representations even if this learning occurs implicitly. c. The classic distinction between declarative and procedural memory should be reconceptualized as a distinction between explicit and implicit memory. d. The patients show similar deficits on implicit and explicit memory tasks when the tasks are equated for difficulty.

Step 1
The patients are selectively impaired on declarative memory tasks requiring the access of semantic knowledge. This statement is true, as damage to the medial temporal lobe affects declarative memory, which includes semantic knowledge. b. The patients are not only Show more…

The brain regions important for formation of new declarative memories Select one: a. include the hippocampus and associated structures. b. are different from the brain regions involved in recalling previously-formed declarative memories. c. are different from the brain regions involved in forming non-declarative memories. d. are likely damaged in patients with anterograde amnesia. e. All of the above are correct

Help! Your Neurobiology professors can't agree on the best way to categorize the various memory systems. Compare and contrast the below memory systems. Be sure to include how memories can be categorized in each based on duration, the kind of information stored, and the brain structures involved. a. Short-term versus Working versus Long-term memory b. Explicit/Declarative versus Implicit/Non-declarative memory

Which of the following does not seem to be a function of the hippocampus? a. converting short-term memories into long-term declarative memories b. forming procedural memories c. creating long-term memories of facts (semantic memory) and life experiences (episodic memory) d. serving as a temporary storage area for new memories
