6. What is the function of the fornix?

  • 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

8. Which area in the circuit for binding of experiences codes for familiar character?

  • Parahippocampal place area
  • Inferior temporal cortex
  • Anterior temporal lobes
  • Hippocampus

9. Memory is?

  • Resource-constrained
  • Descriptive
  • Associative
  • Demanding

10. What memory does mirror drawing tap?

  • Procedural learning
  • Motor learning
  • STM
  • 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
  • Where Q is on the keyboard

14. Does retrieval reinstate activity in the same cortical areas as encoding when links are strong?

  • Yes
  • No

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
