8. HM demonstrated spared skill-learning. How does your textbook define skill-learning? Give examples of the types of skills he could still acquire after his surgery.
9. What is the Morris Water Test and how is it used to demonstrate that rats, with damage to hippocampal region, suffer from amnesia. How is this test also used to demonstrate that these same rats can still learn new skills?
10. Differentiate between explicit memory and implicit memory systems. Give examples of each. Which system seems to require the hippocampus?
11. Also differentiate between declarative memory and procedural memory systems. Again, which system seems to rely on the hippocampus?
12. What is relational learning? What kind of associations does the hippocampus seem to support?
13. What fMRI evidence does B&C offer to support the idea that the hippocampus is important for the binding of various types of information when encoding episodic memories?
14. Differentiate between place cell, grid cells, and time cells in the hippocampus. How are these cells like one another? How do they differ?
15. B&C discuss the findings of a study by Ryan and Shen (2020). Discuss the methodology, findings, and conclusions of this study especially in terms of the findings relate to whether the hippocampus is needed for the conscious processing information.
