Question

Neurological studies on memory have revealed that the______ play an important role in explicit memory and that the _____ play an important role in implicit memory.
A. hippocampus and temporal lobe / cerebellum and cerebral cortex
B. hypothalamus / corpus callosum
C. cerebellum / hypothalamus
D. basal ganglia / thalamus

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Implicit memory is based upon previous experiences and is a non descriptive form of memory therefore it cannot be described in word. Explicit memory on the other hand is descriptive and is based upon logic, facts and reasoning.  

Implicit memory is associated with Cerebellum, basal ganglia and motor cortex while explicit memory is determined by Hippocampus which is supervised by the cerebral cortex.  

Hence, option A is correct
