- A loop from the hippocampus to the thalamus
- The major output of the hippocampus
- A gateway to the thalamus
- To project to the medial temporal lobe
7. Which is a semantic memory?
- Remembering last Friday AND that Paris is the capital of France
- Learning to ride a bike
- Remembering that Paris is capital of France
- Remembering last friday

- Implicit (non-concious) learning
11. Did patient HM show evidence of both anterograde and retrograde amnesia?
- Yes, severe retrograde and some anterograde
- Yes, severe anterograde and some retrograde
- No
12. What type of memory does rey figure copy tap?
- Visual learning
- Procedural learning
- Verbal learning
- Semantic memory
13. Which type of memory is largely non concious?
- Remembering breakfast
- Riding a bike
- Getting faster at typing by practice

14. Does retrieval reinstate activity in the same cortical areas as encoding when links are strong?
15. Which of these is NOT preserved in amnesia?
- Verbal learning (with concious recollection)
- Implicit (non-concious) memory; motor skills and lexical priming and classical conditioning
- Short-term memory (STM)
- Semantic memory (previously acquired facts)
16. What is the MAIN conclusion of studies investigating impairments from hippocampal damage?
- Hippocampus is crucial for implicit and procedural recollection (mental time travel)
- Hippocampus is crucial for the UNconcious retrieval of an experience or episode (mental time travel)
- Hippocampus is crucial for the concious retrieval of an experience or episode (mental time travel)
- Hippocampus ONLY stores multimodal information and is not responsible for mental time-travel
