AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Explicit memory. There are three areas of the brain involved in explicit memory: the hippocampus, the neo-cortex and the amygdala.

Detailed explanation-2: -The functioning of implicit memory is thought to involve the cerebellum and the basal ganglia (Dew & Cabeza, 2011). The cerebellum which is essential for procedural memories is located at the base of the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum, basal ganglia and motor cortex are involved in implicit memory, but of course, it is supervised by the cerebral cortex. Hippocampus, which is essential for explicit memory, is not needed for implicit memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hippocampus is associated with declarative and episodic memory as well as recognition memory. The cerebellum plays a role in processing procedural memories, such as how to play the piano. The prefrontal cortex appears to be involved in remembering semantic tasks.
